Road to 100k part 1. By Nicole Bunyon

I have been on this running journey for a long time now, and I am particularly interested in distance running.

The Lamington Eco Challenge – August 13-14, 2016 by Lauren Shay

Can you do it twice? It was a dare. The question posed by the Lamington Eco Challenge taunted me. Could I do a 42km trail run twice in two days? Sure, there were 8km and 21km options, but I am too stubborn – some might say foolish! – to not throw myself at a challenge … Read more
