It’s been a busy and successful weekend of racing for RPG athletes - IM Kona World Champs + Chicago, Melbourne and Perth Marathon Festivals.

Melbourne Marathon NUMBER 11 for 's athlete Craig Cassidy turned out very nicely:

“This was my 11th Melbourne Marathon and I was very pleased with a sub 3 (AG 50-54). I had a good winter of cross country racing but had also picked up a few injuries which threatened to derail my plans. I managed to get over these and get to the start line.

Race day went well and I was happy with how I paced it. First 16k ticked off nicely and then things started to slowly build. I managed to get to 32k feeling good and the last 7k along St Kilda Rd was all about trying to maintain the pace. Atmosphere on course was great and it was pretty special seeing Kipchoge out there on the streets of Melbourne.

Plans now are a trip back to Scotland (where I'm originally from) for a few weeks where I'll do a few recovery runs and then it'll be back into triathlon training over the summer.”

Congratulations to Craig and Coach Trev on a stellar Sub 3 performance!

Dean Attard turning his run into a weapon at the Run Fest Central Coast Half Marathon last weekend, finishing in a very solid 1.20.07 and 5th overall. 👏

“I was happy with my time considering I nearly wasn’t going to race with how sick I had been leading up to the race.

I did a standard tri at the start of the year where I placed 1st in my age group, built from that into cairns 70.3 to get 10th AG another solid race! Then from there we went into a run block!

Not sure what’s next, more than likely another run block, as triathlons will be on hold for a bit. It’s been hard with a 2nd kid!

I’ve been with Twiggy for about 2 years now, I couldn’t have a better coach! He understands me well and generally cares about his athletes.”

Big congrats to and Coach 🏃‍♂️💨

Super shoes vs slower training shoes for training?

If you're training off pace, be aware that it's very common to see a 15 sec per km difference between super shoes and BST (bog standard trainers).. part of the reason we don't coach off pace very often along with many other reasons.

So when should you train in the super shoes?

For the injury proof runner, it likely doesn't matter. Run in whatever you enjoy most.

For the more injury prone there is often a misunderstanding that more cushioned must be better for preventing injuries which, depending on the injury can actually have the opposite effect.

Perks of training in a more firm, less cushioned training shoe:
- Some studies have shown using force plates, that when you reduce the cushioning, athletes actually change their run technique and impact through the leg can actually be lower than when you're relying on the cushioning to lower impact. So there 'can' be less impact injuries provided you slow down to match the desired training heart rate in the less economical shoe.
- ⁠High stack super shoes can exacerbate excessive over pronation and other issues that excessive movement through the ankle might cause while firmer training shoes can do the opposite.
- ⁠Firmer training shoes typically encourage higher strikes per minute. Higher strikes per minute can help some athletes reduce the incidence of injuries.

Perks of training in super shoes
- They're a lot faster and make running really fun.
- ⁠It's widely reported amongst runners that the carbon plates have reduced their past Achilles and calf injuries.
- Training in the shoes you're going to race in can help you get used to the extra stride length and vertical oscillation. If you're not used to it, the extra bound on each step on race day can kill your quads.

"I was on the Performance Pass for just under 12 months and absolutely loved it.

It gave me a great financial and mental break from one-on-one coaching, while still allowing me to keep progressing and maintain my form. I loved having the flexibility to blend different plans together around my goals, life style and training needs and I was genuinely surprised to pull off 3rd age group at Western Sydney while taking a step back from more structured coaching."

Thanks to Ness Wallace for her great feedback!

How to adapt and overcome less than ideal preparation, starring , and 70.3 Emilia Romagna 🇮🇹 ....

"My preparation was really poor due to life circumstances, and the race was formulated with Twiggy as an ‘extended training session’ so I could just enjoy it and finish, without putting pressure on myself.

Twiggy as usual was very helpful in his advice and despite a pretty horror lead in I got my finish and executed well within my capabilities. The race was awesome, and quite different from how they run in Australia. Opposite side of the road for starters! It was warm, humid, and the course was packed- apparently 3500 athletes.

I used a bit of a dodgy rental bike instead of my usual TT bike, old runners etc etc so it was very much a fun day without expectations. The run in particular was just to HR, and I enjoyed the scenery a lot. The long haul travel made things really tricky as I had to bring only barest necessities and buy my gels and bottles at the athlete village. I rented a road bike for the day which was ok too!

Twiggy really just tried to keep my mind at ease around expectations and not put too much pressure on myself. He often talks about the privilege of doing these races and that was what was in my head on the bike course, rolling through medieval villages in Naples (how lucky right?) I kept just trying to take in the view without hitting a pothole! The roads here are atrocious.

The swim went really well but I lined up late and so was seeded right at the back which made it tricky navigating through a bunch of swimmers that were either lost or struggling but I was pretty happy with it.

The bike was solid- had to keep remembering to stay right, not left!

The transitions were loooooong. The way it was set up meant lots and lots of running through racks to get to gear.

And the run was awesome on the marina in Cervia. Incredible atmosphere in Europe. So many people crowding the course - felt like the Tour de France a little!"

We love your work Iain. 👊😎

Post race it’s all smiles for . P3 on the day - AG35-39 🥉👏

“Training has been going really well! has got me in good shape leading into Kona!

Working with Clint is great. I've been coached by him since mid 2022. He knows how I’m going to be feeling before I do most the time through this build!

Plan for Sunny Coast on the weekend was a solid swim and ride, then run an Ironman feel run and don’t do too much damage so we can get straight back into training for the final 3 week push to World Champs.

Heading over to Kona on the 1st of Oct to do the final part of the prep over there! "

Podium achieved, mission accomplished, onwards and upwards towards Kona. 🌺🌈🌴😎👊
