James’ passion for running re-ignited in 2019

after completing his first Melbourne marathon.  This started a journey of learning and striving to be better. As a Run2PB athlete himself, James went from 4:13 to 2:48 over the marathon and fully understands the journey. Running is now an enjoyable part of the daily ritual.

 

James is a regular member of the Diamond Valley Athletics Club XCR team competing over the winter season and loves racing!

He also believes there is something special about running in a team!
 

During the day, James is a physiotherapist and owner/CEO of PhysioLife Australia with over 14 yrs experience treating Athletes of all levels from elite to weekend warrior. He loves to incorporate personalised, targeted strengthening into the weekly program to keep runners at their best.

He has a passion for helping athletes return to their best, especially those with achequered injury history.

 

All while enjoying being a father and contemplating racing
