CONNOR HORTLE

ASSOCIATE COACH

Connor started his running journey in July 2022 with RAO but previous to that he describes himself as ‘not a runner’. With a background in football, cricket & basketball at higher levels Connor not only built an aerobic base but has always had sporting achievements at the forefront of his mind, which became evident shortly after his debut at RAO.

Fast forward a couple months, Connor began training with Izzi (Batt-Doyle) and as he quickly learnt the ins & outs of training we knew that one-day he would become one of our next coaches. His development in not only his knowledge of running but also his own performance shows every time he steps foot on either the track or the road as he continues to build his resume and experience of all things running. Connor says his love for success, development, & RAO (shown by the tattoo on his right achilles) drives him along and he cannot wait to help everyone achieve their goals & enjoy running as much as he does.
