Today I chat to David McNeill, 1 week after winning the 2019 Mens Open Australian 10km XC championships in Wollongong! The win bookmarks another great comeback from injury for the dual Olympian. Today, David was incredibly generous with his time, the chat goes for just on an hour. We discuss a range of topics, including; the injury he has come back from, how he has done it, his new wholistic approach to training, his goals for 2020. He even divulges his favourite coffee retreats in Melbourne and Portland, bring the coffee connoisseur he is. David was 16th at the Rio Olympics and has a 5k PB of 13:18 and 10km PB of 27:45. This aside, he is such a humble champion and friendly soul. He is in his final yr of his physiotherapy degree and is incredibly knowledgeable as you will soon finds out about all things sports medicine! He is quite the philosophical thinker and there are just so many ‘pearls of wisdom’ in this interview! So, I encourage as many runners as possible to listen to this one!
