Darren McIntyre at work
 My job is on and oil platform in Bass Strait where I live for one week and then home to my gorgeous family for a week. Working offshore has its benefits but as you could well imagine there are no places to go and run. We have a reasonably well appointed gym with a couple of treadmills and a rowing machine and bikes etc. Last year I competed in the Melbourne half marathon and my training was very hotch potch. I didn’t have any real program to follow and just did what I could at work doing all my speed stuff on the treadmill and then long runs at home. My goal now is to complete the Great Ocean Road full marathon in a time of 3hrs45min based on my time for Melb Half. About 9mths ago my wife was diagnosed with bowel cancer and has just recently finished 6mths of intensive chemo therapy. This brings me to how I am able to motivate myself to train for this event.....my gorgeous Wife.
