I can pinpoint the exact moment this year when for me running became my absolute passion. It was during the Coastal Classic and I had just run a marathon two weeks prior in Adelaide. My quads were screaming at me and I was wondering what on earth I was thinking when I signed up for [...]
Hey RMA crew! This year is flying by! I had a massive weekend just gone. Headed to Endeavour 500 which is an awesome relay event to raise money for the disabled. Three days, five hundred kilometres, eighteen teams and up to 47 degree temperatures made for a fun and exhausting time. I can see an [...]
For those who have followed my story this year know that it has been an amazing 6 months. From being selected for the Indigenous Marathon Project to completing my first marathon within 5 months of training. It has been an exhilarating 6 months meeting amazing people, running in the most beautiful places in the world [...]
This is what I want to write about. It was one moment in the 10km race at the gold coast. Well, it was probably a series of moments. I’ve spent the first half of 2014 dissecting and experimenting with the 10km race. Last year I ran a 40.39 and as my half marathon times had [...]

Every time your feet hit the pavement you feel a great sense of achievement and you want to build on that, getting further, faster.....but let's be honest, being a good runner takes time and commitment.

I have had a running coach for around 12 months now. There was a few reasons that a running coach was something that I wanted. As I started taking my running more seriously I wanted someone that I could be accountable to. Just like when I used to go to the gym and boot camp [...]

Jess is an amazing marathon runner and I remember clearly the night we were all watching in awe of her stunning performance this year where she took home the bronze medal in Glasgow. Jess's [...]
A few months ago I decided that I wanted to create a limited edition singlet for Running Mums Australia. Not only did I want this singlet to be gorgeous, and something that our members would want to wear, but the reason behind the singlet was that I wanted to make a difference in the life of [...]
I joined Running Mums Australia just under a year ago, and since then I have read at least 3 posts, by 3 different women, about an experience they have had of being outside, in public, running, and having young men yell out degrading, awful, rude, hurtful, unnecessary, shameful things to them. All of these posts [...]
