In Profile: Faz Zamani

Want a reason to jump on a bike, for Faz, there doesn’t have to be a reason other than to simply enjoy the pleasure (and pain!) of two wheels ! Nothing can really beat that…

Name: Farinaz Zamani

Nickname: Faz

Age Group: 36

Lives: Melbourne

Targeted Sport: Running & Cycling

Years in the Sport: Running – ten years. Cycling – six years.

How I got started:  I started running out of pure curiosity to see if I could and I was hooked straightaway. Small runs turned into 5km trots and next minute I was running half marathon and full marathons.

I started cycling after I signed up for my first ever sprint triathlon. Though I didn’t end up loving Tri’s I did fall in love with cycling and it’s a big part of my life now.

Why I choose CPC: Because it’s an authentic, down to earth and comprehensive coaching service that takes into account each athletes unique factors. I have been training with Sarah for nearly six years now and she has helped me grow into a stronger and happier human ☺️

What I ‘get’ from my sport: Both running and cycling keep me sane. Running is my meditation time; I can switch off and literally concentrate on my breathing.

Cycling provides me with a balanced and happy social life where I get to hang out with some of my closest friends whilst getting fit and enjoying the outdoors.

Ultimate Goal: Would love to run another marathon. I’ve ran four and five just seems like a nicer number 😂 Cycling goal has always been the same – have fun and maybe beat some PRs here and there ☺️

What I couldn’t live without: My family, friends and my Ragdoll Cat, Luigi ☺️.

Biggest love: Travel (with my bike and my runners!)

Pet peeve!: People who talk in the cinema 😂

Interesting fact about me: I play with my ear lobes when I’m really tired 😴
