My Journey Into Vorsprung

My Journey Into Vorsprung And The Mile Race:

This was my first race [AAC Prom Mile Run 2022] with Vorsprung. I’m a, relatively, new member to the group and with only six weeks of training I didn’t know what to expect…

Before Vorsprung, I had started the year strongly with three months of consistent training.

Aberystwyth University was set to compete against Bangor in contention for the varsity title. I had finished my events and the competition was coming to an end: all that remained was the relay. Numbers were short, so I filled-in with poor preparation and tired legs, which resulted in a torn hamstring.

Weeks of not being able to walk and no support from my running coach was a low point.

My recovery was long. It took eight weeks until I was back to, relatively, normal training.

When I was back to my usual training, I decided to run the local Parkrun. There, I saw a few familiar faces. One being Janoš, who went on to run a 15:50s. I was stunned by his performance, so went to congratulate him and then I met 'Coach' Vranek.

I made the decision, that, being a club runner wasn’t going to be enough anymore. I wanted to know what I would be capable of. So, naturally, I joined Vorsprung.

The training, the mindset and the support is on a different playing field. My injury became a thing of the past and my sights are set on the future.

I, now, know I am on the path I was meant to be on.

With regards to the AAC Prom Mile: it went smoothly.

As a team, we went through pre-race preparations militantly and toed the start-line side-by-side. For me, this was my come-back and with the help of Vorsprung it didn’t disappoint. Now I look to the future with 'Coach' Vranek and my team mates in my corner.
