The only person you should be competing against is yourself. That’s right. You, and only you. Read that again. Remember it when you start trending towards comparisonitis. The only person you should be competing against is yourself. I’ve always identified myself as some form of athlete, in the most amateur of ways, but the last… Read More
Running the 2023 Gold Coast Marathon was epic. I’m bias, the course is one of the best in the world, okay so not that I can judge, I haven’t run a marathon anywhere else, yet, but I’ve heard that Gold Coast ranks up there. I was nervous to run the Gold Coast Marathon. I hadn’t… Read More
Marathon training is generally a long endeavour. The recommended minimum amount of time is usually 16-20 weeks with 3-5 runs per week, and includes running up to 32km in one hit. I did none of that.

GC30 Main Beach is such an amazing event. The location is perfect (The Spit, Main Beach), with water views throughout the run, trails in the middle of it all (gotta watch the foot placement as you run), and fantastic support along the course from volunteers and spectators.

Turning 40. It happened to me, last week. I thought I’d have a lot to say, to ponder, to express, but really age is just a number, isn’t it? 4-0. Two numbers joined together, nothing more nothing less. It’s just another birthday, another year around the sun, and while you might expect to wake up… Read More
The diet industry is a billion dollar industry that’s playing with our health. The steps to being a healthier you don’t revolve around living off counting your macros and slogging away at the gym every day. You can if you want to, but most of us mere mortals don’t have the luxury to revolve our… Read More
Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. I agree to a point. These days with the popularity of intermittent fasting – or skipping breakfast – the importance has reduced. It all depends on where you stand and what shiny new thing the dieting industry has come up with to sell you… Read More
Staying fit and healthy with your kids is one of the best investments you can make. Kids are enormous bubbles of energy . They have the ability to wake up as energiser bunnies and continue on throughout the day as if they’re on a sugar high. It’s awesome. But for parents it can be exhausting.… Read More
