About
"My Journey to 142 Marathons" There are not many people who have done 100 of anything......Lara shares with you in intricate detail from her "True Excerpts Journal to (142+) marathons"( where every race she has ever run has been recorded in journals and spreadsheeted ! ), the "life lessons" she has garnished from her experience in the world of long distance running for the past 40 years. It makes for the content of "a very different speaker", and with the popularity that running has recently undergone in the community of South Africa, it will keep your audience entertained and riveted with the unique stories and anecdotes, and perhaps even inspire them to start running who knows ?! You may also catch Lara's blog on social media every Friday on this specific topic called "True Excerpts from my Journal to (142 and still counting) Marathons- “The Kilometer 70 method”".
