 The
human body is made up largely of water. Water is lost from the body
through normal bodily functions such as breathing, and perspiration.
When exercise is added to daily activities the rate of water loss is
greatly increased.
Regular intake of water while exercising
is fundamental to your body achieving optimum performance. To find

 Samantha
Flanders is 38 years old, lives in Palmyra, and is no stranger to
running! Samantha recently won the inaugural Run for a Reason, an
event she was using as part of her preperation for the Chevron
Marathon.
Samantha, originally from Melbourne, is a former
Ironman Triathlete. Samantha has shifted her focus to running and
has taken part in a number of Marathon events around Australia over
the last few years. Her personal best of 3:03 set at Melbourne in
2006 is a time that would have Samantha finish right up there with
the very best female athletes in this year’s Chevron
Marathon.
Samantha has completed the 12km course at the City
to Surf on 3 separate occasions, and in 2006 finished 5th overall in
a PB of 46:59. In 2010 she is determined to set a PB on the 42.2km
course. Now well into her training program Samantha hopes to break
the 3 hour mark for the first time.
“I’m really excited about
taking part in my first City to Surf Marathon! I’m hoping to have a
good run that produces a PB, and if that happens to put me among the
top female finishers then fantastic”!
We wish Samantha the
best of luck come Sunday August 29! To read more please CLICK
