Tales from the Valley Podcast ft. Sharon Sutherland
Manage episode 438878638 series 3554445
Sam and Katie speak with Sharon Sutherland, a 2016 Bravehearts 777 participant and key organizer for the Kiama Running Club. One of Sharon’s most impressive accomplishments was participating in the Bravehearts 777 event, which required $10,000 in fundraising for the leading child protection foundation and involved running a half marathon each day for 7 days in 7 different states. The travel and physical demands were daunting, even just to listen to. Sharon has also run a handful of World Majors and talks about the remaining ones she intends to complete.
Sharon’s work in formalizing the Kiama Running Club has been successful, with just under 1,000 Facebook members and upwards of 50 participants in community runs, including Wednesday Hill Reps at Kiama, Saturday 5km from Kiama Surf Club, and a Long Run option at Shellharbour Surf Club on Sunday.
Katie runs 48km this week, picks up a new gig mowing lawns, and is staying very active while building up her kilometers nicely. Sharon eases back into training in anticipation of the RunShellharbour 10k and either the Noosa or Tokyo Marathon early next year. Sam gets back to the gym, complains about the heat during his tempo run, but still manages to put together another 100km week. We all share our experiences with niggles during our typical training weeks.
