It is with great pleasure to announce that we have had our 1st Member to complete the 10k GOAL PACE training plan for 2023.
The 12 week plan saw Mathew Howell complete his final 10k run today. Mat’s target was to break 65mins, he not only smashed his target but also run a new PB of 59.16. Mat described the conditions as perfect today and said the last time he ran under 60mins was in 2017.
Fantastic achievement 👏🇳🇺👏🇳🇺
Congratulations are in order for Alice Pooley who completed her final run today of her 10k Goal Pace training plan.
Alice had a target of 1:35 but managed to beat this in week 7, with a new PB of 1:34:45. Instead of finishing the plan that week we decided to reset her target and aimed to knock another minute off by week 12. Alice completed her final run today smashing her new target with a new PB of 1:32:23, knocking just over 2 minutes off week 7.
“THIS GIRL CAN”….. 🇳🇺👏🇳🇺👏
