Kyle’s Story
I was born in Ipswich and spent my first 9 years there before I moved to the Gold Coast with my Mum and younger brother. We’ve always been a very sporty family with both my parents being heavily involved in numerous sports. After moving to the Gold Coast in 2004, I began playing rugby league, which I continued up until I finished school.
The last few years of high school was when I met Caitlin and she is definitely to blame for my current running adventures after persuading me into doing the 48km Kokoda Challenge when we were in our last year of school. After that I was hooked.
Around a year after I started running, at the age of 19, I thought it’d be a great idea to sign up for a 100km race because “Well, I only have to jog. It can’t be that hard”. Well that day I found out just how hard it is but I managed to get four Australian Under 20 records so it was all worth it. I also managed to add another Australian age group record to that and to date I’ve completed 21 ultra marathons and amassed over 20000km of running (again, because why not).
Kokoda Challenge when we were in our last year of school. After that I was hooked.
During this time I started my study at Griffith University here on the Coast where I studied for 5 years. I was fortunate enough that Britt let me do my last placement at Gold Coast Physio & Sports Health and well, the rest if history!
I love working with the amazing team we have at Gold Coast Physio & Sports health and can’t wait for many more years to come, and to be able to help many more athletes achieve!
