The 3,000m track race was my first of the two events I competed in at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics and Road Race Championships this year in Timaru. We travelled down on the Thursday morning to allow lots of time to get used to the environment and settle into where I will be staying for the week. I got the chance to get a shake out run in and a few warm up laps on the track to shake the nerves.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 55]: Waikato 3,000m Champion
Yesterday was a key point in my running journey so far for me. I competed in the Waikato secondary schools athletics and was entered in the 3000m race. Usually I avoid running track events as they aren’t my strongest suit as I train off track and more for longer distances, but when it comes to anything under national athletics there isn’t anything else but the 3000m as the longest distance.
