Every three years I (with hubby and our two children) visit my family in Mumbai. So Stephen and I decided why not conclude our holidays with the Mumbai Marathon that takes place in January every year (formerly known as Standard Chartered Marathon). This year it was the TCS Mumbai Marathon. Stephen signed up for the … Read more
So you have dabbled in a little running, joined RMA, maybe even made a few running friends and gotten a little better at this running thing, and now you have found yourself keen to sign up to your first event. You are unsure… you have never run in an event before, or you think you … Read more
As a recently appointed RMA Ambassador I thought I would like to write a little story and share some snippets of what I’ve learnt over the years with all you fit mummies! I was happy to take some time out of my crazy day to write, but in order to make these articles worthwhile I’d like to … Read more
I decided to run the Polar Half Marathon in Norway quite by accident. A Facebook friend was interested which drew it to my attention. I already knew I was going back to Czech so I booked it hoping my mum would travel there with me. I did a few short runs in the cold as … Read more
It’s time to reflect on the journey from non running Mum living in England to a RMA running Tooowoomba Mum To Disney World and the most epic running challenge. Grab a cup of tea or a wine as this an in-depth recap! Back in 2014, I sat at home reflecting on what I had … Read more
Want to see what we have been up to at RMA this year? Here is a select video of the highlights that members shared for 2017. RMA is changing the shape of what it is to live and be healthy in Australia. Hopefully we are inspiring the next generation to follow suit. Enjoy 🙂
Well, what a year it has been at Running Mums Australia. So many amazing women achieving great things for themselves and in turn their families. For some of you it might have been a year of set backs and disappointment. For some, it was a year of highlights and achievement. No matter what the year … Read more
As RMA we try to seek out the adventure. Well, Ambassador Ana Croger did just that when she decided to embark on her first ultra. This one, in Hong Kong. Although she trained hard, nothing would prepare her for what this race would entail…and so, she lived out the adventure, and learned a fair bit … Read more
It’s been an amazing year both personally for me with my running and watching RMA’s smash their goals all around this country we call Australia and beyond. Phenomenal everyday women, unleashing their strength and potential to chase those dreams and build an amazing community of support and inspiration. Whether your journey has been one of … Read more
My name is Jessica, I’m morbidly obese and at the start of 2017 I decided I was going to start training for a marathon (one day). In January, I stared down at the scales and saw a frightening number. I wondered, how am I even alive? I’m definitely not living! For a few days I … Read more
I love big cities and I love to run. There is no better way of combining my two loves then by entering signature events like the Melbourne Marathon. However, like most of my entries, it usually starts by a flippant ‘yeah sure, I’ll do that with you’ response to a friend months in advance, just … Read more
As I look back I can hardly believe my year. I have run all over this great land of ours and for the first time since I took up running again five years ago I finally ran in my first International event. I was invited to the Queenstown Marathon as an Ambassador. To review and … Read more
