Get around some of these legends chasing their marathon dreams this April.
BOSTON MARATHON BOUND
Name:
Zak Round
PB: 2.55
Favourite training session in build up:
I enjoy the longer sessions, working around MP. Particularly the progression run: 3 x 3km @ (4.10/4.05/4.00) & also the 4 x 4km @ MP.
Favourite running location- A good, nicely groomed dirt road with rolling hills on the Ninch is hard to beat! Tucks Rd and Hunts Rd are absolute gems. Just had a 50min trot around Central Park in New York, which was bloody beautiful.
Fun Fact: can often be found listening to Mariah Carey’s or Sia’s Christmas album while running, no matter what time of the year. Guilty as charged.
