Steve Moneghetti is still a household name throughout most of Australia. Along with De'Castella, he is without a doubt one of Australia's most recognisable runners.
With world champs bronze and Commonwealth Games gold medals donning his trophy cabinet, and with a 2:08.16 PB, Mona was the elite of the elite in the 90’s and would still be one of Australia’s best today.
At 61 years of age, Mona still runs, and pretty fast too. Last year he pumped out a 33-minute road 10km at 60.
We caught up with Mona to discuss not just the old days, but what is happening now, how he still manages to run so fast as a masters athlete, and also his thoughts on a range of things, from Gen Gregson, Pat Tiernan and Brett Robinson to super shoes and Kelvin Kiptum.
