March Madness: The RSR Coaching Recap!
It’s been a whirlwind month for the RSR Coaching community! From the track to the pool and everywhere in between, our athletes have been absolutely crushing it. I've also been a bit quiet on the socials because I've been so busy on the ground, so let’s get caught up...
🏅 Race Day Glory & Milestones
March has seen the RSR colours flying high across a massive variety of events:
1. Chitty Chitty Run Run (PTS): Massive efforts from Frans and Jonathan (Blue course) and Richard (Black course), fresh off a successful XFit Masters campaign.
2. MAWA Whitfords Nodes: Chemie put in the work as he builds toward the epic Delirious 200miler.
3. Every Women's Tri: Shout out to Lauren and Magdeleen—congratulations to Magdeleen on completing her very first sprint distance!
4. Collie Adventure Race: Jason had a blast diving into the world of multi-sport disciplines.
5 & 6.Darlington & Canning River: Great runs from Frans, Paul Danny (prepping for the marathon!), and Lauren. It was also wonderful to catch up with Calico for a post-race coffee!
7. Parkrun: The milestones just keep ticking over—well done to everyone hitting those 25, 50, and 100+ marks! And having fun like Paul Coler in the process
8.At Herdy’s Frontyard Ultra, Hayley showed incredible grit by completing her first-ever Ultra! 🥳 She’s also raising funds for Wolves RC Mental Health initiatives (Lifeline WA).

📣 Big News from the Coach!
You might have noticed I have been a bit busy on Wednesdays lately... and here is why!
I am incredibly honoured to share that I’ve been accepted into the High Performance Coaching Mentoring Program with Australian Athletics. I’ve been paired with one of Australia’s most legendary female marathoners—an Olympian who has given so much to the sport. I am beyond excited for a year of growth and learning to bring even more value back to the RSR team! 📈
Good luck to Magdeleen, Louise Chemie, Ana, Bekka, and Leila at Up All Night this weekend! 🌙
And to those managing niggles and injuries: keep showing up. It will get easier! 🫶🏽
