Welcome to our newest Patreon series! These ‘Runner in Residence’ series will follow along an athlete for a period of time and opens us up to athletes regardless of whether they have a key race or not. Our first athlete who we’ll be following along for the next month or so at least is one of Australia’s top trail runners in Lucy Bartholomew.
Lucy is a professional trail runner for Salomon and has been so for over ten years and trying to describe all her race results over that time is impossible in a few short sentences (hence why it'll be great to have her for a series!). Enjoy this first episode unpacking Lucy’s year so far, including her three road marathons, and what training she is planning for her upcoming races. We’re very excited and lucky to have Lucy on board!
