Episode Two of Why i Run's Running Stories is a road runners delight. Recently I had the pleasure of joining Corrina Black, one of Australia’s best ultra distance road runners for a jog on the southern end of the Gold Coast. I have followed Corrina’s performances over the past few years and have been fascinated by her results and really wanted to get to know more about her running background and the characteristics that make her tick. What I discovered on our run was Corrina is a gifted athlete but her greatest weapon is her strength of mind and her determination to succeed. On a grey and rainy day, we ran together and Corrina talked to me about her love for the weekly long run, how she began running and her usual old fashioned run timer before garmin watches became popular, how she stumbled into race success very early, her unique thought process about how to run longer races and the impact running has on her as a mother and her family. Corrina tells us about her journey to the World Championships for road running and her hopes for her future racing and training.Corrina is truly an inspiring runner and the manner in which she talks about running is infectious and fascinating. So download this episode, hit the road and join one of Australia’s premiere road runners as she talks us through her running life.
