Running workshop
Join us on Wednesday, 5 August, for an evening designed for Melbourne's running community as we build towards the Sydney Marathon on Sunday, 30 August 2026.
You'll have the chance to test the The Deviate Pure NITRO™ and Deviate NITRO™ Elite 4
The Deviate Pure NITRO™ Running Shoes are ready for training and daily speed runs with lightweight NITROFOAM™ cushioning and a flexible ride. No plate, just smooth propulsion, so you can pick up the pace when it feels right.
The Deviate NITRO™ Elite 4 Running shoes are made for race day. NITROFOAM™ Elite delivers lightweight, responsive cushioning and a re-engineered PWRPLATE adds support and forward propulsion.
Test the latest PUMA performance shoes on a relaxed group run along the Yarra River before returning to the clinic for a live demonstration on our Zebris instrumented treadmill, where we'll explore running biomechanics and how footwear can influence performance.
Finish the evening by connecting with fellow runners, chatting with the team, and asking any questions as you head into the final weeks of marathon preparation.
Whether you're racing Sydney or training for your next goal, we'd love to see you there.

PRESENTERS
Georgie Macdonald
-
With a background in middle-distance track running and basketball, Georgie has a passion for treating a wide range of injuries, particularly sports and running-related conditions.
Outside of work, she enjoys running along the Yarra, exploring Melbourne’s best coffee and wine spots with friends, and escaping to the stunning Great Ocean Road coastline on weekends.
Ben drenovac
-
Ben's professional journey began in Geelong, where he honed his skills in a sporting private practice and with an Australian Rules Football club. His expertise extends across both football codes, making him a versatile and knowledgeable physiotherapist.
As an active individual, Ben's enthusiasm for sports led him to further qualifications within sports. This extensive knowledge allows him to craft comprehensive rehabilitation programmes, ensuring a full return to performance post-injury. Ben is also skilled in dry needling, which he uses to benefit his clients where appropriate.
Like many, Ben turned to running when his cricket season was cancelled due to Covid-19. This newfound passion saw him complete three marathons, culminating in an impressive sub-3-hour marathon at the Gold Coast in 2022. Outside of running, Ben also enjoys cycling and golf, and values staying active across a range of sports and pursuits.
When he’s not working, you’ll likely find Ben exploring Melbourne's many golf courses, getting out for a ride, or avidly watching football games.
We’re thrilled to have Ben on board and can’t wait for you to meet him at the Running Room!
