Last week I had a relaxed candid chat to the super chilled; Rose Davies! At just 21 years of age Rose recently ran the 7th fastest time ever (31:39) by an Australian to become the 2021 woman’s Zatopek 10,000m champion! I made it my mission to find out a little bit more about Rose, be it: how she almost quit the sport-when she plateaued in her mid teenage years and her advice to the current crop of young up and coming athletes that are going through similar times. How she wasn’t always calm and relaxed about running and how her mindset has shifted in recent years. Her recent success? What running is like in Newcastle? The biggest inspirations and role models of her career? How she scored a New Balance sponsorship? What does she do outside of running? What she sees as her best event? Her favourite training sessions? Her goals for this year and beyond? And, of course plenty more! Be sure to follow/support and get behind Rose Davies. This legend can already be so proud of what she’s achieved, although I get an inkling that she’s only just getting started!
