Adam McCann athletic coaching

I hope you all had a merry Christmas. We're going down to Wattle Park at 9am tomorrow if anyone is interested in joining us for a hill session.

For those that are interested, I'm running a hills session at Wattle Park tomorrow morning at 10am. It'd be great to see some of you there.

As you know, I wonder down tonight as I'm at Lakeside. Therefore, the session for tonight is 4x120 and 4x80 all at 100% with a walk recovery. The 80s should start at the 150 mark and finish at the 70, concentrating on slingshotting off the bend and hugging the inside of the lane.

Also, if you want to enter state relays please let me know on Saturday, which events and relays. Entries close in a week so need to get teams sorted.

So proud of Liam Kernick running a huge pb in a tough environment. A great effort, under the previous Australian record. He'll be sure to run bigger and better in the years ahead. Adam McCann

Samuel Allen Is FAST⚡️

With a blistering 11.80 (+1.3) in the Men’s 100m T37 heats, the Queenslander has obliterated Darren Thrupp’s 23-year-old Australian record of 12.23 from 2002. 💥

Liam Kernick also notched a PB of 12.09, a mark that too is under the previous record.

Unfortunately the duo will not progress to the final but are certainly names to watch. 🤩

Congratulations to Liam Kernick on being selected to represent Australia at the Para World Champs in Dehli in Sep/Oct. Very well deserved after all the effort put in over the years. Looking forward to seeing you run in the 100 and 200 over there. Adam McCann

Back to the track tomorrow! Our Wattle Park training is finished for another year, so we're back to track sessions from 5.30 to 7. Hope to see a lot of you there.

Congratulations to Zoe on an amazing National Championships, winning gold in the 800 and 1500 (in a national record time), silver in the 400 (with a huge pb), bronze in the 200 and 4th in the 100. Also, well done to Liam who was 4th in the long jump, but was injured and couldn't complete his program of events.

A reminder that from this week, we are training at Wattle Park from 5pm for the next little while. We'll be doing hill work and for those that have completed their break, we'd welcome you back. For the others, I hope you're having an active break and we'll see you soon.
