Training Aussie guys before they hit the Races

In Sydney I was lucky enough to train some guys from Ernst&Young. I also gave seminars at Sydney companies about MultiStage running. There are many fast-moving executives interested in the events but Australia's location makes it difficult to get real info and access to the global races. Here's Giles from E&Y who is venturing off to his first MDS race this year. We fixed his pack, so it no longer choked him with the weight!...sorted out some clothing, heat and food issues...so hopefully he and the guys will have great races and return with incredible stories..inspiring others to come along.

Australia..Talks on Multistage running

As you can imagine, Australia has diverse and spectacular landscapes, perfect for outdoor training in many sports, especially MultiStage running. As yet, only a dozen Aussies venture overseas to the various races. I was invited to speak at the Terrigal Trotters meeting on a few consecutive Saturdays after their longer training run. Even though Trotters is a 'fun' running club in a small beach town, it is managed by a committee of renowned Australian runners, has over 500 members, a detailed newsletter written by a former New York reporter and many members who have done over 100 runs. No wonder..Terrigal is surrounded by forests and pristine beaches including Terrigal's main beach which stretches for 6 miles. It also has crystal clear baby surf, which I love. Hopefully see more of the Trotters at the upcoming races at the end of the year.
