Hi Runnerstribe, I’m back to fill you in on my latest training endeavours. Since my last blog, I have partaken in what is commonly known as “winter’ or “base” training. Training kicked off in early May with heart rate controlled 20min jogs. This dampened my initial thoughts of the base training, which...
It has been a breakthrough year in 2011 for Anneliese Rubie as she embarks on a senior career in track and field for Australia. A place on the Australian team for the upcoming World University Games in the women's 400m came on the back of a superb bronze medal...

Life’s challenges are not suppose to paralyse you, they’re suppose to help discover who you are.” Bonjour! The 7th IAAF World Youth Championships in Lille, France 6th-10th July 2011 was a marvellous experience! I went with a great group of talented athletes and managers; we bonded so well as a team....
