Product Review: Salomon Women’s XT Wings 10+3 Vest
When I was out mapping the 21km trail event for Run The Gap, I got chaffing on my neck from my hydration pack. The pack I was using was more designed for day hiking than day running. Although it was good, and it did the job of keeping me hydrated, it was just awkward and

Salomon Speedcross 3
It’s no secret that I love to run. Back in March I came back from a trail run and noticed my shoe was slightly damaged. Need to get myself some trail shoes. Just noticed some damage from yesterdays run #runchat #runhappy pic.twitter.com/nbX72Pj6QB — Matilda Iglesias (@MatildaIglesias) March 15, 2014 While only minor, these are my

Telstra Shop Handicap
I have a cold (sad face). I’m not too sure where I got it, but either way, I knew that I wasn’t going to have a flash club run. These things happen, and since it’s outside of my control, there is nothing I can do about it, you just have to plod on. This week’s club

Barham Insurance Handicap
It was a fine Autumn day for run club. The sun was out and it was shining, and it was lovely and warm, perfect temperature for this weeks run, which was the Barham Insurance handicap. Unlike last weeks race, our handicap’s were revealed prior to the run. Slower runners starting first and the faster runners

April Running Stats
It’s safe to say that my stats for April are low. I only ran 10 days out of a possible 30. One day I would like to run for 30 consecutive days. April wasn’t that month though. April was also ActiveApril month. It was a government initiative to encourage to move, not just you but

Dooen Engineering Sealed Handicap
The Stawell Running Club season opens with the Dooen Engineering Sealed Handicap. I missed this race in 2013 as I was in Geelong to run the Geelong Half Marathon. I’m glad the running season is open for the year, it keeps me motivated and pushes me to get faster. The first race for the year

Race Review: Trailblazers 10km – You Yangs
While browsing Facebook one day I saw The Running Company Geelong post an upcoming event they were a co-sponsor of. This is how I came to learn about the My Physio Trailblazer event in the You Yangs. I love trail running, there is no doubt about that. I enjoy it more and more each time

95 in March
I was going to title this post 95 reasons why March rocked. But then I thought wholly moly that’s a lot of reasons, and I don’t think my readers will get through 95 thoughts on why my March was great. I don’t even know if I could even come up with 95 reasons why it
Hips, Gait & Running
On my recent trip to Melbourne for Tough Mudder, I decided to do a tad of running window shopping. I was in the market for a new hydration pack/vest to replace my current pack which is just not practical for trail running. It’s great for hiking though, but it chaffs on my neck, and trying
