Mottram: Aussie warm-up helps all

Craig Mottram believes Australian athletics will improve if runners arrive early to acclimatise to conditions prior to next year’s Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

The 24-year-old Aussie, who in Dublin this weekend is chasing a hat-trick of Great BUPA Ireland Run successes, believes athletes will benefit by warming up for the next year’s showcase event in domestic races Down Under.
