My longest run before my marathon in Toowoomba on the weekend was a 34k run which ended at 32k. It was windy, raining and I was stuffed. I had not another metre left in my body and I though to myself " There is NO WAY in hell I can run another 10k on top of [...]

  I’m a ‘back of the pack’ runner, and it’s taken me two years to feel okay with that. Going back to my high school days, which (dare I say it) was 20-odd years ago now, I was a star pupil with my after-school activity, spending every minute and every hour dedicating myself to training [...]
