The day the seed was planted on running an Ultra was the day I ran Surf Coast Century (Leg 3), back in September 2017. I never wanted to run a marathon, yet a 50km trail event sounded highly appealing. Trail running and road running are very different, and I enjoy both for very different reasons.
Dear 10k distance, you and are just aren’t getting along. I think it’s time we break up. Having just run a 10km club event, and missing out on a personal best time of a sub 47min, I was feeling defeated. Sure there were factors; I was tracking well in the first few K’s, then it

I would have written this post yesterday. I had the full intention of doing so. However, I was pooped. So alas it didn’t happen. But because I’m forward thinking I moved my Motivational Monday post aka July Challenge week 4 to tomorrow so I could make way for my race recap today. I guess it

My 1st half marathon for the year has been officially crossed off the list. Yay :)! But it did mean I missed the first SAAC club meet/run for the season. Nay 🙁 The Geelong Half Marathon was hosted by GCCC (Geelong Cross Country Club). There were lots of elements of this race that I really

Long Post Ahead I first found out about the Portland 3 Bays Marathon via some running friends at our local running club. After Run Melbourne, I knew I wanted to tackle the half marathon distance again. However, I couldn’t decide when or where I wanted to do it. It wasn’t until the colour run
