25.01.2022 Special thanks to Brooks Running for renewing there Sponsorship with The Peak Performance Track Club. We are forever grateful for your on going support and commitment in supplying PPTC with some of the very best footwear advalible. For me there are a lot of personal reasons why having Brooks as a sponser is so important. One is that Brooks have supported me since I was in my teens and to have this endorsement to be carried on to my athletes who are mostly State and National medalist's is a real privilege that is never ever taken lightly. Thank you.

25.01.2022 New Peak Performance Athlete Kyra,placed 3rd in the Junior Hamilton Island 350m Ocean Swim. This is a very strong achievement as Kyra was by far the youngest in her age group. Kyra is very committed to me as her coach loves her training and brings a lot of enthusiasm to group training sessions. With role models like Elli,Shaniece and Liz,Kyra is in a very welcoming,friendly training environment Well Done. - Very Impressive. .

25.01.2022 Another one of The Peak Performance squad who always competes well above of whats excepted of him. Thomas again shows why he is the dominate Triathlete in Intermediate boys age group at the Peninsula Triathlon Champs. Thomas placed 1st in his age group and has really stepped up. We still have a bit of work to do and change his tactics a bit. But with a bit of leadership,I believe we can still improve on a few things. Along with Chloe and Nat, Thomas is off to States next y...ear. Well done. Thanks to Brooks Running

24.01.2022 Well done to Jade who just keeps improving. As his coach and friend,Jade does what is expected of him and is starting to get some of the rewards that you get when you are so consistant with your training. What a tuff run. Jade - Well done.

24.01.2022 My thoughts exactly!

24.01.2022 Outstanding results by Jade Bidgood who placed 13th in the Open Mens State X Country Championships in Ipswich last week end. In fact that was Jade's first race at the 10k distance so to place 13th in the State is truly a courageous achievement. Even better to top it off,Jade is a 800/1500m athlete. So how good is that performance? Jade has shown real commitment over the last few years and it is paying off. Well done my friend. Thanks to ...

23.01.2022 Something positive to watch,imagine competing in an environment such as that. I feel that if you want to achieve something special in the world of athletics,you must compete in Europe when you are in your prime years. Unfortunately you will never get to that level just competing in Australia. Racing against the very best is the only way forward. Even though PPTC has a number of excellent up and coming 400 m athletes,we also have one young lady that is on the edge of qualifyin...g for World Juniors. If we can get past that little hurdle and get the experience that is needed,I am confident that we will competitive in the 400/800m events in the years ahead. It doesn't happen over night,it takes years and years,but when you get it right,if your good enough and taken all the right steps,then you just might surprise yourself. Winners make it happen. They just don't sit on the fence and follow the sheep. You need to be motivated and if it means rocking the boat a little,then so be it. At the end of the day,the athlete and the coach knows whats best for you and how to get the best out of you. You just have to look after yourself. Australia has heaps of talent,but the athletes do not get the right support that they require. Maybe we need the NRL to run Athletics,might see some positive changes. See more

23.01.2022 Fantastic to see Athletics NSW showing some positivity about holding State X Country and State Club Track and Field Champs. This is the kind of leadership we need. I keep saying it,kids need goals,something to focus on. But in QLD we don't have it. Even though it may not happen,at least ANSW are talking about holding competitions,this creates a glimmer of hope. With that little bit of hope it changes the athletes mindset. Even if the event is put back,its still something positive to strive for.

21.01.2022 Only you and your coach can create whats meant to be!

19.01.2022 Well done to Queensland Athletic Association for trying to find a solution in keeping QLD School State Champs going. This is a very positive step and honest one as well. This really is great news.

19.01.2022 Good to see Jade getting some well deserved air time with his Tri Team. The best thing about Jade,is that with all his success he is having Jade still very grounded and acknowledges at the people who have supported him. Proud of you buddy. Good interview....

16.01.2022 Michael Johnson,maybe the greatest 200/400 athlete of all time. I had the absolute pleasure meeting Michael in a closed door seminar at the Academy Of Sport - Narrabeen. From here we discussed all topics of his 400m training,weights actual,running sessions and Michael's 400m racing plan. Mike breaks his 400m down into 5 parts. In these 5 different sages of his 400m he runs them all different. Who would of thought running the quarter mile would be so technical. I guess thats why PPTC has five females that are ranked top eight in the State and top six Nationally. Who would of thought that I would be coaching 400m athletes?

