Front Runner Trained Profile: Julian Crowley

Julian has made his way to Seattle as a C-Suite tech exec & has been with us for many years as an online client. Last year he finally ticked the box of sub 3hrs Marathon with a great negative split at the California International Marathon.

➡️When did you get started on your running journey?
During COVID. I was looking to stay fit during the pandemic in Singapore and this got me outdoors.

➡️Summarise what running means to you in one sentence……
Running is balance, growth, pain, fun all rolled into one sweaty package.

➡️Describe your current weekly training programme?
A. Lots of easy miles, 2x workouts that hurt, 1 long run that also hurts. It’s amazing how it becomes routine.

➡️What are your current PB’s?
Nothing to write home about but I’m proud of them: sub-3 marathon, sub-19 5km, and sub-40 10km.

➡️What is your proudest running achievement to date?
Sub-3 marathon took years. But honestly? The achievement wasn’t the time—it was not quitting despite injuries and life.

➡️How long have you been with Front Runner & who is your Front Runner coach?
Since COVID and coached by Raf!

➡️What have you valued most about being a athlete?
It’s the difference between just running and actually training. With FR, you also understand the “why” which helps when you’re hurting from the “what/how”. You don’t feel like your hurting for no reason or just running junk miles.

➡️Favourite training buddies?
Jake the Snake

➡️What are your short (next 12 months) and long-term goals in running?
Short term: Get faster—sub-18 5km and sub-39 10km. Long term: Put together that perfect race where everything clicks and I run as fast as I’m actually capable of. No idea what that time is yet, but I’ll know it when I do it.

➡️If you could give one piece of advice about running what would it be?
I’m just an ordinary runner with no major accomplishments, but if I may be so bold: enjoy the process. PRs feel great for about 24 hours, then you realize the high was actually in the training.
