A champion fun runner, Jeremey Jbegan competitive running at the age of 22 and has been moving at a rapid pace ever since. The child of dairy farmers, Jeremey grew up in a small country town, where a lack of distractions led to an early athletic diet of cricket, AFL and tennis. Upon finishing high school, Jeremey moved to Canberra to study Sports Science, at which time he started running to keep fit (and presumably to keep warm in the bitter Canberra winters). After completing his Sports Science degree, Jeremey moved to Sydney to study Physiotherapy. It was at this time that he entered his first race – the Woodstock fun run. At the same time he became involved in Duathlon and went on to represent Australia in the World Championships in Italy in 1996. Unfortunately, the pressure of university studies, part time work and training became too great and Jeremey was forced to abandon this sport. Then, in 1999, Jeremey INSIDE BLISTER 106 started running for Athletics Ferrous fellows focus on far East in the state flung fiery folly in Hawaii winter championships.

  • Camille and Comrades
    July 2017 Issue No. 255 CAMILLE AND COMRADES: Herron reflects on historic win at world’s premier ultramarathon By Jenni Carlson Camille Herron sat at a high-top table away from the hustle and bustle of the burger joint. The weekday lunch rush at The Garage in Midtown was largely over, but after a late-morning workout at Lake Hefner – she wanted to run in the heat and the wind -- a burger overflowing with toppings and an order of sweet potato fries sat in front of her. She needed calories. She wanted fuel. But for long stretches, the food went untouched – Herron was talking about her running instead of eating. And there’s lots to talk about these days. When Herron and I met for a late lunch, it was only two weeks after the Oklahoma native’s historic win at the Comrades Marathon in South Africa. She became only the third American, male or female, to win the world’s most prestigious ultramarathon. And it was only a week or so before she went to the Western States 100, one of trail racing’s biggest events. Herron, 35, couldn’t have been more excited about what she’s already accomplished this year, starting with Comrades. “I won the World Cup,” she said, trying to explain how big Comrades is in the world of ultramarathoning. She went to Comrades for the first time three years ago. At that point, she was transitioning to Camille Herron ultramarathoning after an extremely successful See Camille, on page 6 marathoning career -- she won the Oklahoma City www.okcrunning.org July 2017 President’s Message By Matthew Wilcoxen, President Summer has sprung!

  • Swim Serpentine Training Plans
    Swim Serpentine Training Plans To swim one mile in a 25 metre pool you'll need to complete 64 lengths. If you're new to swimming, or are looking to improve, find out if there are any adult swimming sessions in your pool, perhaps a triathlon club or ‘Masters’ training session. These sessions are often welcoming and a great way to progress quickly. Often they also have a swimming coach on the pool side to provide set sessions for you, which can help with your technique. A swimming session should consist of a Warm up, Main Set, Contrast Set and Warm Down: Warm up: Gradually warm up your arms and lungs as you increase your pace over some short distances. Main Set: Typically a target distance broken down into shorter distances with short recovery times to help you work on your pace. For example: the target may be 1000 metres, so a simple session would be to swim 10 x 100 metres with one-minute rest between each four lengths (in a 25m pool). This way you can swim faster for the duration of the 100 metres than you would be able to over a straight 1000m swim. Contrast Set: After a main session the contrast set throws in some drills with perhaps some kick or stroke work. Warm down: A reverse of the Warm up, reduce your speed and think about technique. At other times you may go into the pool to complete a long distance swim, for example, to swim one mile non-stop and time yourself. One-mile pool training plan Train for Swim Serpentine using the following sample sets and drill suggestions.

    OCTOBER 10TH, 2021 18 WEEK MARATHON TRAINING PLAN A GREAT COACH A great coach will tell you you’ve got a lot of different runners inside of you. To be the best runner, you’ve got to let them all out. Run on hills, run on a track, do short runs, long runs and everything in-between. A great coach will tell you running shouldn’t hurt, and some days the best run is no run. If your week of runs looks like a playlist with the same song by the same artist 17 times in a row, a great coach will tell you to mix things up, to turn each week into an epic playlist. WE’LL GUIDE YOU THROUGH IT Download and run with the Nike Run Club App and this 18-week Audio Guided Run Marathon Training Program to coach yourself across the finish line.
