Three days into our goal announcement plan, we have already had a first member tick off their extraordinary feat.
Young Member Andre De Mestre set himself the daunting (but obviously achievable task) of completing the 5km Lane Cove Park Run in under 20 mins.
For the average punter, that is equal to running 15kmph on the treadmill nonstop for 20 mins!
Following advice from his trainer Damian, and spurred on by missing the mark by a matter of seconds last week, we are pleased to announce that Andre completed the 5km course in 19mins 49seconds or sub 4-minute km.
Unfortunately, Andre was going so fast that we didn’t get a chance to get a photo of him, the photos attached show his time for the run and his split pacing.
Andre isn’t one to rest on one and done – we can confidentially report that Andre has already replaced his finished goal slip – with a new one, stating that his next goal is to break the 19min 30sec barrier for 5km.
Trainer Damain has aspirations of Andre finishing Top 3 in the park run, and based on these times and results we know it’s only a matter of time.
Well done Andre on being the first to Dream it, Write it and then do it!
