Client Success Story
Andy

What was life like before training with V&B Athletic?

I had struggled to find consistency with my training, especially strength work and I wasn’t motivated by gyms.

I had been running socially for a couple of years but was looking to train specifically for long-distance running with an aim to complete the Buffalo Stampede Ultra.

What have you achieved?

Enjoyment and consistency.

I was already doing the STRONGCorps group training and then signed up for the EVOLVE program to prepare me for the Buffalo Stampede Ultra, a 75km sky running race over the Victorian alpine region with +4500m elevation. I had never done anything like this before but over 3 months, a combination of the strength work, running and nutrition program got me to the lightest and fittest I have ever been.

I completed the Buffalo Stampede Ultra, which was the longest I had ever run in 14hrs and 23mins.

What are some of the changes you’ve noticed?

The advice provided by Jase has been invaluable and has improved my running and efficiency. I also feel that through getting up consistently and training with STRONGCorps in the mornings it has improved my discipline and has taught me to push through the grind.

What is life like now?

After completing Buffalo Stampede Ultra I have also completed the UTA 50, the Glow Worm Trail Marathon and I’m looking to do the Gone Nuts 101 in Tasmania and Buffalo Stampede Ultra again next year.

The training and completing the Buffalo Stampede Ultra has given me a lot of resolve to push on to achieve more. I love the feeling of exceeding your own expectations of yourself!
