Client Spotlight - Mitch Blundell
Mitch is a return customer from last year’s Sunshine Coast 70.3, Melbourne Marathon and has come back because he has been having trouble with some persistent niggles over the last couple of months. After some trial and error with a few different methods, we found all Mitch needed was to narrow his training style and adjustments to his volume suit his needs better.
Since Mitch has been pin point accurate hitting his miles and not missing a session and is as fit and fast as ever and most importantly doing it all PAIN FREE!
Most recently, Mitch ran a 21:00 5km Park run without any Threshold or speed training. Pretty impressive if you ask me.
Here’s what Mitch has to say about his training:
“After a massive year; Olympic tri, road marathon, trail ultra and a half-Ironman. I thought I could just keep pushing at the same intensity. My mind was still in ‘peak season’ mode, but my body wasn’t. Having a coach who could give me a reality check and see what I couldn’t was crucial. I had to swallow my pride, strip everything back and start from 4 km a week, adding only 10% at a time. It was the reset I didn’t know I needed.”
If you’re trying to get into running and its not quite working out, drop me a message. A personalized program like mitches takes into consideration your needs and requirements, no cookie cutter programs, just a program to suit YOU!
