Some of us shyly say ‘oh no I don’t run, I jog’. At what point is the transition? Speed? Distance? As far as I’m concerned it’s sweat and tears!!!! So, Hi I’m Jayde and its official…… I am a Running Mum. 3 years ago I was pregnant and about to give birth to my [...]
Well girls, the time is almost here where we descend on the Gold Coast and give it all we have got. For most of us competing it has been months and months of preparation. Training physically and mentally for this race. Wether its the 10km, the half marathon or the marathon, this week is critical [...]
(image credit: thesportinmind.com) Hey RMA crew, With Gold Coast coming up next week I wanted to talk just a little about warm ups today because I know there’s a bit of confusion out there with so many different options for warming up. There will be some runners out there who talk about warming up [...]
Like everyone, I have a list of "special" places - places that are so unique and beautiful that they take your breath away. For me it's Te Anau in New Zealand (and the Kepler Challenge!), Queenstown, Patagonia and Sydney Harbour (I'm biased). Since 2012, when I first participated in the Glow Worm Trail Marathon Weekend, [...]

Hey Running Mums, Been a big week getting ready for Gold Coast. I know a lot of you RMA crew are champing at the bit and I can’t wait to see you guys on the day. Most of you are pretty much done with your long runs and are now tapering. We have seen some [...]
My name is Ida Dempsey, mother to 3 children, wife, runner and a stroke survivor. In September 2011, at the age of 40, I suffered a haemorrhagic stroke due to untreated high blood pressure. Running was my passion before the debilitating effects of stroke not only stole my ability to run - but to walk, [...]
I feel Pleasure when I run. I feel the warmth of the sun. I feel like refreshing of the rain. I feel the cool of the breeze. I love the feeling of my heart pumping and blood flowing. I have a love-hate relationship with the burning in the legs. I love getting to the top [...]
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 [...]
Hi guys! Hope you’re all going well with the longer runs. It was great to catch up with a whole bunch of the RMA crew over the weekend at the workshop. Everyone looked awesome. I just wanted to quickly go through runners knee because whatever you’re training for it’s important to be aware of risk [...]
I remember my first marathon clearly. It was September 2013 and it was in Sydney. It was a LONG. HARD. ROAD. Actually it was a LONG. HARD. LONELY. ROAD. I remember when I decided that I would run a marathon. It was just after I had finished my first half marathon at the Dubbo Stampede [...]

Even down to some pre-function entertainment, Justice Crew, which some young fogies didn’t appreciate, singing up a storm in the Queen St Mall. Jessica from Mizuno & Daniel [...]
