...Months and before you know it, the year has ended, your goals have changed, and your mind set is in a whole new place. I had big plans for this year. Some I have kicked, some have changed and one or two have fallen off the wagon. I'm a little lost at the moment hence … Continue reading Days turn into weeks turn into…

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″
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
City 2 Casino 11k (7k)
It was all going well until it wasn't. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it all falls in a heap. And sometimes it gets all muddled up. Which is what happened for my last race. I was all over the training, and then I was over the training. Life and general busyness got in the way and … Continue reading City 2 Casino 11k (7k)
Run the Bridge, Feb 18
The usual pre race nerves set in a few days before hand. The weather, my bib, clothes, food and hydration, getting there on time. My training had gone well and I was feeling good, ready to start and finish the race - enjoying it all the way. We arrived at the start with plenty of … Continue reading Run the Bridge, Feb 18
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
The toughest race is ahead….
Yep, it's that time of the year again. Point to Pinnacle is coming up in just over a week (not 4 days like I thought) and I'm starting to get those nervous feels. The everyday regular nerves that come before something big happens. Nerves that happen in various degrees before a race - the bigger … Continue reading The toughest race is ahead….
Ross 2017 – 21.1km
After a rocky training schedule I started race day with one thing in mind. Finish the race. During my interrupted training I knew I was good for the distance so decided to continue as I could with whatever strength and stretching routines I could muster up. On the day I drove to Ross with a … Continue reading Ross 2017 – 21.1km
Half training, motivation
I had a short break (like a couple of days) upon returning from the Gold Coast and then jumped straight back into training, this time for Ross. I'm now wondering, with my motivation waning, whether I should have taken a longer break. I have moments where I run simply because I have to, not because … Continue reading Half training, motivation
