Melbourne Marathon Festival Recap Part 2
JAQUI is the GOAT of endurance running. Who runs 40k out 42.2k to pace a friend for the fun of it and then heads off to Captain a game of cricket without collecting a medal…… Jaqui of course. What a gem Jaqui is to our GetFitPT running family.
RICHIE is another newbie runner who came to me with a huge goal to run her first marathon this year on next to no running base at all! With a little stubbornness (not to do another half - as suggested by me) and loads of self motivation to prove to me that she could do the training, Richie can now be called a "Marathon Runner”. Richie’s goal was to finish under 5hrs and she certainly did with a time of 4hr43.
MARREE can now after almost 5 years of training with me be called a "marathon runner”! It's been a long journey shared together clocking up over 10,000k since 2019, but gee, what a memorable one it’s been. Marree’s never give up attitude no matter what, has enabled her to take part in countless events from 5k TTs to half marathons and now to her first FULL MARA. Marree has every reason to smile with an outstanding first marathon finishers time of 3h37min!!
For ME, all of the above achievements fulfilled my aspirations for the day.
I too, achieved my goals and can now proudly say that I am a 7 times marathon runner :)
WELL DONE TEAM
