The Ultra Zone
Go Hard &bull Jan 31, 2012
My race plans for the year are far from set in concrete. A number of competing interests and opportunities that may or may not come around means the racing schedule is at best only written in pencil. Already there have… Full Story »

Easy Being Green
Go Hard &bull Jan 26, 2012
Moving out of orthotics and highly supportive/restrictive shoes has injected a bit of extra colour into my footwear. I don't plan on doing a shoe review. There are plenty out there of variable levels of use. I think for the… Full Story »

Anytime of Day
Go Hard &bull Jan 23, 2012
Consistency, consistency, consistency. Long term, that is the most important element of training. Last week's 12km race showed I can get some good results of mainly low intensity training if there is a good degree of consistency. It is fine writing out a plan to cover the weeks… Full Story »

Coburg 12km 2012 - Race Report
Go Hard &bull Jan 17, 2012
First race of the year. First race without orthotics. First race since trying to re-establish a training base. So back to another Coburg Harriers Run.

The long and moderate runs have been covered. While everything seems to be going… Full Story »

Long... finally
Go Hard &bull Dec 15, 2011
It's been about two months without a genuine long run. I did get in something a bit over two hours on the trails, but it was stupidly slow and involved more walking than I liked, so in my book it doesn't count. At the moment… Full Story »

Forming The Habit
Go Hard &bull Dec 11, 2011
Last week had the original plan changed. It was a a full night of almost no sleep in hospital that wore me down. Recovery from the actual snake bite was straight forward and quick given that it appear no venom… Full Story »

Snake Season
Go Hard &bull Dec 7, 2011
I've seen plenty of snakes over the years while running or just in the bush. I often take a compression bandage on some of my long runs if I'm some of the more isolated trails. This is the first time one has bitten me. Just out… Full Story »
