🏃‍♀️ RSR Coaching: July Recap! 🏃‍♂️

​July was an absolute whirlwind of massive PBs, epic trail runs, and extraordinary endurance! **and injuries!
From interstate road races, marathons, half marathons, trails, 300+ miles across the US, our runners left it all out on the course.

​Here is how the RSR community crushed it in July:
​🥇 Gold Coast & Local Road Races
​Gold Coast Marathon: Huge congrats to Hayley for knocking off a massive PB!

​Bibra Lakes (Runningworks):
​12km: Fantastic achievements by the Harvey family!
​Half Marathon: Jacqueline and Matt crushed it (with a huge PB for Matt!), alongside great runs from Chemie and Craig Pilkington (countless HM efforts in a few short weeks)
​Marathon: Shoutouts to friends Craig Heath, Damien, Kevin, and Cait Harvey alongside her brother Sean Harvey!

​Shelley Loop: Brad smashed a huge 10km PB! Fantastic efforts also by Susen and Eric (PB!).

​Broome Marathon & WA Coastal Running Festival: Epic efforts by everyone up north in Broome, plus great running by Evie Christine and Jason coastal-side!

​🔥 The Ultimate Test: Vol-State 314
A special tribute to Louise Wallace for tackling the iconic Vol-State Ultramarathon (LAVS) —a unassisted, 314-mile journey across Tennessee in the scorching July heat.
Battling empty roads, tough terrain, and complete self-reliance, Louise showed the steely will and sheer tenacity that defines true endurance. As the saying goes: "I found in myself something that I never knew was there."
I am in absolute awe of you! 🙌

​🌲 Trail & Pipeline Adventures
​PTS Eagle & Child: Julia had an absolute blast in Blue, Tom leveled up from Blue to Black course (accidentally) and Troy's daughter Bree and David put in stellar efforts!

​Pipeline: A wild day out on the trail for Danny, with the toughest wettest conditions ever at the Goldfields Pipeline Marathon. Sitting in 3rd or 4th pos until 36km, the conditions got the better of him.
No PB, however just finishing was the task. His daughter Ebah also represented in the 10km slip n slide. Well done to Rhea and Grant Wholey for a fantastic event as usual 👏🏽

​From local loops to multi-state ultras, so proud of every single runner who stepped up to a start line last month.

​Together we are better. 💙
