Berlin marathon 2017 by Ana Croger

  I haven't really raced a distance road race since Canberra marathon in April so I came to Berlin with an open mind about race day. Berlin Marathon 2017 hosted 44,000 runners from 120 countries.  Whilst the Germans are known for their efficiency, the magnitude of the event combined with voting in the German Federal [...]

My journey to Marathoner – The Sydney Marathon 2017

By |2021-02-16T11:18:34+11:00September 19th, 2017|Member stories, Running Stories|5 Comments

This weekend I completed something that still seems a little surreal – I became a Marathoner! Now if you had told me that a few years ago the reaction would have been pretty clear, a big laugh and a ‘you have to be joking, I could never run that far!’ In the scheme of things [...]

Let’s start from the beginning: I’ve been running less than a year. It’s going to be a year on 26 August, 2017 to be precise. All I can say is that it has been an amazing year and the best decision to put running shoes on and just walk out of the door on one [...]

Brisbane Marathon 2017 – My Redemption Run! by Cindy Aubrey

 I’ve never been what I would consider a real runner, so sitting here writing a race recap after completing my second marathon is still quite surreal. In high school you would only ever find me participating in the 100m run on sports day because that was compulsory for everyone to do. Even then I always [...]

She is a SUPERMUM, three-time Olympian, juggles motherhood and a career, and is now Australia's third fastest woman over the marathon distance following her recent 5th place at the London Marathon in a time of 2:25:15. We asked Lisa what lead her on this journey in the first place, and what inspires her to persist and achieve in high level competition, what running [...]

The 2017 Australian Running Festival in Canberra was another wonderful display of community, passion, determination and friendship. Like all events I've been to as a Running Mum the support was second too none and I felt so very blessed all weekend being part of this community. To be brutally honest I went into this event [...]

Start Spreading the News….New York City Marathon

  I have wanted to run the New York City Marathon before I really even started running. It has been a bucket list item since University and I have entered the ballot many times to no avail. In 2013 I started training for New York only to find out I was pregnant with our third [...]

Toowoomba Marathon Race Recap by Susanna Mihalik

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 [...]

The Lamington Eco Challenge – August 13-14, 2016 by Lauren Shay

Can you do it twice? It was a dare. The question posed by the Lamington Eco Challenge taunted me. Could I do a 42km trail run twice in two days? Sure, there were 8km and 21km options, but I am too stubborn – some might say foolish! – to not throw myself at a challenge [...]

  The Sunshine Coast Marathon had it all, pony rides, jumping castles, face painting, amazing scenery, the RMA spirit, the big race atmosphere and a great course.   Lining up for my 20th half marathon I never imagined when I started running 3 years ago I would be writing this race recap. My journey has [...]

  Training is going well. I’m into Week Three of my training plan for the full marathon and feel pretty great. In addition to the wonderful support that I receive from the many RMA (Running Mums Australia) ladies that live or visit my area, I am lucky enough to have a great social running group [...]

  The time has come to focus on the marathon again… My relationship with the marathon really started for me in 2014, when my husband and I decided to run our first. It was a special training process together and a goal we conquered together, while raising over $5000 for the Royal Women and Children [...]

On Sunday 10 April 2016, I completed my third marathon. I was not going to run the marathon this year, after running my first marathon one year ago (Canberra), as well as the Melbourne Marathon in Oct 15. I was not sure if I would run ‘a full’ again, not because I did not enjoy [...]
