There was more international success by Maltese athletes
as St. Patrick's AC runner Giselle Camilleri placed first
senior in a 5km mountain race in North Italy. The race which
was held in the Trentino village of Vermiglio in Val di Sole
at an altitude of 1250m was organised by the Lega Nord. She
was presented with a trophy by the party's leader Umberto
Bossi.
Whilst in the Val di Sole region in North Italy, Camilleri,
who is sponsored by Health Aid Supplements u Extran, underwent
an intensive altitude training program. Altitude training
is known to improve the physiological functioning of long
distance runners as a result of strengthening the body's oxygen
transport system. Low oxygen concentration at altitude aids
in increasing the amount of red blood cells which are used
to carry oxygen to the muscles. Thus making the body more
efficient and prolonging the onset of fatigue.
Camilleri, a bronze medal winner in the 5,000m at the last
Games for the Small States of Europe continued in her good
form by coming second in last week's Birkirkara St. Joseph
5k series.
Her next target is that of obtaining the qualifying time
for the IAAF Road Running World Championships that are to
be held in Portugal next month. The up-coming 10K organised
by the Ladies Running Club will determine Malta's representatives
at these championships.
Success fl-Italja ghal Giselle Camilleri
Giselle Camilleri atleta tas-Sy.Patricks AC, ricentament
