A story of “Mal Wilson's motivations”
Last 10 years, He was a person that smoked, drank, and was overweight, stressed and never believed in exercise. On Thursday morning in November 1993, it all came to a sudden end in the way of a heart attack. This was to be followed up six months later with a quadruple bypass. In that six months leading up to my operation my life was in the hands of God.
After his operation, scarred and sore, He was about to take up the biggest change of my life. One afternoon, standing in a gym in the City he watched a man workout on a running machine. All of a sudden he realized that the man was my heart surgeon. After a chat his surgeon asked him to have a run on the treadmill. So with great trepidation he decided to give it a go. He had been doing a lot of walking as exercise after his heart attack and this was a further stepping stone. After twenty minutes of running and hardly any puffing he knew that this was to be the start of two friendships - one with my surgeon Mark O'Brien, and one with the road.
Mark then introduced him into the Queensland Marathon and Road Running Club. So with no more than a shuffle that he had been doing for a couple of months and for no longer distance than one kilometer, he decided to enter a five-kilometer race. This took him beyond anything physical he had done in his whole life and all the time not knowing if his heart was going to over charge. Well it didn't, and he finished in twenty-five minutes (not ready for the Olympics yet!).
Ten years down the track with the right diet, lots of training and lots of love and sup. His surgeon also competes in just about every marathon he run, and he is so proud to show him just what he has done for his life.
He is a volunteer with the heart support group at Prince Charles Hospital and spend a lot of spare time at the hospital talking with heart patients. he like to give back to the hospital and staff as much as he can for it's these people who are the unsung heroes.
Before his heart attack he was ninety-six kilograms. He is now seventy-one kilograms and has a resting heart rate of forty-one. Before his heart attack it was up in the eighties. Port from my wife and two sons, I am now a marathon runner.
He train a minimum of six kilometers and a maximum of thirty kilometers a day, and his best times in running are:
- Marathon: three hours, fourteen minutes (Gold Coast)
- Half-marathon: one hour, twenty seven minutes (Noosa)
- Ten kilometers: thirty-eight minutes (QMRRC)
- Five kilometers: seventeen minutes (QMRRC)
He have won:
- Ten gold championship medals, three silver championship medals and three bronze championship medals at my running club
- Third and second in two separate Australia Day runs at Redland Bay,10ks
- Second in an open event ten kilometer run for 'breast cancer' in the City,10ks
- Second outright in a 12 kilometer Glasshouse Mountain race
- Second outright in a Bribie Island 30 kilometer beach run
- Second two years in a row, for age, at Sandgate in a 10 kilometer road race
- Third in an open event at Mt Mee - Mt Mee is rated as one of the hardest in the country.10ks Second one year third the next in age from Samford to Dayrbo,23ks
