This week we proudly present Australian Olympic and Commonwealth Games marathon runner, Kate Smyth. Discovering her passion for distance running late in her 20s, Kate wasted little time and was soon competing with the world's best on the sport’s biggest stages, culminating in a personal best of 2:28:51 at the 2008 Nagano Olympic Commemorative Marathon. Kate takes us deep into her world and mindset of marathon running – the commitment and sacrifices, the focus and preparation, the family support, the extraordinary challenges of both mind and body to compete against the field, the clock, the conditions and herself.
You can find out more about Kate and her business here at The Athlete Sanctuary.
