What a beautiful Autumn morning it was for this years leading warm up race to the big one in July The Gold Coast Marathon.  Leading the 10km was elite runner and our very own Michael Shelley, winning with a time of 29minutes over a relatively hilly course and beating 2nd place by 4 minutes. This is great preperation for the marathon in Rio this August. He awaits selection which will be shortly announced post the London marathon this weekend. We are only 10 weeks away from the Gold Coast Marathon this weekend so ensure the mileage is increasing but obviously not too quickly as you might end up with an overuse injury. We wish you all your best in preperation!
