Tell us who you are, who you run with? And how long have you been running for?
Lissy Duncan, I run mainly with mates in Melbourne area & I've been running since I was introduced to the sport along with my sister as a teenager.
Why do you run?
I love the community and the people I've met along my running journey but I also love testing my body to see what it's capable of. I think our bodies are so impressive and I'm always interested in trying new things and testing limits.
What motivated you to take on your chosen race this year?
The Paradise 14km is a race I try to do every year- as the name suggests, it's a picturesque out and back course which means you get to see every runner somewhere along the way, which is a fun way to support one another!
Do you have a goal?
Give my best effort on race day but still remember to enjoy the atmosphere (and encourage others to do the same!)
What’s your favourite SHYU?

Racing as part of Team SHYU, what does this mean to you?
As an individual sport, running can feel lonely at times, so being part of Team Shyu is brings a sense of connection and support with others who are part of the same journey.
