Pro:Direct Running Club: Berlin Sub-3 Project
The sub 3 marathon, a prestigious barrier for many ambitious recreational runners. Pro Direct running Club is all about providing unique opportunities to members and some truly once in a lifetime experiences. That’s why for this years 50th running of the Berlin marathon, in collaboration with Purdue Performance and adidas, four sub 3 PDRC hopefuls have won the chance to get after it on those hallowed streets and work together with one common goal!
Coached by Adam Clarke, adidas athlete, head of Purdue Performance and 2:15 marathon man, our runners have been in good hands ahead of race day.
Let's meet the runners, shall we?
Archie Challen
A man in hot pursuit of PBs since starting running 8 years ago, Archie brings quiet confidence to the table, backed up by smashing some serious sessions in the build up to Berlin. The stakes are high as a race day bet with his brother will result in one of the Challen’s getting a rather dubious tattoo.
Arwel Roberts
Used to the rolling hills of the Welsh valleys, Arwel won’t know what’s hit him with just 73m elevation in TOTAL over the entirety of Berlin Marathon. With training going without a hitch, Arwel is a dark horse to go well under 3 come race day.
Henrietta Collins
Cool, calm and collected. Henrietta juggles her training with a busy professional career (sometimes seen in the depths of a conference call mid session). With some solid weeks banked under the watchful eye of Coach Clarkey, Henrietta will be on that start line brimming with confidence.
Laura Donnelly
Definitely not a brick layer and definitely not called Derek. School teacher Laura is no stranger to the marathon with an impressive 3:02 PB. Full speed ahead to find those 3 extra minutes come race day!
With incredible events from flat, fast road races to the most rugged of ultra marathons on the horizon, there’s never been a better time to sign up to PDRC and reap the rewards of being a member. Hit the link and get involved!
