Episode 64 - Steve Moneghetti



“When people talk to me about being worried about selection, I say you just do the running and the selection will look after itself. If you run and focus that’s what you can control”

My special guest is Steve Moneghetti. Steve is a legendary Australian Long Distance runner who represented Australia at 4 Olympics & Commonwealth Games which included a Commonwealth Gold, Silver & 2 Bronze Medals.
