TFTV ft. Marc Bergmeier

Sam and Katie chat with Marc Bergmeier. Marc grew up in Wagga and played AFL during his junior years but gravitated toward running a few years after finishing high school. He works on the farm back in Wagga intermittently, but when he doesn't, he lives in Wollongong. This year, he has been training with Liam Mahoney and Brendan Smith, and all three of them reached their lofty goal of running sub-3 hour marathons. Although Marc didn’t have the best day at the Gold Coast earlier this year, he made up for it in a big way by running 2:54 at Sydney, taking the pressure off and just running to feel.

Katie logged 95 km of mileage this week, although she had a tough long run at the end of last week. Sam is battling through the flu but manages to maintain his routine of two sessions and a long run. Marc is starting to recover post-Sydney Marathon and is ready to inject some intensity back into his training program now.
