Obstacles, adversities, setbacks - whatever you may choose to call them, are some things, that we do not ever want to cross paths with. But honestly, is it really possible? After spending 2010 in the U.K, doing little running, I was planning on getting back into racing the 2011 Australian...
Hello Runners, This is my first blog for Runner’s Tribe and I hope you all enjoy it. Far from my life story, here are some quick opinions and anecdotes … Being a hatchet: My former school teacher, long time coach and good mate Johnny Meagher is great with an analogy. He described...
12 months ago World Cross Country Trials weren’t really on my mind at all, in fact athletics and running were completely off the radar. After, injuring myself at Falls Creek on a training camp and being diagnosed with medial plica syndrome in my left knee, I had also just...
