Marathon Legend Steve Moneghetti

A podcast to help you Train Smarter and Race Faster. Hosted by expert Triathlon coach, Australian Ironman Champion and 15 x Aus Age group Champion Gerard Donnelly, and his son, multiple Triathlon + Cycling Aus Age Group Champion Jordy Donnelly.

This week we got to sit down with one of Australia’s greatest runners, Steve Moneghetti.

He is a 4x Olympian with a best place of 5th, a gold, silver and 2x bronze medalist at the commonwealth games, a best place of 3rd at the marathon world championships, a marathon PB of 2:08:16 and his iconic City2Surf course record still stands 29 years later!

The stories, lessons and training philosophies that Steve has are remarkable to say the least.

We spent every second of this hour long podcast soaking up every bit of information we could.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
