And I think we got gold in the men's marathon? Where were the Kenyans?


Posted (edited)

No excuses for Jack Trengove not to be the fittest player in the AFL.

(What someone had to say it).

I think we are all hoping his past 2 ordinary seasons have been because of an undiagnosed foot problem thats now hopefully fixed. If he can get back to the player he was and was promising to be in 2011, it will be a huge boost for us

and well done Jess

In second place, but possibly the Comm games doesn't mean much for them. Not when they have Olympic, World Champ and fame/money on the line in winning some of the worlds more lucrative marathons.

My (limited) understanding on marathons is you can only run so many per 6 months/year as they take such a toll. A bit like horse racing you really have to set yourself for particular races as grand finals.

Which is probably why Trengove did such a good job as she had a foot injury and did really well at the last world champs. She wasn't far behind the female Kenyans so lets hope she can bridge the gap and maybe do something amazing in Rio.

Go you good thing! Fantastic effort Jess. Running beautifully right to the end and finishing with a PB! Not to mention a Bronze medal.

And congrats also to Micheal Shelley for winning Gold in the men's marathon.

Great day for Australian marathon runners.

I'm worried about her acceleration.

I'm sure she used to run so much faster in years gone by.

Great effort Jess and agree with one of the previous posters a bit of the old East German breeding method wouldn't go amiss, another Viney under the FS coming from good stock

I think over the course of 42 km she can probably make it to top speed somewhere along the way.

Just saw the footage of her reaction after the win. Fantastic Stuff. Well deserved.

Hopefully her brother watching on gained a little inspiration.

Can we claim jess's victory as our own, because of Jack? Its weird how I have feelings of pride, like we won something...lol... Congrats to the Trengove's!!

There's already been cheap shots at Jack here about his running...smh... Jeez... I'm sure there will be more, but really give it a rest... Jack has been playing with stress fractures in his foot for almost two years... The club should have this picked up earlier, they are at fault here... Not Jack... Its half arsed development and half arsed rehab, down at our club... Lol..

Fantastic news - well done Jess. I aspired to complete a marathon but only ever finished a half. Had foot surgery three years ago and advised never to run again. Must be a Melbourne thing!

Sorry to hear about your foot Jane. Old age stopped my running career but I have found a great substitute in cycling( leisurely pace of course). Give it a go if you already haven't done so. Go Demons!!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
