Australia
Steve Moneghetti is still a household name throughout most of Australia. Along with De'Castella, he is without a doubt one of Australia's most recognisable runners.
With world champs bronze and Commonwealth Games gold medals donning his trophy cabinet, and with a 2:08.16 PB, Mona was the elite of the elite in the 90’s and would still be one of Australia’s best today.
At 61 years of age, Mona still runs, and pretty fast too. Last year he pumped out a 33-minute road 10km at 60.
We caught up with Mona to discuss not just the old days, but what is happening now, how he still manages to run so fast as a masters athlete, and also his thoughts on a range of things, from Gen Gregson, Pat Tiernan and Brett Robinson to super shoes and Kelvin Kiptum.

The easiest way to describe it is, hydration and fueling products will take you through to the finish line. PILLAR will get you to the start line, in your best condition, over and over again. The Triple Magnesium is my personal favourite. Like many pro runners such as, Brett Robinson, Charlotte Purdue, Sam Parsons and members of the OAC (George Mills, Tom Elmer).

The product is the brainchild of world renowned ‘father of HRV research’ Dr Dan Plews, and incorporates a leading dose of Magnesium Glycinate. The real kicker though, is how delicious it is!
