Ed Goddard did not let go of the dream of representing Australia at a Major Championship and running one of the fastest marathons by an Australian, when he suffered a fracture of his calcaneus at the beginning of the year. He set out and made it a priority of surrounding himself with a great support team of friends and health professionals that would enable him to maintain a high level of fitness through cross training and rehabilitation that enabled him to return to running at a high level as fast as possible. Ed spontaneously travelled back to race the Cross Country for IONA College (New York) after a marathon specific session showed very good signs of strength and fitness. That sense of fitness proved true when he qualified in Boston for the Nationals in Florida over the 10k distance. Ed flew back home after his brief 2 week race/taper period that prepared him for his debut marathon. Ed went on to run one of the fastest marathons on debut by an Australian on Australian soil  Follow EdYoutube.com/channel/UCRSneKwrZG6lV2F6ql_R9mgStrava.com/athletes/26943045Instagram.com/edgoddard3k/ Greatly appreciate your support for the podcast on Patreon -www.patreon.com/therunningguypodcast The Running Guy Podcast Singlet -www.therunningguypodcastsinglet The Running Guy Coaching Website - therunningguy.com.au Instagram - Instagram.com/therunningguypodcast Facebook - therunningguypodcast Join The Running Guy Podcast Strava Club -  therunningguypodcast YouTube Channel youtube.com/channel/UCAvM0q11KzHkLBoL0LX_9lw Opening music - Artist: Soundroll Song: Lost in LoveClosing music -  Artist: Dan Henig Song: Wood DanHenig.com Hey guy's if you are enjoying listening to the show and would like to make a small donation of support then follow this PayPal link https://paypal.me/astonduncan?locale.x=en_AU
