A. I am 32 years old, a husband, dad and a friend to many. I work for Gauteng Department of Finance as Content Liaison Specialist which deals mainly with conducting training interventions, developing manuals and presentations. I just completed a 2 year management course with Durban University of Technology and am busy doing a National Diploma in Public Relations Management through UNISA.
A. It’s easy for me as my work has a gym within the building allowing me to conveniently access it through my lunch breaks daily, so because I gym during my lunch breaks it doesn't affect my time with my family or friends. Whenever I enter races or marathon’s it is always communicated well in advance to my family which makes it easy to accommodate.
A. I started running a year ago. My first running event was the “Nike We Run Jozi” race which took place at night. It was a 10km race and I never really did running before that. Needless to say that I rested during the race compared to now where I can run a 10km without resting. Ever since then I fell inlove with running and it has been my choice of fitness ever since.
A. I love the freedom one feels when you out on the road or even on the treadmill. It’s a time for me to clear my mind and regain my focus.
A. I hate that I don’t belong to a running club yet. LOL. But that is going to change in the new year.
A. Running is not only a solo sport, although sometimes we run alone, but it is a sport where people from all walks of life can come together and engage in a common goal and that is to see themselves doing something that liberates the soul.
A. I think that it is because of the lack of interest in sports and exercise that our youth are ending up in the substance abuse traps. More initiatives should be put into place especially where there is a serious lack or need for recreational programmes.
A. The 5km Colour Run. It was fun, I had friends and loved ones with me and I could just be myself.
A. My worst running experience was the Gauteng Marathon, I ran the entire route with a painful cramp.
