“At age 64 I joined FAST & Active to take up sprinting again for the first time in 45 years! At first I trained with a group of similar age club members relearning the basics with the Head Coach, Steve Dodt. It was great fun and a very friendly and supportive environment.
After a couple of months I joined training with the broader FAST Track sprint squad which included masters like me but also young and very talented male and female athletes including some with a disability.
This was a great experience and very rewarding as well . That such a range of abilities could be so naturally accommodated in a single, serious yet fun athletic group is testament to the spirit and reality of the highly inclusive nature of athletics and FAST in particular.”
