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

I was a regular gym-goer and enjoyed running on a weekly basis. I didn’t incorporate any tempo, interval, hill training with my running. My runs tended to incorporate fairly flat routes and I would aim for a steady pace.

What have you achieved?

My first ultra-marathon, The Australian Alpine Ascent 50km in the Snowy Mountains of NSW!

It’s been wonderful to have a tailored running program that was designed to fit around my schedule. I really enjoyed the different types of running sessions in my program and have learned how much diversity there can be with a running session. From intervals to tempo runs, hill sessions and slow sessions! The diversity of the program certainly made it interesting and fun and something I hadn’t done before. I really enjoyed the structure of the program and I made sure I stuck to the program. This was helped by my regular phone catch-ups with Jase to discuss how I was getting on and whether we needed to adjust any sessions.

The program certainly made me disciplined!

What are some of the changes you’ve noticed?

I’ve had an ongoing knee issue for a while but with a balance of the strength and running sessions incorporated with the program, my knee pain has almost disappeared!

Since doing the program I’ve felt a lot fitter and stronger than I’ve done before and my endurance has really improved. I’m actually sad that the Australian Alpine Ascent is over as I’m worried I’m going to lose my fitness!!

I’ll have to sign up for another event!
