After my pitiful effort at the 24 hour Rogaine last year I sought redemption. The Winter Wander 6 hour was the perfect battleground. I signed up alongside Ziggy and had high hopes of an improved performance. Ziggy has plenty of orienteering experience, but he’d never Rogained. He was meant to be on the 24 hour … Read more
Training load is a baffling topic. After being confused by all of the different numbers coming from Garmin, Strava, intervals.icu and training peaks I finally decided to look in to what all of the numbers actually mean. Understanding the numbers was the easy part. The deeper I dug the more I realised these numbers are … Read more
There is something brutal but brilliant about winter in Tasmania. It forces you to soldier on, get outside, and embrace the cold. This week, I’m channeling that exact energy into a classic, old blog update. A lot has changed since my last post; I walked away from an 11 year career stint, took a short … Read more

They are an Australian brand that genuinely cares about the environment and the trail running community, two things that matter a lot to me.

Diverge is a brand new event on the Tassie race calendar and I couldn’t resist getting amongst it for the first iteration. I jumped in deep signing up for the 50k with little knowledge of what I was in for. I’d never ran any of the trails and went in completely blind. I had been … Read more
Buffalo Stampede was epic! Ziggy and I headed over and jumped in the deep end, both taking on the Ultra Grand Slam. It was a challenging three days of running. I somehow walked away with the win and Ziggy somehow finished after an epic battle. I’ve done a vlog of the weekend which you can … Read more
If you have followed this blog for a while, you know that one of my core values is keeping trail running cheap and accessible. While I love gear, I firmly believe that you shouldn’t need a massive bank account to get quality data and enjoy the trails. This mindset is what led me to look … Read more
Piotr and I headed off late in the day to fastpack into South Cape Rivulet to meet Lauren and her large cohort of hikers. She was completing the Port Davey and South Coast tracks. My job was to be her lift home so I decided to take the opportunity to test out my fast packing … Read more
