The running journey for me has been a long one. I have always been a runner and I clearly remember the day I decided to run my first half marathon. The aim was to just finish and finish I did.... Then I decided, being a distance runner, that a half marathon just wasn't enough for me and I [...]

As we head full steam ahead into racing season it is important to remember that recovery is just as important as the training itself. Recovery in this instance refers to us taking a break after a hard run or taking some time out during our training program. Even though we think recovery is important, it [...]
This time last year I was training for my very first Marathon.The Gold Coast Marathon. I had mixed emotions as I was excited but also nervous. Nervous not because I had entered and I had to run a very long way, but just that ugly saying "hitting the wall". I started training back in February [...]
