This week’s podcast is with Rebecca de Groot who is originally from Launceston, but now lives in Devonport the last 8 years. Bec first started running 13 years ago in the Burnie Ten and was hooked straight away and a new passion was born along with having childhood memories of running in Deloraine. Her sister Gabby and her started the Runphoria blog documenting the things that they wanted to hear about from other runners when first starting, it wasn’t long and this turned into a weekly Wednesday 40-minute group run that is held in Devonport. When Bec is not running she works at Fairbrother as a contract Admin. Her personal best is low 19 minutes for 5km and is gradually improving every year, I loved this conversation and Devonport is so lucky to have such a positive role model and this hour conversation just flew and I can’t wait for our next podcast. Enjoy!

Aaron is originally from Hobart, but now lives in Penguin. He has been running for 24 years, in that time he posted some impressive personal bests over various distances and was the 2020 Run Devonport 5km winner and has had multiple “second places” in all the big Christmas Carnival miles and 800m events.
When Aaron is not running he is a school teacher at Table Cape Primary, over the years he has been heavily involved with school athletics. He took a Latrobe high school girls team to a National Athletics competition ( knockout cup) and was one of the main organisers of a “real” cross country event at the Inter- high last year.
I met Aaron on my first ever state team in 2001, I automatically liked him and we have been good mates ever since. Aaron is a go getter and makes things happen and is a great bloke to boot.
This interview goes for 41 minutes, sit back, relax and grab a coffee and enjoy some banter and all things running.
