Hi, I’m Rhydian. Over the past decade, I’ve had the honour of putting on the Australian vest a number of times, usually in the 20km walk, including at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. As an athlete who predominantly focuses on the walks as...
In mid to late 2016 Sean Guiney and I rather jokingly set ourselves two season goals: get a photo showing us keeping up with an Olympian at training; and be asked to write an article for RunnersTribe.   The first was achieved in a matter of weeks, largely thanks...

Last but not least… the countless options of trails!The town of Bright is surrounded by pine forests and these Logging roads make for some nice running. Snowy Creek road is a great option for a long out and back run, the Cherry Walk Nature trail follows the river- its flat and smooth under foot and great for sessions. Finally, If you want flat cycle-path: the Murray to mountains rail trail (Wangaratta to Bright) is approximately 85km.
I wanted to share with you my experience at Big Sky in Bright, and how this experience is different from what I feel when at home in Sydney. My auxiliary training (everything outside of my sessions) in Bright was almost identical to what I’d do in Sydney. I had one run that was longer than what I’d normally do, but that was really it. However, there were two things that were drastically different during my time here- the altitude I slept and recovered at, and the different styles of session that I experienced as a result of being here. This feeds in to my discussion of altitude training versus the training camp effect.
By Anna Laman for Runner's Tribe 2020 was an incredible year for me, returning back to racing on Australian soil brought me an incredible amount of purpose and true happiness. I’ve got my training partner, Davina Smith, and new coach Alija Kajan, to thank for helping me get back on...
