Hello, Well things have been a little on the quiet side here as I recover from my ankle injury. 9 weeks later. Today was my first run post minor surgery, and all feeling good. Just in time. I have a 50km trail Ultra to run in Saturday (3 days away..yikes!) then a steady 20km … Continue reading
Wow, this week past has been slack..yet I feel like I have worked hard… My ankle has given me so much grief that my running has been seriously reduced, and what running I have been doing has been at a much slower pace, to be gentle on my ankle. Then Tuesday I went down for … Continue reading
Well as usual another interesting week behind me. So I had a minor surgery on my left foot with a small stone being removed that was actually tapping against my foot bone.

Another week, another long run, another trail done! Am so lucky to be part of a very enthusiastic inclusive un-official “training group” for our 6 inch trail ultra marathon. Our group has a pretty diverse range of abilities and endurance/speed capacities. But in true trail spirit, this does not matter. Running as a group encourages … Continue reading
One of the main reasons for this blog is to answer questions people raise when they see me run barefoot. To be honest, half the time it takes me a few hours to consider the question before I can answer it holistically. I am a very pragmatic kind of individual, so when people ask me … Continue reading
Good morning. I have previously mentioned that I now have a Garmin Forerunner 620. Having never used a sports watch before, and being a bit analytical by nature, I am mesmerised with all the stats provided. So for me to have perfect form and or technique in running, I pretty much need to hit the … Continue reading