15.01.2022 Last but not the least,Hannah for the first time placed 1st in the Intermediate age group and is off States with the rest of the PPTC Team. Hannah has improved quite a lot after making a few changes in her running technique. We have made Hannah faster and more efficient by giving Hannah a more structured running program. Plus the balance has been quite good,so Hannah is always growing as well. All these factors play a major part in her development as a athlete. I would like ...to point out that Nat,Chloe,Thomas and Hannah always put the race plan together on race day. This is no easy feat and I believe that this is sometimes a better result than placing. Yes we all love to win or place,but if you cant execute what you have been taught at training,you definitely wont reach your potencial in a few years time when it counts. So well done Team. Special thanks to Brooks Running Impi Sportswear

15.01.2022 New up and coming Peak Performance Athlete Charlotte training in the rain in tropical Mirriwinni. PPTC has some really impressive juniors coming up through the ranks and for me as the coach,it looks very positive. Rain or hot and humid conditions Charlotte is always following her training program,never ever complains. This is what coaching is all about,coaching in relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Charlotte,well done today,really top effort.

14.01.2022 How good do these shoes look? So glad to have Brooks Running as a PPTC sponsor.

14.01.2022 Another Peak Performance by my Triathletes competing in the Cairns Coral Coast Triathlon on the week end. Hannah placed 1st in the 14/15 year girls and 15th overall,thats just such a strong sign of what is to come in the future. Very positive. Thomas,placed 1st in the 14/15 years boys and 4th overall. Can you believe it 4th overall for a junior boy,thats a fantastic effort. I am so impressed by that. Well done. Nat,who was just focussing on the swim side of things,swam like... a Barracuda and placed 7th overall in the swim leg. Again this really is an outstanding achievement for a 13 year old girl. Peak Performance is so grateful to have such wonderful athletes in the squad. Well done. Special thanks to the Cairns Crocs Triathlon Club for going out and putting this Tri on. Big thank you Garry and Luke Bicycle Central On Mulgrave for getting the girls bikes ready and supplying the girls with some excellent clothing.

14.01.2022 More of The Peak Performance Athletes who achieved Greatness at the Hamilton Island Triathlon. Tane - 1st in the Junior Tri Long Course Matilda - 1st in the Female Sprint Solo Jai - 1st in the Junior Splash and Dash Long Course Swim. All three family members are from Arlie Beach and mostly train by themselves. Even though it becomes boring and lonely at times,these three athletes get the job done. I am very proud and impressed with there commitment and dedication.... Well done Special thanks to Brooks Running Impi Sportswear Strand Fitness CBD

14.01.2022 New PPTC athlete Emily testing out her new Brooks Levitate training shoes. Peak Performance is going strength to strength and has a number of new talented athletes joining the squad. So positive signs ahead. Special thanks to our sponsors during these times. Brooks Running Strand Fitness CBD Bicycle Central On Mulgrave...

11.01.2022 Peak Performance Athlete Chloe who just placed 4th in her first Peninsula Junior Triathlon Championship has now earned herself a spot in the Peninsula Team to compete at next years State Championships. As Chloe is the bottom age in this event,placing 4th is a positive step towards her Triathlon career. As a running coach,Chloe has one of the best natural free flowing styles I have seen. Well done Chloe. Special thanks to ... Brooks Running Impi Sportswear See more

11.01.2022 Special Congratulations To Elli and Harry for making the Queensland Athletics Target Talent Program. This is a High Performance pathway that is regulated with Athletics Australia High Performance Department. This is Elli's 4th year in a row in making the squad for the 400/800m double. Elli is the most consistent 400/800m athlete in her age group and again backing up by winning the 800 m and the 400 m Silver medal at the QLD State Champs earlier this year. As for Harry,it'...s his first time in making the TTP squad for the 800/1500m double. In his first year of specialised training Harry place 4th in the 800 m and then backed up with a 3rd place for the 1500 m event at the State Champs earlier this year. To have two Nationally ranked athletes in the TTP is a real positive sign for everyone the Peak Performance Squad. Well done.

