Are you a #reallife athlete juggling a balance between work/life/training. Well so are our coaches and just see what Jason Shields has been able to achieve in his #realjob. Jason on Monday took out the Australian Apple and Pear grower of the year award. If this wasn't enough, Wednesday he was Awarded Australian grower of the year for all of Fruit and Vegetable. He has been able to achieve this while Coaching and competing as a High Performance athlete. Ask yourself this question when looking for a coach. Who is going to better understand a #reallife athlete trying to manage healthy energy levels for work/training/recovery or a full time coach with all the time in the world to do this.
Also, the #thriveteam was well represented at Gold Coast Marathon with 4 athletes taking on the challenge. Markcus Brown decided to take on a fun run a week ago while on holiday in Qld and missed by 19 sec breaking the 3 hour mark. Tom Hung and Matt Cotter both had great days notching up a PB each. Sarah Pye's bad luck at this event continued having to withdraw at the 30km mark where she was looking strong and on track for a great result.
