A previous Junior World Marathon Champ, Brandon finished 5th last year in a race which his brother Grant lead the field home. With Grant now racing with the seniors, Brandon has dedicated himself to achieving a podium finish this year. My bet is that he should aim for the top step.
Having made several very wise changes to his training program, Brandon has done a significant portion of his training on his own this time around. And having shed a whopping 9kg he really is looking fast and mean. No longer can his friends and training partners call him by the nickname "Stomach"- it quite simply is gone! Amazing what a few small changes to training and diet can make.
Having started working with Brandon in January 2012, the changes in his body are marked over the last few months, and the speed readings on the GPS are going in the right direction with every week closer to race day.
All the best "Stomach", I know you will be racing with someone special in mind this year. Whatever the result, he will be watching you train and race with pride.
All you have to do is go 'faster than everyone, for longer than everyone'.
I look forward to reading the results.
