On Tuesday night this week, David McNeill ran an incredible 13:12.8 for 5000m in Perth to became the 3rd Australian male to run the 5000m 2021 Tokyo Olympic Qualifier. It was his first 5000m PB in 9yrs! Dave now has a nervous wait until the July cut off date to see if he is one of the three Australian men selected for the 5000m. If selected it would be his third Olympics and really cap off a memorable running career! In this chat Dave details Tuesday’s race, he shares that he is jetting off to Europe tonight; to run in a Diamond league race in 2 weeks time. He also shares the ups and downs of his career and some of his key learnings. Dave continues to inspire ‘on the track’ with his incredible performances and longevity... and ‘off the track’ as a physio/writer/coach/wise soul and just all round ‘nice guy’. All the best Dave!
