Details

Category: Scott Reardon

Matt: Congrats on making the Team for London, how does it feel?

Scott: I think more than anything it has made me realise how close the games are, when I made the decision to attempt to make London it was 4 years away, it’s only 76 days away!

Matt: You had run the qualifying times already and were basically assured a spot in the team, must be a weight off your shoulders now that it is official?

Scott: It is to a certain extent, but I had been looking past the selection process and concentrating on London for a long time now, so I think that the weight is still on the shoulders until I run in London

Matt: You had a race on the Gold Coast last weekend, what was your focus for this race?

Scott: This will be my second race for the season, well if you can call it a race, it is more of a training session, I am at a stage now where this is good practice, lining up beside other athletes and the pressure of competition, I will be focusing on running like I do in training, like there is no one else in the race to make sure I execute

Matt: You have been in a training camp with the team, what has the mood be like during the camp?

Scott: Focus, everyone knows that there is a job to be done and everyone is making sure that they do everything possible to ensure their best performance in London.

Matt: What will your training involve from now till the Paralympics?

Scott: I am actually not 100% sure, we will start to more away from the strength training and move into more specific training and speed work, I have the luxury of a great coach which means I don’t have to think about everything and just do the programs that she sets and I will be very well prepared

Matt: What are you favourite post-comp foods?

Scott: I don’t really have anything in particular but I do love a good steak.

Matt: Do you use any supplementation?

Scott: No, all natural!
