I have always loved running, whether that be racing on the track, running the road for a marathon, chasing a football growing up, or running after my twin brother. Running has given me so much and I am not sure where I would be today without it. It is...
The 2004 world cross country (WXC) in Brussels was certainly the highlight of my career. It was my 4th world cross country (my first time in the 8km race) and without a doubt, going into it, I was in my best shape of my career to date.
I had always doubted my ability in these big races, i.e. Olympics, world track and field champs, world indoors etc, but for some reason, when I ran in the WXC, I always knew I belonged at the front. In the back of my mind in WXC races, I knew I could beat everyone (even the Africans) if I had a good day. I had no fear and always raced aggressively, putting myself in medal winning positions even at my first one in 2001 (where I placed 6th). I was incredibly consistent at the WXC year in, year out. I was never able to achieve this consistency on the track or road.

June 10th this year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest middle-distance performances of all time. Britain's Sebastian Coe's world 800m record of 1.41.73. At Florence (Firenze) Italy on a calm summer evening, the legendary distance running icon produced what was...
Like most runners, I have suffered from numerous injuries. I started running at school when I stopped gymnastics and diving, and after running for about ten years, I have suffered from shin splints, fibula fractures, sacral fractures and much more!
It’s Monday afternoon, the 28th of June, in the beautiful St. Moritz. I’m relaxed, tired, excited and anxious all in one. I almost feel like I’m experiencing a bit of a come down since the U.S. Olympic Trials have finally ended and my mornings will no longer consist of...
After suffering from a combination of shin splints and issues with a chronically tight soleus muscle over the past two years, I’ve tried many treatment options, including massage and dry needling. However, these treatments weren’t overly effective at reducing the time I spent out when injured.
You'll either know me as that kid with the youtube channel, or you just won't know me at all. When really you should know me as the guy who is faster than Stewy Mcsweyn by 3sec over 800m according to our world athletics profiles.

For everyone who doesn’t know me my name is Andre.
My running journey didn’t take off until my early 20’s and I never had the intentions nor vision of seeing myself as to where I am today.
I always had an interest in sport so in the summertime my parents signed...
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been running. As a little 6-year-old, Mum and dad enrolled my three brothers and me in Runaway Bay Little Athletics where I immediately fell head over heels in love with the sport. To this day, I’ve never really been able to...
