Training Room members at the RUN ROME MARATHON.

Several Training Room members have finished the Run Rome Marathon this past weekend. This run boasted a route that was promised to be unmatched anywhere in the world, starting from the Imperial Forum, passing by the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine, the Castel Sant’Angelo, through Viale della Conciliazione with St. Peter’s Basilica, the Foro Italico and the Mosque, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna , Piazza Navona, the stairways of Santa Maria in Aracoeli and the Campidoglio, the Theater of Marcellus, finishing off with the Colosseum again in front of them.
Runners Rowena Pellegrini, Naomi Portelli, Chiara Scerri Herrera, Jenni McCorkindale, Donna Portelli, Pia Busuttil, Lisa Marie Duff, Lisa Darmanin Demajo, Kirsty Sant and Anthea Fenech are all Training Room members that were amongst the thousands who registered, and amongst the 7478 that finished the Marathon last Sunday 17th of March.
Rowena had the fastest time of the group finishing it 3:43, followed by Naomi Portelli at 4:48, Chiara Scerri Herrera at 5:00 and Jenni at 5:07. Donna Portelli, a long time Training Room member, suffered an injury only a few weeks ago and was still working on her recovery, yet still managed to finish the 42km+ in 5:15. She was followed by Pia at 5:33 and Lisa Marie Duff, who is currently training for an ultra-marathon and used this run as part of her training, at 5:36. She was followed by Lisa Darmanin Demajo at 5:37 and Kirsty and Anthea at 5:57.
Congratulations to all these amazing women for reaching such a milestone in their running journey. Everyone at Training Room is incredibly proud of you, and we can't wait to have you train alongside us again at the gym (maybe not a running wod in a while, yes?)
Thanks to Jenni for all the above info on running times and placements.
