Gold Coast Marathon weekend was one of the highlights of the year for Running Mums Australia. The spirit of the marathon was certainly something that our girls got into. Whether it was the 10k, the Half marathon or the full marathon, everyone gave it their all and it was a fun and inspiring event. We [...]
On Saturday 6th July 2014, I completed my first ever marathon and I am still coming down off the high. It was such an emotional day for me that I wanted to share my story. It didn’t go to plan but I finished, and I finished with a memory that I will have forever!! When [...]
Hey RMA crew! Hope you had a great weekend! We had crazy fun with the Gold Coast Marathon and it was awesome to catch up with so many running mums on the day. There were RMA crew from Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and everyone there did amazing with heaps of PB’s as well. If you [...]
I’ve only been a runner for just 2 years. I’m 54 years old now and a Nana to Jack and Georgie (4 & 2). I’ve always played netball most of my adult life, only stopping about 7yrs ago due to knee injuries. Then I put on heaps of weight. I was about 85kg. I had [...]
Let me preface this and say I was never ever in my wildest dreams going to contemplate to run a 3 hour 20 minute marathon. It is at this point in my marathon days a far away dream at best. A good dream to try to achieve none-the less! I was recently allowed the chance [...]
A few weeks ago in the Facebook group we ran a competition for some of our awesome running mums to win a copy of this months issue of Women's Running Magazine. The question I asked was "What does it mean to be a running woman". To me, being a running woman (and mother) means that [...]
Hi girls. I have quite a few awesome little giveaways coming up on the page in the next few weeks and this is one of them! This giveaway is going to be a monthly giveaway thanks to our friends at Tailwind Nutrition. Each month, we will be asking for nominations of RMAers that have been [...]
Hey Running Mums! Paul here. I slept in this morning ready for my 3am start tomorrow! One more sleep till Gold Coast guys! Can’t wait to catch up with everyone. It’s kind of like Christmas for runners! I know I’ll see a lot of you tomorrow and there are also tons of RMA crew preparing [...]
Some of us shyly say ‘oh no I don’t run, I jog’. At what point is the transition? Speed? Distance? As far as I’m concerned it’s sweat and tears!!!! So, Hi I’m Jayde and its official…… I am a Running Mum. 3 years ago I was pregnant and about to give birth to my [...]
Well girls, the time is almost here where we descend on the Gold Coast and give it all we have got. For most of us competing it has been months and months of preparation. Training physically and mentally for this race. Wether its the 10km, the half marathon or the marathon, this week is critical [...]
(image credit: thesportinmind.com) Hey RMA crew, With Gold Coast coming up next week I wanted to talk just a little about warm ups today because I know there’s a bit of confusion out there with so many different options for warming up. There will be some runners out there who talk about warming up [...]
Like everyone, I have a list of "special" places - places that are so unique and beautiful that they take your breath away. For me it's Te Anau in New Zealand (and the Kepler Challenge!), Queenstown, Patagonia and Sydney Harbour (I'm biased). Since 2012, when I first participated in the Glow Worm Trail Marathon Weekend, [...]
