As we clock over 40 years of running I thought I would share with you some photos from years gone bye

Runner Profile – Norah Armstrong.

PBs

5km – 23.26

10km – 50.04

Half – 1.54.32

What is your age, and how long have you been running?

I turned 35 this week on  Wed 11^th and I have been running for 5 years.

When you have had success in a running event, what was the main attribute?

The main attribute for my half PB success and going under 2 hours was remaining injury free so I could train properly for the event. Chris’s coaching has been invaluable as he makes it so much easier with his advice and support.

If you could only run one event, which would it be?

Surf Coast Century – Because the trail is beautiful and you get to run with super friendly fit people. It’s on a Saturday and it’s a great weekend away.  

Have you considered an overseas running event?

One day I would love to go to either London, Boston, New York or Berlin.

Garlic pizza or garlic bread?

Garlic bread.

What do you like to do outside of running?

Cooking, gardening, eating ice-cream, going to the footy/cricket.

What are your thoughts on attempting a full mara one day?

I wont rule it out and I respect the work involved to get through it.

Tell us your upcoming events/goals for next year.

Nothing planned yet but I expect the next event will be at Wangaratta. I do have Gold Coast half locked in. It’s going to be an awesome one this year with the crew.

Due to most people reading the newsletter between 6 am and 10 am, and with people soon looking at taking a few weeks off work, I have decided to make this the last newsletter for the year. Facebook updates will continue by various club members. I’ll come back to it in early to mid-January 2020.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to the newsletter throughout the year.

Thanks to Sam, Tara, & Sharlene for chasing up reports from runners to contribute. Thanks to Chelsea for help with photos. Thanks to Mathieu and Liz for the technical help for when things just don’t work. And thank you to ALL SRC MEMBERS who submitted a report to be included. It’s all appreciated.
