Running2London athlete James Nipperess has won his first NSW open cross country title in kicking away from training partner, and fellow Running2London athlete, Jeff Hunt. Jeff made his attempt to kick away up the final climb, but James' counter-attack was better as he opened up those all important metres needed to finish in front.

Tomorrow afternoon, 17th July, Running2London athletes James Nipperess and Jeff Hunt will go head-to-head at the 2010 NSW short course cross country championships. It will be youth versus experience when James and Jeff battle it out in pursuit of the gold medal.

Perhaps the most underrated component of a distance athlete’s regime is the recovery process.  This entails so many different aspects which need to be addressed on a daily basis. Not only is it important to train hard to maximise potential and achieve your goals, but in order to do so, it’s essential to recover from the hard days with easy or easier days.

Saturday was a busy day for Running2London athletes. In Wollongong, Jeff Hunt, James Nipperess and Emma Rilen all competed for their clubs at the annual NSW road relays, while Bridey Delaney competed overseas at the KBC Night of Athletics in Belgium.
