Runners go through cycles in their training and racing. Sometimes, running feels like the most effortless thing in the world; and this is reflected in results from racing and training. However, other times running seems extraordinarily difficult, and motivation stoops to a low. This...
Running is such a tough individual sport and it is the runners around me who keep me motivated. I joined Gregor’s (Gregor Gojrzewski) training group at Essendon 6 years ago when I was 15. The head of sport at high school encouraged me to join an athletics club as...
Natasha Wodak is a celebrated long-distance runner who has achieved notable success in both track and road racing. Initially finding her strength in the 10,000m and half-marathon events, she set a Canadian record in the 10,000m in 2015, clocking in at 31:41.59. Overcoming personal and physical challenges, including injuries and setbacks that sidelined her for nearly a year, Wodak returned to form, qualifying for her first Olympics in Rio 2016 in the 10,000m, where she placed 22nd.

Thankfully, I’ve got guys like Matt Ramsden and Ben Chamberlain pulling me around the track here in Perth in the meantime. Obviously, Chambo and Ramsden need no introduction, and their professionalism and elite mindset towards training is something that I’m constantly learning from as a Duathlete. My 10km pb time was well below par for my standards, sitting at 31.15 on the track. However, after weeks of hard work, during threshold sessions, Rambo and Chambo were pulling me through at PB pace for 8km’s and I felt pretty comfortable. After surviving a bunch of these sessions, I was feeling good enough to have a crack at my PB. The Hoka Isolation Challenge was the only excuse I needed to throw on the racing flats.
