A week that begins with the smashing of an Australian record which has stood for 43 years is already a good one, but the entire month of July has been a bit of a bonanza for Australian middle-distance running. Stretching the scale out to include the long-distance events, and bending...
Catriona Bisset has broken the Australian record for 800 metres. On Sunday, 21 July, at the Muller Games Diamond League in London’s Olympic stadium (and West Ham United’s home ground), Bisset finished second to Lynsey Sharp in one minute 58.78 seconds, slicing 0.22 off Charlene Rendina’s long-standing national record.

A Column By 2xOlympian, David McNeill Betterment. It’s a virtue that defines what a competitive runner strives for with every training endeavour: to be better. But it’s also a virtue that defines almost every aspect of our lives. Being a better parent. A better cook. A better writer. Better at...
At the recent NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships Australia's Izzi Batt-Doyle was a serious contender over 10,000m.  The fulfillment of a long term goal to reach the podium, Izzi ended her college career on a high.  We caught up with Izzi as her college days draw to an end to discuss her life as a Huskie and what the future has in store...
