Ross 10k – 2/9/18″

It's been a week since and I'm only just getting around to posting this. I'd actually forgotten, being busy with work and trying to calm my quad. I'd done the training but missed hills and strength. Ok, so all I'd done is some running. I arrived on the day half an hour early, perfect time … Continue reading Ross 10k – 2/9/18″

Favourite run vs favourite medal

What makes a race your favourite? The crowd support? Your perfect weather conditions? Having a good mindset the whole way through? Getting a PB? Each race has its own story which almost makes them all memorable - for different reasons. Sometimes it can be hard to make a choice and if i tried to do … Continue reading Favourite run vs favourite medal

What does a runner look like..?

Over the last 3 years I've discovered a lot about myself, what a runner looks like and what a runner actually is. In a nut shell, a runner is someone who runs. Fast or slow, smooth, elegant or like a baby giraffe. Large or small, it doesn't matter. So long as they are moving forward … Continue reading What does a runner look like..?

Launceston 10 – 3/6/18

There's the point in each race, at the starting corrals where you think "what did I sign up for" There's the point in each race just after the gun goes off where you think "what am I doing" There's the point in each race near the half way mark where you think "I can do … Continue reading Launceston 10 – 3/6/18

Couples goals

Hmm, you say what..? I keep seeing the hashtag attached to perky pictures of couple at races or the gym. I hear within other conversations that said couple does everything together (or most things fitness orientated). I roll my eyes at these things. I have this weird feeling about the term #couplesgoals. Look, I am … Continue reading Couples goals

Carbs are back

I'm not sure exactly what it was. I'm not sure whether it's all in my mind. I'm not sure if I was just having a bad week or two. What I am sure about though is that the small intake of carbs between Thursday and Sunday certainly contributed to my increased performance over the weekend. … Continue reading Carbs are back

8 weeks – time to re-assess

Its been 8 weeks and I've discovered I need to change where I'm going with lchf. It might seem a bit 'oh I love this, its fantastic' one minute and the next 'ugh, feel like shit, it's not working', I see that. I am in both of those camps right now. I figure eight weeks … Continue reading 8 weeks – time to re-assess

Food prepping for better lunches

I wrote a short post on Facebook about food prep and how it is changing my mornings (and evenings) for the better, as well as my whole week. When you are organised in one aspect you can concentrate on others, and slowly you are organised in enough areas that the rest just falls into place. … Continue reading Food prepping for better lunches

There’s no such thing as a bad run…

Really...? What makes up a bad run. Slow speed or pace. Niggly old or new injuries. Mental or emotional worries and stress? We may certainly use these as a reason for a bad run, but I think it comes down to something a lot more simple. You had a plan or expectation in mind which … Continue reading There’s no such thing as a bad run…

The 10km plan

You’ve run a marathon, you’ve run more halves than you can count (training runs included) and now you decided you want to have a training plan for 10km runs. Whaaat??? The answer is pretty simple. To help me get enjoyment out of running again. Less pressure on performance, and more on fun. At Ross last … Continue reading The 10km plan
