HAVING done five half marathons, I think I always knew in the back of my mind I would one day try a full marathon. A lot of people asked and I’d generally find a way to fob them off or tell them the many reasons why I didn’t think I was cut out for a [...]

There I was in Gold Coast at 5am on a Sunday morning (as usual for us runners) it was cold and dark and I probably didn’t need to be there that early but hey my nerves were all over the place. It is the day for a Half Marathon sub 2hr and speed doesn't come natural [...]
