Why Weight Training Is The Most Important Thing I Do - Guest Blog, Suzy Walsham.

From a running career including successes such as placing 6th in the 2006 Commonwealth Games 1500m and several Australian national open titles over 800m and 1500m, Suzy then moved to stair racing when she relocated to Singapore in 2006. She has dominated the worldwide stair racing circuits for the last decade and is the 9 times Tower Running World Cup winner and a 10 times winner of the Empire State Building Run Up.
