I won’t be telling you anything new if I spend too much time describing all the shit things about social media. If you’re on it, you almost certainly already know. It’s a cesspit for negativity, toxicity, whinging, racism, hate and outrage. And worse, it’s trained people to be all those things in increasing amounts in [...]
It seems one of the catch cries of the time we find ourselves in right now is “but I’m entitled to my opinion” which, more often than not, roughly translated, means “I’m an asshole and don’t give a fuck about your feelings”. Because if someone told you they were upset by something you’d said and [...]
This is not part of my low/no cost races in South Australia, but a guide to the new distance addition to the iconic City2Bay fun run in Adelaide. Traditionally the longest distance has been the 12kms between the city and the bay, but in 2018 they added a half marathon distance so that's what [...]
This run event review's a bit of a different one, and not part of my low/no cost races in South Australia, but a true 'destination marathon' for people from all over the world. I've run it twice now, in 2017 and again this year in 2018, and even though it's a relatively small field, there [...]
As you no doubt know by now, the new 'Dream Crazy' campaign by Nike (below) has already generated a shit tonne of conversation. Rather than add to the obvious "Kaepernick this/Kaepernick that" ruckus, I'd like to point out what no one is saying about it. Does the negative reaction to the Kaepernick component of [...]
Want to come to Cambodia with me in 2019? A little while back I was approached by a friend of mine who was heading to Cambodia towards the end of January 2019 to run an ultra with some friends. She'd been on both my Bali and Cambodia tours previously, and clearly a glutton for punishment, [...]
A few months ago I had this ‘crazy’ idea. But anyone who knows me, knows I have this whole ‘Redefine Crazy' mantra thing going on. So for me, crazy doesn’t get chucked in the (looney) bin, it as often as not, gets done. But first, let me backtrack a little. Five or six years ago [...]
As an addition to my previous article on low and no cost runs in South Australia, I thought I’d do a few reviews of these runs for you. This one’s of The Federation Ultra Trail which also includes a 12.5km, 25km, and 50km distance. This review is of the 50km event, although the second half [...]
As an addition to my previous article on low and no cost runs in South Australia, I thought I’d do a few reviews of these runs for you. This one’s of The Great Southern Half Marathon which also includes a 1.5km kid's run, 10km, and 21.1km half marathon. Location Aldinga, is on the coast, [...]
OK good folks of the internet, here’s the dealio. When people fuck up, or shit goes tits up, the new buzz word is ‘pivot’. We don’t ‘fail’, we ‘pivot’. We change things up. Most importantly, we don’t fucking quit. We dust ourselves off, adjust ourselves, and take off in a new direction. My new direction [...]
