Mizuno Injury Prevention Seminar (April 13)
The Ship Inn - 7.30pm (Friday night)

There will be drinks on the upper level deck from 6.30pm.

Steve Manning (podiatrist) will be providing you with some valuable tips on injury prevention and he will also share with you his vast knowledge on running shoes.

Running can be one of the most rewarding sports and achieving your goal can be an amazing experience. The downside about being involved in running is the fact it can place your body under a great deal of stress. A high workload will improve the size of your motor however if you are not careful a major injury can strike, placing your Gold Coast goal on hold. You can however implement preventative measures. 

If you wish to have an uninterrupted Gold Coast 2007 campaign you simply cannot afford to miss this talk.

River City Cycles Nutrition Seminar (May 4)
The Ship Inn - 7.30pm (Friday night)

There will be drinks on the upper level deck from 6.30pm.

Correct nutrition is essential if you are to achieve your goal on July 1. One of Brisbane’s leading dieticians, Greg Shaw, will be providing you with vital information relating to your dietary intake.

Your diet not only supplies fuel for your workouts, it also aids in the recovery process. Greg will be talking about what your daily diet should consist of as well as what you should be consuming before and immediately after you run. Greg will also focus on your race day diet, this being your intake before and during your event. 

Greg comes highly qualified. He is currently advising the Brisbane Lions as well as numerous other clients. You can find out more about Greg here.  

Following is an extract from the Queensland Sports Medicine Centre web site:

Greg completed his degree in Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition and Dietetics) at QUT, in 1999. Greg is currently providing services to the Brisbane Lions AFC, Qld Reds rugby union team, Australian and QAS Swimming and QAS rowing as well as a growing private practice. In addition to the nutritional expertise Greg brings to the practice, his experience as an internationally ranked swimmer and Australian team member for 5 years gives him practical experience applying advanced nutritional principles to sport. He specialises in weight loss, sports nutrition, diabetes, and nutrition for a corporate lifestyle.

Sydney Half Marathon (May 20) optional

The smh half marathon falls 6 weeks prior to Gold Coast. This is perfect timing for anyone looking for a Half Marathon tune up prior to July 1.

I have won this event twice and still hold the course record (61.11) which is also the current Australian all comers Half Marathon record.

I will be mc'ing the event this year and perhaps I will be calling out your name as you cross the line.

The race closes once 5000 people have entered and this usually takes place in early April. With this in mind I strongly recommend you enter ASAP to guarantee your entry. Once 5000 people have entered no further entries will be accepted.

PCRG members are asked to organise their own entry/travel and accommodation.

The Sheraton on the Park has been nominated as the preferred PCRG accommodation venue (certainly not compulsory though). There will be a group dinner Saturday evening - May 19 (venue tba).

The following list contains names of PCRG members who intend running the 2007 smh half marathon:

Please contact me via email (or see me @ training) if you would like to be added to above list.   

Here is a brief article I wrote about the smh half marathon.

Gold Coast Rehearsal (June 9/10) optional

The two major contributing factors which can turn a  faultless preparation into a disastrous race day are high anxiety levels and a dramatic change in one's diet before and during an event.
