In late 2004 Craig Mottram wrote an Olympic diary from the Athens Olympics. Today, we restore this masterpiece on Runner's Tribe, to inspire the new generation. Many thanks to Neil Macdonald (and Craig) for the below article.

One of the first questions that you ask when you meet someone is, “what do you do?” We each have a role in life which defines who we are, whether it is centred on work, the family or even leisure. Aristotle said that, “We are what we repeatedly do....

Asbel Kiprop decides not to continue his quest to prove his innocence of an alleged doping infraction and suddenly all’s well in the war against doping.

2019 was a big year from Sam Parsons; a switch to run for Germany and an appearance at the Doha World Championships making 2019 an eventful one for this rising 5000m athlete. Based in Boulder, Colorado, Sam is busy preparing for what will hopefully be a bigger 2020, with the Olympics just a stone throws away.We caught up with Sam to chat about 2019, his training, and heaps more.
Ed, congrats on the NSW 10,000m win (Ed took the win in 28:45, from Kieran Tall and Ben St Lawrence). Training has obviously been going well during this weird Covid impacted year. Can you lay out a typical week training wise during a hard patch, including all the small stuff like ice baths, pool work, yoga, Kombucha shakes etc….
EG: Thank you very much, It’s certainly been an eventful year but one i wouldn’t change at all! I must say spending my 23rd birthday out-sprinting Kieren Tall was a highlight (lol sorry mate).
The oldest running shoe company of them all, Saucony, have landed their latest high mileage trainer, and it does not, repeat, does not, disappoint.
Saucony states the following about the Triumph 17:
‘First-class long runs are lighter than ever.
For those who crave the ultimate in protective cushioning, the Triumph 17 is our most cushioned shoe, giving you everything you need to cruise through the longest of runs. Make running hangovers a thing of the past.’
So, are Saucony’s claims accurate, is this shoe worth the $250 investment?
Runner’s Tribe took the Triumph through the paces, and below is our unpaid for review.
