As I ran the New York Marathon it hit me why we do tempo, intervals, hills and fast finish. Debbie’s words in our final weeks of training was: “These sessions are gold! I can send you out and tell you to run for long kilometres every week but these interval sessions will get you over the line”. When I hit a rough patch those words, encouragement and power of positive mind got me through. Yesterday I ran out of my comfort zone and had the time of my life! Sue Addison (BEXI Marathoner)
