It is crucial to acknowledge that endurance training does not rely on secret formulas or miraculous workouts. Instead, it revolves around subjecting the cardiovascular system, metabolism, and muscles to stress, triggering adaptive responses. While training methodologies may evolve, the core principles remain unaltered.
Northern Arizona University's, Matt Baxter interview with Runner's Tribe: NCAA D1 Cross Country National Team Champions Matt Baxter, a native New Zealander transferred into Northern Arizona this year from AUT in NZ, and has played a pivotal role in a team he knew little about beforehand. Baxter travelled from NZ to finish...
At 35-years-of-age, Lauren Reid is an impressive athlete. From 2:03 over 800m, to a 72 minute half marathon, her range is legit. Recently, Lauren won the NSW 10,000m champs; so we caught up with her for a quick yarn.
In the hours before Stewart McSweyn raced his way into the record books on Saturday night (a performance that will henceforth be referred to as that run), Hagenauer Reserve was already putting forward a strong case to become a more permanent home for the Zatopek:10.
A Column By Len Johnson - Runner's Tribe It is entirely fitting that Steve Moneghetti’s induction into the Athletics Australia Hall of Fame should have been announced the week of the world cross-country championships. Despite his great achievements at the marathon and on the track, it was the world cross-country which...
Milly Clark – an unfinished work It is always difficult to judge an unfinished work. And the marathon career of Milly Clark falls into that category. It is at the one time so brief, yet also so brilliant. A training-run debut – “we just thought it was an opportunity to get used to having drinks and practicing my gel intake,” she said in an iRun interview – was followed by a 2:29:07 serious debut in the October 2015 Amsterdam marathon. Amsterdam, in turn, earned Clark a spot in the Rio Olympic team where, in just her second serious marathon she was a top-20 finisher and first Australian home ahead of her more experienced teammates Jess Trengove and Lisa Weightman.
Hi everyone. Firstly I’d like to thank Runners Tribe and SiS for giving me the opportunity to write this blog and also to Brooks who have been sponsoring me for quite a few years now. For those that don’t know me I’m a distance runner from Inverell, NSW and...
By Aussie Marathon Star, Jessica Trengove - Runner's Tribe The word injury sparks a sense of familiarity and some level of anxiety in too many sportspeople. Whilst the associated challenges can be hard to stomach, I do believe they can teach us some of the greatest lessons. I would be...
I’ll never get to see Hayward Field, or the Hayward Field of my vicarious memory, at least. If I get there for the 2021 world championships it will be to a totally new facility. No stomping feet on the wooden steps of the famous East Stand. For those of us...
  For a while now, I have been trying to reconcile an apparent paradox in Australia’s championship marathon results. It’s a classic on-the-one-hand, on-the-other-hand kind of conundrum. Take Tokyo 2020, for example. Full representation – three men, three women; solid results. Sinead Diver was the standout - tenth in the women’s...
