How much does it cost to run 100 miles?

December 31, 2022January 3, 20232 Comments

"Trail and ultra running is inclusive". There are few things at the moment that get my blood boiling as much as this sentence, especially when it comes from a middle aged white man. "Ultra marathon running attracts a certain type of person", they say when questioned about the fact that there are a significant amount … Continue reading How much does it cost to run 100 miles?

2022: A year in running

December 29, 2022Leave a comment

Every year at Christmas I sit down and watch the movie version of the Broadway musical 'Rent'. It's my end of year tradition. "How do you measure, measure a year?" they ask and each holiday season I asked myself the same thing. Luckily for runners, Strava has that in the bag, publishing their 2022 Recap … Continue reading 2022: A year in running

Race recap: Ultra trail Kosciusko 100k

December 19, 2022December 22, 2022Leave a comment

It had been a while. Quite a while actually, since I had run 100km. It seemed like something that had become part of my identity, running long distances, of how people saw me, but I wasn’t actually doing it. The last time I completed a 100km race was September 2017, the Surf Coast Century, over … Continue reading Race recap: Ultra trail Kosciusko 100k

Pre-game: Ultra Trail Kosciusko

If there is one thing that runners embarking on the Ultra Trail Kosciusko are worried about ahead of the big dance next weekend it’s snow.Australia’s highest peak still has a dusting after getting unseasonal snow a few weeks ago. That snow has now mostly melted down to sludge and mud, a trail runners wet dream, … Continue reading Pre-game: Ultra Trail Kosciusko

Serious business this trail running! Macedon Ranges Walking track today, no clue where I was going! This shit is probably why I fall over so much. GPS was dodgy, snacks were on point. If we want to keep running mate, apparently we have to do the weights too! 😳😬😩 Weekend fun at warby! Add it to your bucket list for next year! Adding to the collection today with a solid 27k at Warby trail fest! Always a great event, probably the most running I’ve done in a while at a trail run, and super fun to run with Morgs and Megs, although they probably wished they had brought earplugs! 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, for 12 years! Because it didn’t happen if it’s not on Strava, instagram,  the go pro and all the things! Injury update: I have a lazy arse! Behind the scenes of a trail running trip to New Zealand! It’s all fun and games until you have to get your gear back through quarantine! Not gunna lie, looking forward to coming home at the end of the week, but it would be rude to not keep getting out when the trails look like this
