City2Surf: The Inside Running

ByJarrat Wood

With a lot of my clients currently preparing for the City2Surf I thought it would be pertinent to pass on some of my advice as a former distance runner turned sprinter on some of the do’s and don’ts of the world’s most popular fun run.

I first competed in the City2Surf when I was 16. I was fortunate to enough to be sponsored by the Department of Sport and Recreation and it was quite the adventure travelling to Sydney for the first time by plane from Gunnedah.

That year I made a lot of mistakes but still managed a great time of 51mins 15secs especially when I enjoyed the luxury of a preferred start position. The race record is 40mins 3secs set by Steve Moneghetti in 1991 (see picture above). Since then I have run the race a further 5-6 times with all times under 60mins. I think running under 60mins from the back of the pack is harder than 51min from the preferred start line! It’s not easy running on the gutter for 14km to avoid the crowds and prams. That said, if you know a few tricks you can save yourself a lot of time and energy. Here is my breakdown of how to run a strong City2Surf time:

An Accidental Runner

ByJarrat Wood
As with most life-changing events I have experienced, running happened to me by accident. And, despite my physio, Amanda’s, inspiring assertion that I am a “natural runner”, anyone who has known me for any length of time, including myself, remain shocked that I have started, let alone persisted, with this activity. The main reason being that a key feature of my personality is a complete absence of any intrinsic motivation to engage in physical exercise merely for the sake of it (Sometimes mistakenly referred to, by the ill-informed, as laziness). The other reason is that I have a chronic mental illness, punctuated by episodes of depression. 
 
I can easily explain having overcome the first impediment – the personality problem, as resulting from a combination of three main factors.