10.01.2022 Peak Performance Track Club has had another good performance with Arthur,Shanience and Matilda running very strongly in the NQ School Sports virtual X Country Champs. Shaniece placed 2nd, Arthur a close 3rd and Matilda running very strongly as well. Even though we are in a building phase at the moment and we definitely didn't peak for this event the results speak for themselves. Special mention,Shaniece who had a knee reconstruction and to come back to run a very solid 4k whe...n you are a 200/400m specialist is absolutely an outstanding effort As always big thank you to our club sponsors and supporters. I believe that we are the only Athletic club in Australia to be sponsored by Brooks Running,a magnificent gym Strand Fitness CBD. Then the only Athletic Club in North Queensland to be sponsored by Impi Sportswear and then for my Tri athletes we have Bicycle Central On Mulgrave. Plus Adani Australia to provide financial support. Lastly we have the best bananas in the north from Bartle Frere Bananas. So PPTC is in a very positive place and is surrounded by very positive people and athletes. Thank u ! See more

09.01.2022 The great Colin Jackson probably the best 110 m hurdler of all time. One of the most down to earth athletes that I have ever meet. I strongly encourage you to watch this video of a great champion. To my knowledge Colin played a huge part helping Linford Christie with his starts leading up to the World Champs. Colin had one of the fastest starts in the world. I remember Linford, Frederick's and Colin doing 100 m sprints with a running start. They were running in the 10 sec area,but looking so composed and just awesome.

08.01.2022 Another rewarding day training young Quin in tropical Babinda. Every club has there stars,but for me its just as rewarding seeing your junior athletes and in this case Quin improving quite a lot. Yes, we have made a lot of changes and have adjusted Quin's biomechanics a bit,but believe me the changes that this has made to Quin's running have been major. Apart from being very academic,Quin is very committed to her athletics and the results are really starting to show. Well Do...ne !

08.01.2022 Another big thank you to all the staff at Bicycle Central On Mulgrave for there on going support. If you want to ride and ride with confidence,I strongly recommend taking your bike there for a service. Luke's eye for detail is second to none and he will have your bike serviced on time and will explain in detail what he has done to your bike. If you need any cycling gear the shop is fully decked out with any equipment that you will need. Thanks again Garry,Luke and Will.

07.01.2022 Peak Performance would like to thank Gavin from Bartle Frere Bananas in supplying my local Peak Performance athletes the most beautiful,tasty banana's you could ever have. Gavin just rocks up with a box of bananas each week for the squad to enjoy. We never asked Gavin,but he's the type of guy that really goes out of this way to support the local community. Honestly,having people like Gavin being involved in the club,just makes PPTC a very close squad. Thanks Gav!

06.01.2022 Another Peak Performance Training Day with Liz on Saturday. Seven hours of high quality training then finishing it all off with some 77 cm high hurdle plyometrics at Etty Bay. Even better Liz can jump this height with her hands behind her back,so no using her arms,not bad for a 12 year old 200/400m athlete. Liz is one of three (Maya and Zia) that specialise in the 400 m event. All girls are 12/13 years and are so strong in the 400 m event they are all ranked top 8 in Queensla...nd,qualified for Nationals and their personal best times are within one second of the u/18 girls 400 m qualifying times for the Regional Australian Team to compete in the 2020 Oceania Melanesian Champs in Fiji. Well done Liz Thanks to Brooks Running Strand Fitness CBD Adani Australia Under Armour

05.01.2022 I would like to thank Kim from Impi Sportswear in supporting Peak Performance Track Club. Having a Brisbane based sporting wear sponsor was just a natural thing for PPTC athletes to support and promote.Peak Performance will now be wearing Impi Sportswear club uniforms at all our planned races and have the opportunity to wear other clothes in there range for training as well. Having such a valuable sponsor during these times is a real privilege to have. With Athletics North Queensland Track and Field Champs,State and National champs on the horizon this will give us a perfect opportunity to promote IMPI and our sponsors. Thank u Kim

05.01.2022 During my time being a professional Athlete and having the absolute pleasure of being based at the N.S.W Academy of Sport at Narrabeen - Sydney,you get to train and be associated with the best athletes in Australia and sometimes the world. Jane Jamieson is by far one of the very best Heptathlete's Australia has ever produced. Juggling study and training commitments Jane has a very impressive record. Apart from being the former National Champion 6 times for the Heptathlon an...d having a personal best score of 6354 compared to the current National Champion 6028. Jane is in a class of her own and has competed at Olympic,World and Commonwealth Championships and finishing with top 10 results at each level. Plus winning the Gold medal that the Commonwealth Games in Manchester. Most importantly Jane is extremely humble and very approachable. A true role model for any young athlete to look up too.

