Events are back
What was 2020 all about? No events. No comps. The fun in FunRun was taken away. Some of us just ran. And ran. And ran.....
But at least for now, in the Lucky Country, eventing is BACK
You may ask yourself will be “am I ready”, “which event”, “why”...
If you have been doing some form of regular training, YES, you are run ready for an event, providing it aligns with where you are at physically. Your coach will be able to help you answer that one, that’s what we are here to do. We will find an event that is a great fit for you.
Some of us are experiencing a flat spot right now. And given where we have been over the past 12 months, understandable. Like group training, running in an event brings on so many mental health benefits. Motivation, social connection, that personal sense of pride when that challenge has been met, healthy distraction from the noise around us, accountability, and a massive confidence injection. These are big boxes ticked on your wellbeing journey!
We have established you are ready for an event.
Let’s start local. Park Run - 5k, every week, everywhere. Simple, easy, fun, free! www.parkrun.com.au.
We as a group will be targeting some local iconic events - Run Melbourne on 25th July for one...a few weeks after Gold Coast, a great way to test yourself as part of the lead up to Melbourne Marathon (10th October).... Check out www.solemotive.com/pages/our-events. They also put on the Sandy Point Half and a number of other fantastic local runs you would have come across.
Trail races are also on our radar. We will be heading up to the Maroondah Dam soon! 24th April...Check out trailsplus.com.au/maroondah/ !
And let’s start to talk about interstate events again..
The Gold Coast Marathon in July….specific training for the half or full starts soon! It appears we will have a decent size group taking part, so if you are keen to get out of a Melbourne winter for a few days over school holidays, there is no better excuse than this event......
Events bring people together. And 2021 is the year for that. So let’s inspire and be inspired. #parkrunaustralia #running #goldcoastmarathon #solemotive
