    Tamati has been busy training (Ben for weekends and Andrew for events). Ben was reminded Tamati recently that late last year he would struggle to run more than 3 kms, now he's quite comfortable running 10km. On weekend training runs, the route involves going around the North Shore (Glenfield and surrounds) and involves quite a few hills - Ben likes pushing Tamati up hills!

    Recently Tamati undertook the 10km at the Wellington marathon and set his Personal Best thanks to the guiding efforts of Andrew and Elliott. The next challenge is the Taupo half marathon (1st August), following this the half for Achilles Coach/Manager Kiri Price at the Lydiad Marathon in West Auckland on 12th September, before he embarks and takes on New York with his guide Ben.

    Yesterday as part of the Achilles entourage, Tamati ran the 10km 'Snapper' race at Round the Bays Wellington. His guide for the race was Andrew Sains - another of Tamati's regular guides. He ran in 1 hour 12 mins - having become one of Tamati's main supporters, it's awesome to see him doing so well and really get into his running....first step on the road to New York marathon