04.01.2022 Special thanks to the staff at Barlow Park Cairns during the week for making the Peak Performance Track Squad very welcome. Such a beautiful track that is always kept in tip top shape. Also thank you to my southern squad for making the trip up and making the last few days very very enjoyable. As a coach there is nothing better watching my Junior Elite Athletes just tearing the track up and looking so professional in doing so. Awesome.

03.01.2022 Another Peak Performance by Arthur this morning. Arthur ran a personal best this yesterday morning over 4k. Arthur who averaged 3.47 per for a total time of 15.08. What makes this run even better is that Arthur is in a building phase and there was no tapering at all for this run. Arthur is like the quiet assassin,he never complains,always does this training and most of all enjoys keeping fit. Arthur is very highly respected in the Peak Performance community. Well done. Than...ks to Brooks Running Strand Fitness CBD Adani Australia Bicycle Central On Mulgrave See more

02.01.2022 Peak Performance Triathlete Nat again is on the move along with many of my athletes who always bring out there best on race day. Nat raced in her second Triathlon this year and placed 2nd at the Peninsula Junior Triathlon on Sunday and earning herself a very well deserved spot on the Peninsula Team to Compete at the State Champs next year. Nat who is an excellent swimmer,held her own against some very strong cyclists and runners. Well done Nat. Thanks to Brooks Running... Impi Sportswear See more

02.01.2022 Cathy has been voted the Greatest of all Time. Cathy is an incredible athlete and a truly all round excellent person as well. We have been on National Teams together and ran the Grand Prix races around Australia and you will not find a more humble athlete anywhere. Always happy to answer any questions and never ever forgets friends from the past. Well done!

02.01.2022 Carl Lewis,the man that has won nine Oylmpic Gold medals and ten World Championship medals. I first meet Carl when I ran the Mt Sac Relays in the U.S and then again when we ran in the same Grand Prix series in Sydney. Even though Carl isn't as big in stature as the modern sprinters of today,I truly believe that he has probably the greatest sprinting technique of any sprinter that I have ever seen. Yes,big call,but if you really know what to look for in the technical departme...nt you will quickly agree with me. Carl's timing,posture,rotation through the mid section and his excellent ability to isolate different muscle groups when running at this level is really great to watch. Oh you can learn so much. Plus in that era all the top sprinters were so consistent compared to todays athletes. Carl's career went for around 18 years. In that time he was Olympic,World and World record holder for the 100/200 and Long Jump. See more

01.01.2022 Peak Performance would like to thank Garry from Bicycle Central On Mulgrave in sponsoring the Peak Performance Tri Girls,Natalie,Hannah and Chloe. To have easy the best cycling shop in Cairns now sponsoring three State Level Triathletes is really excellent for us and really shows that if you are dedicated and follow your program,the results will come and opportunities will arise. Thank you Garry,we are very fortunate to have you.

01.01.2022 Special thanks to Quinn and Maddi for making the effort driving to Babinda for a few hours of one on one training with Quinn. Have to say,it was a very productive morning with a few adjustments here and there we had a very positive outcome. Lovely young lady to train and a very smart little cookie as well. Well Done

01.01.2022 Proud to be apart of the Paget Welding & Engineering Mackay Team and among the other talented Mackay athletes who had a clean sweep of most of the events at the Hamilton Island Triathlon Tony Sfeir's Designer Physique Physio Plus Hamilton Island

01.01.2022 Excellent to see Athletics NSW holding NSW All Schools. Why? Athletics NSW run all the School athletic meets in NSW. Where in QLD its run by School Sport. Teachers do a fantastic job in teaching no doubt about that,but I feel QA should be in charge of ALL Athletic Meets in QLD. If this was the case,well we may just have better school meets and we would have State All Schools as well. Too many different regulations. But new news is that QA are fighting to get QLD School Champs happening or some other Track meet going. Go Queensland Athletic Association

01.01.2022 Grab a bargain,sales like this don't come very often. Go Brooks Running.

01.01.2022 Please note that I have been receiving quite a lot of communication about the McIntyre's representing PPTC at the recent QLD State X Country Championships in Ipswich last week end. Let me confirm that the McIntyre's are NOT associated with me or The Peak Performance Track Club in any way. There financial connection expired in March this year and they are now running for The Cairns Athletics Club. I have contacted Athletic's Queensland over this matter and they are in the... process of updating the results. Thank you everyone for there excellent support. Wal See more

01.01.2022 Yay,we have Track and Field Competition Dates!
