In this episode of the podcast Josh Harris shares his running journey from a promising primary school kid to representing Australia! As a 10/11 year old Josh found that not only did he love running he was actually pretty good at it. At 32 he still loves running and chasing PB’s, although while he’s recovering from an injury he’s also found he’s pretty good at Zwift bike riding!
On top of running and Zwift training, Josh is also a relief teacher for a number of local schools. He finds the part-time nature of relief teaching a perfect compliment to his athletic endeavours - it gives him time to teach and time to train.
On top of representing Australia in running multiple times (including the World Championship Marathon), Josh also has a university degree in Exercise Science and Teaching. He uses all of this experience and knowledge as a run coach at https://www.run2pb.co/ …
Josh’s Tips - Find YOUR enjoyment in running, if you’re a beginner don’t run to hard (find your conversational/low heart rate pace), running is very enjoyable when you’re in control and taking it easy, putting time in at a low intensity is what will get you fit.
