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 Murray River Trail Running Festival which also includes a 3km, 5km, and 10km distance. Location Murray Bridge is a tad under 75kms [...]
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 Salisbury Half Marathon which also includes a 2km, 5km, and 10km distance. Location Salisbury is about 20kms north of Adelaide, and about a [...]
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 Orrorroo Half Marathon which also includes a 5km and 10km distance plus a scramble for the kids. Location Orrorroo is about 280kms north [...]
OK, so I’ll admit the quality of the bling on offer plays a part in helping me decide what running/adventure race events I’ll enter these days. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t do an event I’m completely uninterested in just because it has good bling. But, ah, actually, scratch that, maybe I might. You know, [...]
One of the things I’ve always loved about running is how simple and accessible it is to everyone as far as sports go. All you need is some clothes, (depending on where you run, I guess), and a pair of running shoes, (again, maybe, maybe not), and off you go. Sure, plenty of us get [...]
I had a really interesting conversation with a friend yesterday about how she felt during her triathlon last weekend. She was describing how shitty she felt during it and how she was basically plotting and planning how she could pull out almost all the way through it. Three things struck me as interesting about this [...]
With its retro, glow in the dark theme, it would be easy to classify the Afterglow Half Marathon as little more than one of those novelty runs that are all the rage these days, but make no mistake, this is a serious, and seriously beautiful twilight trail run event. For me though, a race is [...]
When I first started running, it was a very steep learning curve indeed. Mostly, I learned by doing - the right things, but as often as not, the wrong things as well. So I decided I'd put a book together called Running Away from Dinosaurs with the best stories, tips and advice I could think [...]
In 2012, I went to Nepal to run the Manaslu Mountain Trail Race. To say it didn’t go quite according to plan would be a bit of an understatement. But hey, shit happens, and it made for some fairly interesting videos. Here’s a bunch of ‘webisodes’ about what went up, and down. View the trailer [...]
When I first started running back in 2010, it was a very steep learning curve. Like, super "holy shit!" steep. I basically had no idea what I was doing but, obviously, as some people do, or at least as I often do, decided signing up to run the New York Marathon would be a good [...]
