For those of you who have stumbled across this page, hi. I am Marc See, a 22 year old middle distance runner from Perth, Western Australia.
When not training, I work part time as a Physiotherapist at The Running Centre in West Perth - WA's leading running specialist store and health services provider. I have been coached by Sarah Jamieson since mid 2011 and for the 8 years before that I owe my development as an athlete to Margaret Saunders.
Yes, I am a runner. And to many people in my local suburb of Morley - that is an oddity. Running those streets for the past 15 years (any time from 5am to midnight) has raised many eyebrows as well as voices. I have been competing at a national level since 2002 - in cross country and track events. And am currently focusing on the 1500m race distance, an event I have claimed the last 4 WA state titles for (my current personal best stands at 3:44.16).
In my work as a physio I have the great fortune of working with runners each day - whether to help heal or prevent injuries or to improve their running performance. People varying from walking and running to lose weight, to professional athletes competing all over the world. Work hours pass seemlessly when the subject is something you are passionate about.
As 2012 starts I am entering into the competition phase of the year. With the majority of the hard races being over east, it means flying back and forth across the country at least once a month. The Olympic trails in early March is something I have targeted, to get into that race with all the guys racing hard and to see how I fare. I'm not at the point yet to seriously contend for a spot in the Australian team but with each experience and each test I learn a little more about myself, my limits and what it takes to expand them.
Well, I think that is enough of an into. Thank you for taking the time to read & I wish you well in whatever ventures you tackle yourself.
Gotta run
:-) Marc
Hi Marc,
ReplyDeleteYou didn’t sell yourself properly!
He’s a great guy who can help ANYONE, no matter your current skills, to get better at this thing of running.
I’m the Venezuelan girl you helped last year to run the C2S marathon.
I’ve moved now to Adelaide, but thanks to your help last year I’ve continued running and this weekend I’ll be running my second half marathon, free of injury!. All the exercises and comments from you have kept me running happily since August last year.
Best of luck to you next season, as I read this year has already finished.
One of the things I miss from Perth is The Running Centre. Haven’t been to a place like that here yet.
Cheers to all of you in the store.
Keep running :)
Maria
