Training pays off for RWFL athletes

THE weather was brilliant, allowing the Run Walk For Life (RWFL) athletes time to get in some proper training without interruption of heavy rain or thunder.
The Saturday morning run was a slow one but the athletes were enjoying it tremendously. Members of other sporting bodies are welcome to join us on Saturdays as you need fitness to compete in any sport.
At Sunday’s PDAC 25km a person could see proper training really pays off. The athletes of RWFL did their best times this year and we had two novices who did the 25km road race for the first time and completing the route within the normal cut-off time. Rene Tupper (runner) and Antoinette Russouw (walker), we at RWFL are proud of you.
