Phuket Rejoov Retreat

June 07, 2016/ Greta Truscott

28 of us flew out on Sat 28th May mostly from Sydney (a couple from Dubai) bound for Thanyapura Sports resort in Phuket. This resort was setup to be a hub for budding, amateur and professional athletes alike and it really caters for all levels. You will get a sense below of what facilities are offered but essentially it has everything you need to train, recover and eat well. It also offers very comfortable accommodation surrounding a nice pool with swim up bar.

Here's Chris Truscott's blog about the fantastic trip: http://runnerct.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/thanyapura-training-thailand.html

Above is a collage of our hardest track session of the Rejoov Retreat in Phuket - day 4 of 9. Everyone enjoyed the runs, nutrition talks, yoga, Pilates, swims, zumba, elephant rides, scuba diving, baby tiger cuddling, Thai cooking and much more.

See below for an amazing video of our rejoovers having so much fun scuba diving and snorkelling and catching a quick boat to the dive site woo!

Interview with Maya Borthwick

October 27, 2015/ Greta Truscott

I was very excited about my PB in the City to Surf of 55.31 and also my PB in the Melbourne half marathon of 86.42. I qualified for a preferred entry in the Melbourne and it was a surreal and pretty intimidating experience to be lining up with Olympians like Eloise Wellings and Lisa Weightman. I've never been so nervous in my life.

Interview with Adam Ballesty

October 21, 2015/ Greta Truscott

Adam / ABs!: I used to race 400m and did loads of beach sprinting, retired at 29. Made a comeback with the guidance and help from my now good mate Jock Campbell. He met me and I was really out of condition so I think I was a passion project for him. Then when I achieved some unfinished business on the beach in March 2012 … where my race was over 15 metres… within 6 months I had run my first marathon. A huge turn around and change.
