Brad takes a recovery week post Sydney:10, focuses on strength and then survives through a staple long run with Team Telford in Stromlo.

We’re very fortunate to have Virginia Moloney catch up with Brady and give an honest account of everything that happened from the selection process to crossing the Commonwealth Games marathon finish line.

Virginia talks about waiting for the call, finding form within Zatopek:10 and her training over the summer and how life priorities affected her race schedule.

She then opens up about the injury that lead to a tense and stressful lead up to the race of her life, what she and her team did to accelerate recovery in such a short-turnaround, all the while committing to race for Australia.

Virginia recounts race week and settling in the Comm Games Village, her headspace on race morning and how the race unfolded, dealing with the infamous heat as well as managing her body to make the distance.

The chat closes as she reviews her performance and how she looks forward on the path to a full recovery.
