February 10, 2019February 10, 20191 Comment

If you are a trail runner in Australia, NZ or Europe you have inevitably faced the list of mandatory gear required for some of the longer trail runs.

All the gear- What do I use?

December 5, 2017December 5, 20171 Comment

When people find out you are a runner, there are usually two things they want to talk about, why you don't have a car (which I do by the way) and gear.

Shit is getting real. Had a go at the 28k at Two Bays for the first time today, didn’t really have the best time with over 1300 people crammed onto a single track. Struggled to get any sort of rhythm or consistency going with all the Congo lines, bottle necks and over taking, but it was good to see so many people out and about and to put another long ish run in the bank before New Zealand. Like everyone else I’ve been looking at the calendar and looking at what goals I have for 2023, what holidays I want to take, races I want to do, but I’m still kinda getting over the glamour of the last one! Happy New Year! You know I spent way too much time playing with this!
