Biggest week yet – Week 12 of Maratraining
I’m going to try and keep it short and sweet this week. I had huge week and even bigger weekend which is why I didn’t quite get around to publishing my usual Sunday digest. This week of training was all about keeping focus and working through my hip injury. I popped ibuprofens like they were lollies, gave Mr Foam Roller a workout and had some therapeutic massage. I didn’t skip a km of training and I’m...
Conquering the Ross Half – Week 9 of Maratraining

I pushed through and stuck to the program despite the chorus of evil voices in my head telling...

My boss rang and asked me to pack my bags and head to the head office in Sydney for the week to...

I think I’m getting into the groove of things and really enjoying stretching my legs on the longer runs. I had a my first “injury” this week (more about that later) and finished the week running the race that started it all – the Hobart Budget Fun Run....
Fitness Pattaya Hilton Style
After my workout this morning I just had to do a follow up to my last blog about fitness in BKK and share my Pattaya experience. I won’t ramble on about how awesome I think the Hilton is because I’ll save that for another time but I’m warning you I’m about to rave on and wax lyrical about this gym. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the gym attendant. The space is very small but they pack a lot in. There...
