Melbourne Marathon Festival Recap Part 1

CONGRATULATIONS our GetFitPT Runners who smashed their events last Sunday at the 2023 Melbourne Marathon Festival!
What a perfect day it was in every way. From ideal weather conditions, to the support from the crowd cheering us on, to the victorious goals achieved by everyone….. it all played out above our expectations.
As a coach and a participant myself, I couldn’t have asked for anymore. What a humbling day it was to share with Rylee, Kim, Claire, Ben, Jaqui, Richie and Marree.

RYLEE joined our team earlier on this year with no previous running experience. She took part in her first 5k event in June which inspired her to keep progressing and run in the 10k event. At 55mins, Rylee came in well under our predicted time goal and also managed to PB her 5k time.

KIM joined us in Feb this year with the plan to run her first ever half marathon. Originally, it was going to be Sydney Half, but due to injuries we delayed the special day for Melbourne. Once overcoming her little set back, Kim was highly motivated to commit to her training which resulted in achieving her half marathon goal with ease. Kim ran a very consistent and impressive half finishing in 2hr19min.

For CLAIRE, it was her second half marathon which she running for our dear mate Hally. Claire’s preparation wasn’t easy battling lots of challenges with injuries and a fall but that didn’t stop her from shaving off a huge 11min45sec from last years half marathon time coming in at 2hr32min.

4 weeks ago BEN completed Sydney marathon and was able to dig deep and run faster to claim his half mara PB in Melbourne which he so rightly deserved (1hr47). A credit to Ben’s commitment & determination not a miss a single training session (both running and strength & conditioning) and for taking on board all the nutrition and hydration knowledge I've been sharing this year.

Congratulations to our 2022 City2Surf champions Jayde, Claire and Ben. The infamous Heartbreak Hill didn’t deter these guys from ploughing through the challenging 14k course finishing at beautiful Bondi beach. A bucket list run for these 3 can now be ticked off ✅✅✅ Well done Jayde, Claire and Ben 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Nice to be officially running Run Melbourne events once again. Last time for me was pre covid back in 2019. Thank you Melbourne for putting on some amazing winter weather, making it so enjoyable for the masses of people who participated today. What a fun day! Congratulations to two of our GetFitPT runners, Kat and Claire, for their efforts in the 10k run.

Nice to be out running with these amazing GetFitPT runners. Perfect conditions for this year’s Run for the Kids. Well done Ben, Paul, Suzanne and Claire. Here’s to many more fun runs together in 2022 👍👍
