Give it up for Claire Franklin, otherwise known to all her running crew as …. Coach Claire Running and the Thursday night run coach for Northern Suburbs Runners Group.
Claire has just achieved her 7th star and Sydney marathon medal at the newly added Sydney Marathon on the weekend.
This award is for runners who complete all seven Abbott World Marathon Majors (Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York, and the new addition to the group of World Marathon’s Sydney)
Claire has now run them all what a champion effort.
Claire is not just a full time runner and coach she also manages to have a full time job , 4 growing sons, donates her time on Thursday nights and Sunday’s to help others with their running goals planning running sessions and catch ups.
Claire has been a FAST 30 client for many years now as a client of mine post two knee surgeries which she has been able to rehabilitate back to full running condition, and is now under the guidance of the wonderful Personal Trainer Brooke Matich who has been lifting the bar on Claire’s strength and conditioning to support her running goals.
Claire knows the benefits of strength training to help reduce injuries and improve her overall fitness to complement her run training and has recommended to many of her running crew the benefits of incorporating strength training into their run programs.
I wanted to use this post to celebrate Claire’s incredible accomplishments and how much she loves to share her passion and knowledge of running to others.
If anyone is interested in joining any of Claire’s run sessions please get in touch . Claire caters for runners of all ages and abilities.
A big well done to you Claire you truly are one amazing strong 💪 runner .
