Hello Runner’s Tribers! It’s been a few moons since my last bloggage eh? Not to say that nothing has been happening worthy of mention, but I still hold pretty high expectations of my running, so I guess I’m probably being pretty harsh on the results this year – and...
I began my career as a recreational runner after finishing up as a competitive swimmer of 12 years. I have now been running for three years and am a runner with Boobs on the Run (BotR).

On April 10th, 2015, I had surgery to remove bone spurs that had grown in my first MTP joint. A successful procedure that fixed my injury problems....
A few days ago, I was excited to be given the opportunity to write my first blog for RunnersTribe. For those of you who already know me, being given free reign to write about ‘whatever I want’ is a potentially dangerous prospect! Nonetheless, I thought I would actually take...
Hi all! My name is Colby Eddowes, I’m 19 years old and I compete for the South Canberra Tuggeranong Athletics Club in the ACT. Up until last September (2020) I was a fully pledged decathlete having won the silver at the Australian u17 championship in 2018 and gold in...
