Like Kurt Fearnley before him, Jaryd Clifford is on his way to becoming a household name. At 21 years-of-age, the vision impaired middle-distance runner won two gold medals at the 2019 World Para Athletics Championships (1500m and 5000m). We caught up with Jaryd as he continues his intense preparation for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
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).

Currently, I am home in Boulder Colorado with my rear end parked on the couch after my Silicon Valley Turkey Trot race. Training has been great here. Joining Tinman has been my first experience with altitude training. At first, I struggled but then things just seemed to click for me one day. It’s been smooth sailing since. I’ve been crushing workouts and feeling great. It’s been a huge perspective shift from college. The NCAA is a bit of a meatgrinder system.
