Running has emerged as a leading form of movement in the world of physical activity. Once considered an activity for a select few, running has experienced increased popularity, with a wide range of people jumping on the bandwagon and sharing their journey. We sat down with three passionate runners - Annabelle Ronnfeldt, Caity Viant and Emily Merrin - to ask them some quick-fire running related questions.
Anabelle Ronnfeldt: Honey and banana on crumpets.
Caity Viant: It would have to be dates with crunchy peanut butter.
Emily Merrin: Ok controversial but Killer Pythons. If you know, you know! (And yes, even if it’s 5am).
Anabelle Ronnfeldt: Either down towards South Bank if I'm running in Brisbane or Gold Coast down towards Coolangatta along the beach.
Caity Viant: Probably Newstead out to Toowong.
Emily Merrin: I do really love running the Light House in Byron. It's an absolute hell of a time, not in a good way. But when you get there and it's sunrise, it is just beautiful. So, that's definitely my favourite at the moment.
Anabelle Ronnfeldt: Honestly, whenever I have the motivation.
Caity Viant: Morning 100%.
Emily Merrin: Morning! I definitely have to run in the morning because there's a lot of excuses that come up after 12pm.
Anabelle Ronnfeldt: Music.
Caity Viant: Music only.
Emily Merrin: I usually listen to music, but I like to run with people most of the time. So, I do like to yap.
Anabelle Ronnfeldt: I’m going to say long distance because I'm currently Marathon training.
Caity Viant: I prefer sprinting, but I definitely have to be in the right mood and have the motivation that day.
Emily Merrin: There are so many things that draw me to long distance.
Anabelle Ronnfeldt: Sauna.
Caity Viant: It would have to be boots, sauna, and ice bath. That's probably the best combo!
Emily Merrin: On the floor, feet against the wall or the couch.
Anabelle Ronnfeldt: Forget about pace. Don't get caught up in what everyone else is doing. Just go slow because it'll make it easier in the long run.
Caity Viant: Just have fun and enjoy the journey, and you'll get there in the end.
Emily Merrin: You need to run slow to run fast. And of course, enjoy it!
Anabelle Ronnfeldt: Probably my first Half Marathon last year. I absolutely died but I got it done. So, that one is definitely ingrained in my brain.
Caity Viant: It would have to be my first Half Marathon.
Emily Merrin: Last year I did the Melbourne Marathon, and it was amazing. I cried when I came across the finish line — it was amazing!
