My prolific year has continued to deliver. In the past month I’ve travelled interstate twice, raced three times, bought a house, and boarded a plane to Vietnam for another race. I started drafting this post on that flight, hoping to get it down before race week swept me up. Sidenote: I’m finishing this post now, … Read more
After a few good months of health and fitness I am yet again struck down with a cold. I snuffle as I type and lament the missed long runs this weekend in favour of recovery. But it has given me time to type this post out without having to rush too much. This is another … 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
This is a shorter post than usual. I haven’t had time to work on much writing despite now being unemployed. But I need to stay consistent and maintain my status as a prolific writer. The main announcement in this post is that I have been working on an improved Tassie Trail Race directory. It still … Read more
I set myself the goal of being prolific this year and it feels like it’s happening. Just when I thought my running calendar was winding down for the winter months, George decided to enter the UTA100 and wanted me up there as support crew. Who am I to say no to a weekend at Australia’s … Read more
It’s been a while since I did a general life update post. This one will fill in some gaps of things I have been up to in the last month since the Western Arthurs mission. I have been embracing the ‘yes man’ mentality and agreeing to do more things than I probably should. It has … Read more
Editors note: This is the third post in the series about the 2025 GPT100 miler. It is a guest post by Miranda Yovich about her experience crewing for Ziggy (related post here). We may have employed AI to generate some images in this post due to a lack of photos from the night shift crewing. … Read more
I am begrudgingly writing this post because I have a strict deadline tonight. I would much rather be spending my time preparing for the 100 miler next week and relaxing. Still, writing is a good way to reflect on my taper and preparations so far, and it’ll be something worthwhile to look back on in … Read more
The GPT100 is a few weeks away and it is starting to take over my thoughts. I’ve been training pretty much all year, so it’s always been on the back of my mind. But now, as the day fast approaches it’s moved to the forefront. I am constantly visualising and strategising. It’s exciting but the … Read more
The last two weeks didn’t exactly go to plan. My hopes for a 60km race and some serious running were dashed as sickness continues to plague me. Despite this setback I had a great trip to Cairns visiting my sister and gradually recovered from my illness. Only to catch another virus on the return flight … Read more
