Hi Brad
Continue to really enjoy all you are doing a strong advocate.
Enjoy Pat Carroll and his ’embrace the suck approach’.
I have a ‘guest challenge’ for you!
Firstly the missing link to me on the marathon front is Derek Clayton – PR 2.08.36 or so (world record for 13 years)! Obviously pre Derek though 2x Olympian and top 20s. Seems to be ageing gracefully and based in Europe. Anyways just a thought.
Separately would love for you to interview Crowie – trained with him back in the day (mid 1990s) @ Balmoral / Centennial Park and when catching him when racing in Kona after a personal 17 years lay off he has not changed a bit. So much good and lessons in his story.
Cheers Roger
Hi Roger,
Thanks very much for your guest challenge-noted and accepted!
Agree Derek and Crowie would be great guests!
Thanks for your support.
Regards Brad Beer
