Tara Palm is this week’s guest on Inside Running coming off a tight duel against Caitlin Adams at Victorian 5000m Championships ahead of her preparations for Zatopek:10. She chats with Brady about the depth in South Australia and how her start in running involved trying everything from steeplechase to cross country.
Tara talks about making the transition to higher volume training loads and making her debut Australian teams with the Ekiden Relays and then the back injury in the lead up to the 2009 World Cross Country Championship in Jordan. From there Tara overcomes a series of injuries, surgeries and the patience needed through recovery to set a comeback for the 2013 World Cross Country Championship, only to succumb to another set of injuries. She talks candidly about dealing with injuries as well as her life balance, support network and inspiration looking ahead.
