Many people kept this habit going, and the running community boomed. Speak with any race director or running store and [...]

After my daughter was born in June 2019, I had plans to get back into training as soon as possible to run a marathon in 2020. I got my six week check up, saw a pelvic floor physio and started slowly building up my training. My first goal was to do the 10km at the [...]
In the dwindling months of my 30’s, my family asked me what I wanted for my 40thbirthday. My answer: “A marathon”. As mum to Henry (8), Braden (6) and Tahra (nearly 2) the best present anyone could get me is 4-5hrs of peace and quiet. My life is beautiful chaos. I juggle part-time work, study, mumming [...]

I have a bit of history with the Running Wild NSW Glenbrook runs. In 2013 I ran the Mt Portal 16km after a day working a hazard reduction burn with the RFS, and, as there had also been burns in the mountains that weekend, the air was full of smoke. It was hard, I was [...]
Growing up I was a daddy’s girl. I followed my dad around the farm, ate what he ate, drank what he drank (like drinking tea at aged 4!). My dad was a hard working, ‘salt of the earth’ farmer and a father to 5 children. But under his tough exterior he was a softy and [...]
I entered this marathon eager to race but unsure of how I will go. In the few weeks leading up to the race I hurt my knee and recovery took a while. I was really looking forward to this race so I decided to still go in and have a great day. Luckily my knee [...]
