Hey RMA crew!Hope you had a great week! I caught up with everyone at Sunshine Coast which was awesome. Best weather! Best day! Congrats to everyone that ran! Had a lot of people asking about tight calves this week so thought I would go over a few pieces. Tight calves can be so frustrating because [...]
“The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.”― John Muir As a sport, Trail Running is perhaps one of the most purest pursuits we haveon Earth. It connects us with our primitive past; to a time before our ancestorshad the need for tarmac and pavement. It [...]
This had to be one of my favourite races this season. I just had to share it with you. I first heard about the Southern Highlands Challenge when April, the race director became a member on RMA. She contacted me and asked if we could share her inaugural race with our members. April is an amazing [...]
Hey RMA crew!I got down to River Run 100 last Sunday and caught up with everyone there. Great to see so many Running Mums doing cool stuff raising awareness for Run For Hummingbird House with four teams! How cool is that. While I was there I caught up with Sharon who was talking to me [...]
Well hello there RMA!Running, like-minded mums, bursting with support and positivity-I must be dreaming! I feel like I am part of a special secret club where the currency is endorphins, a go-get it attitude and the ability to multi-task only like a running mother can. I am Anna. I am 37 years old, live on [...]
Today we have something special. The thing that inspires me most about Running Mums Australia is the people I get to meet or hear about and this story struck a real chord with me. Being indigenous in Australia can have a stereotype attached and and also sometimes it comes with an array of family history [...]
The City2Surf (C2S) journey began for me some 10 years ago when I ran/walked the 14km to Bondi with a group of my best-friends. It was a fantastic day full of laughter and great times. Needless to say, at that point, I never thought I’d be a runner and would one day RUN the C2S.This [...]
If you are a keen runner, this situation is no stranger to you. You had everything ready and laid out from the night before and you wake up to the sound of clink clink clink on the roof. Its also dark to add another element of doubt to whether you should go for your your [...]
Hey RMA Crew! Apologies for missing you guys last week, kind of got the renovating bug up here so I‘ve been hibernating. Will had fun catching up with you guys in Melbourne. It looked awesome! Thought I would go through a little bit about foot pain today. I see so many runners with plantar fasciitis [...]
One night in spring last year I was sitting in my lounge room reflecting on the year that had been. I had just run my first official marathon in Sydney and I was reminiscing about all the training and the race itself. I will never forget that day. Its up there with one of the best [...]
If you want to achieve that running goal you’ve set yourself, no matter what it is, you need to train your mind as well as your body. You can’t leave it to race day because more often than not your mind will win – and your mind usually wants you to slow down, give up [...]
I am a Grandmother of 7 Grandchildren and another who has adopted me. I am approaching my 63rd Birthday and have been a fringe dweller in relation to running. Having been involved in Little Athletics for a period of time, I was successful in starting a Tiny Tots Group in our local club teaching high knees [...]
As we walked to the start line of Run Melbourne, I stopped and looked east as we crossed Princes Bridge. The view was breathtaking. As the sun broke through the darkness of the night and promised a kiss of warmth as we ran in the middle of a Melbourne winter, the river sparkled and reflected [...]
