    Did surf coast trail marathon today. Torquay to Fairhaven, prob about 30% on the beach and 70% on single trail. Beach running was nasty at points. Picturesque course, have been meaning to do this for years. At about the 35k mark I was thinking I’m never racing again. At home tonight...

    Not really mate, pacing at Sydney Mara (3:10) and will race Melb Mara. Very tempted to do surf coast trail Mara in June. 100% you’re an ultra marathoner now and well deserved. Would love to see a longer post from you when you’re up to it on things like you mentioned and how you found the...

    Congrats mate, that is a top shelf run. Well done. The stairs are something else. You’re an ultra marathoner!

    Thanks mate, and to you for your epic 80km in the Cradle Mountain run! I feel like I’ve been pulverised today, such a brutal race is hut to hut. Relentless. The guys who run DU say H2H is the toughest 100k in Australia. Looking forward to seeing you line up next year!

    Devastated about this, reminds me of Sammy Wanjiru who died at the peak of his powers. I ran in Kiptums last race, not that I would ever have believed it.

    Esp the new Apple Watches with the ECG function etc. Good luck with it, hope the mediation can settle it down. What is the name of this ticker issue?

    No specific plan for me mate, have never used one. Standard marathon training but with longer long runs and overall more time on feet during the week. Oh and more vert, which generally means more trail running and finding some big juicy hills. You need to get the legs ready for slow steady...

    Best of luck mate. You won’t have any trouble finding the 3:10 pacers. They will be probably about 30m - 40m from the start line, but will arrive 10 or so minutes before the gun so you’ll have time to spot them and get near to them. I’ve paced before and instructions are to run even splits...

    A nice pb for me at Chicago, a 2:47:30. Gave it everything and thought I might blow up, but hung in quite well. Amazing flat course and loud crowds. Got my six star finisher medal too, so feeling pretty overwhelmed, had a bit of a cry when I saw the Misso at the end. A world record run too by...

    I had runners knee a few years ago and also saw a physio who recommended occlusion therapy for the knee, which I could do at home with stretchy bands. Worked a treat and if I ever get a niggle now, I do it for a few days and away goes the pain. But, yours could be anything so perhaps a bit...

    Yep 2019 and can’t add much to Roo202 above, but definitely train on hill, hills and more hills. And lots of steps if you can. Mentally don’t think about the entire 100, break it down in to sections and take each as it comes. You will absolutely go through highs and lows, so when you’re in the...

    Low iron is def a possible reason for runner fatigue, and esp for females. Ferritin levels can be checked with a blood test, but should be something greater than 30 or so. Have heard of semi elite runners getting transfusions and it making a big difference. Not that any of us are semi elite...

    Well done mate, that is a super effort and really enjoyed your write up. 3:25 for a first mara is a terrific run. So many learnings for you. Keep your chin up, display that medal front and centre, and feel proud you did something most don't.

    Sounds pretty good! You are looking at 1 before and about 5 during. You may find > 30km they're a bit trickier to open (the brain is a bit mushy), I'd be curious with your feedback on this.
