The Comeback Of Robert Heppenstall

The Terminal Mile

You don’t get to be a 7x All American in the 800 without a ton of consistency; years and years of injury free training and properly executed racing strategy. What happens when that consistency gets interrupted though? Robert Heppenstall found out when he tackled his first real injury as an athlete, keeping him on the sidelines for nearly 2 years. Robert is back though, soloing a 2:24 1,000m a couple weeks ago, and he’s recently moved stateside from his hometown Hamilton to join the District Track Club as an Under Armour athlete. This is a pivotal time for Robert, not only coming back from an injury but making the transition from collegiate to pro athlete, and this week, we talk about all those things.
