This year at Dolphins Health Precinct you can train with champions Lisa MacLean and Marc Vann, both acclaimed athletes, in preparation for this year’s Jetty2Jetty fun run.
Both trainers are giving their expertise to those who enrol in this year’s 10-week lead-up program. The program promises to have participants motivated, race prepared and in the best shape possible for this year’s event.
All participants will attend 10 weekly training sessions, receive running tips along with mentoring by trainers on race strategy and hydration. The program will also include race enrolment.
Asked about this year’s program Marc said: “Our goal is to help gym members complete their first J2J event and help others improve their times. “Last year all members who participated in the program competed in the event on the day, all had fun and obtained a real sense of achievement and many personal bests were set. This year, with the assistance of Lisa, we are definitely going to kick some goals. “The greatest pleasure I get from this program is to watch people change their mindset and gain self-confidence when they realise that they can do this.”
Marc said that since the event many of last year’s running group had become close friends and joined the triathlon group Marc runs at Dolphins Health Precinct. So far this year they have participated in the Bribie Triathlons series with three of the women gaining series trophies.
Since last year’s J2J, Marc competed in the Gold Coast 100km cycle, Bryon Bay 1km ocean swim Tangalooma 2.4km ocean swim and managed to win all four Bribie triathlon events, taking out the series undefeated.
Lisa, an award-winning swim coach, national and state swimmer and triathlete, has been involved in swimming all her life and now completes in triathlons and long ocean swims. Lisa is a dedicated swim coach and a formidable competitor. She can and will motivate all from her youngest non-swimmer to a non-runner.
