Running Tips From Sydney’s “Most Inclusive” Run Club

Trent and Todd from 440 Run Club tell us their tricks.

Trent Knox and Todd Liubinskas are part of Sydney’s “most inclusive run club”. “The 440 Run Club is a warm and welcoming run club open to all runners, walkers and shufflers. Built by the community, for our community.”
“Our ultimate goal is to get 1,000,000 people moving in a way that feels best to them; walk, shuffle, run…. We just want you to show up for yourself, move, and enjoy some fun along the way. One step at a time.”

We asked Trent and Todd for some tips on getting started, the best running shoes and their favourite post-run snack.

When training for your first running event, “The trick is not to rush it,” Trent says. “The thing when you’re about to start a training block is not overloading your body. If you’re not sure how fast you should be running just run to your breath, or, if you’re running with a friend, run at a talking pace.”

Todd agrees, “Get a buddy that you can run with that you’re accountable to.”
“Someone who’s keen to compete in their first event. Tap into one another. Try and make it fun – come up with 3 or 4 different loops.”
