Australia houses some of the most amazing runners around, not to mention the most amazing mother runners. One such runner is ultra runner Nikki Wynd. Nikki only started running about 5 years ago and found herself not only loving the sport, but very talented at it too. After working extremely hard to smash all of [...]
I found out very quickly about cadence several years ago when I had the sudden onset of plantar faciitis, ouch. I had six months off running. It was excruciating – and gave me a long time to research running form and “ways I can prevent this ever, EVER happening to me again”. Cadence is the [...]
This time last year I could count on one hand the number of International trips I had made and I had never been to Europe. I am now getting ready for my 2nd trip to Europe in 6 months and by the end of the year I will have doubled the number of international trips [...]
Around this time 2 years ago I decided it was about time I got myself back into shape after giving birth to my son 8 months earlier. I had been a bit of a runner a few years before, mainly to help with my 1st grade hockey training but I had never really considered myself [...]
Hey, RMA Crew! It was so good to catch up with everyone at Gold Coast. Such a crazy time, but so much fun! I was talking with Nicole about foam rolling and thought it would be a good idea just to talk briefly about the best way to get elite-level results with your self-release strategies. [...]

Rewind to December 2013…My bestie Carmen calls me to tell me she is engaged! I am sooooo excited, until she asks me to be her bridesmaid and announces that the wedding is in 12 weeks’ time! I panic! Carmen was my bridesmaid in 2005 when I was a fit, svelte size 8 bride. On that [...]
Recently our friends at Run Faster held a competition for two of our lucky RMA members to WIN some of their tights and then write a review about them. We love their tights. They are stunning and slimming, and they have a fantastic range of styles and colours to chose from. Two of our members, [...]
At the beginning of this year I was coming off an amazing 2014 running year. I had run numbers half marathons, 3 marathons, a 30k trail race and a 60k ultra. I was being coached by a fantastic coach, and I felt stronger and fitter than ever before. I was looking full ahead at my [...]
Running is a sport that brings so much emotion in all of us. For women, there are so many reasons why we run. It might be to conquer fear, it may be to break a PB, lose weight, time with friends, fulfil spiritual enlightenment....whatever the reason, we run because, well, we love it right? We [...]
