Murray Pitt wanted to improve his running and joined SWEAT in 2015. After completing two marathons and taking 10 minutes off his PB at Berlin, Murray, who is 51 turned his attention in 2016 to shorter distances.
With a new specific program, Murray ran the Sydney 10 at Homebush in May in 44:19 which placed him 20th in his age group and was a PB by 26 seconds. He then backed up for the Gold Coast Half in July in 98:08, which placed him 52nd out of 399 finishers in his age division and another PB.
