Westlink M7 Cities Marathon

AKA ‘the M7‘ kicks off at 7am tomorrow from somewhere in the middle of Edward Scissorhand Land in Prestons. Meaning I’m up way past bedtime, but not for long. Doing the half-marathon pairs with the humiliatingly faster Brent from Negative Split as we’re both working for PBs over the distance. The closest I have to […]

Hill Sets

Awesome running tune. When I was tweeting for AROC from the North Face 100 a couple of months ago, this came on at just the right time and got me up the much-loved Kedumba Pass. I asked my crew to thank Iron Maiden for it in the 89km tweet but either they’re music-illiterate or I […]

Latest Hoka News

Fresh to hand and from the horse’s Hendra-free mouth: Whole bunch of Hoka headed down under.

Hi Carb H2O Beating Runner’s Gut

Go halves with a buddy, order it from here, and punch in the discount code ROGER2011 for 25% off. That works out around $52 for 1200g, which is the equivalent carb content of 50 gels or 30 highly portable cans of Coke. I’m madly keen on this product because it would have totally saved my […]

Great interview in Outside Magazine

I hadn’t previously heard of author Tim Ferris but am definitely looking his stuff up after reading this interview… http://www.outsideonline.com/fitness/mental-conditioning/The-Life-Hacker.html example…But isn’t the greatest hurdle just getting people motivated in the first place? I would actually say that motivation is not the question. The real question is: What are the incentives? Let’s say I created […]

Hoka’s Now in Australia – Bondi B road shoe review

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from Sydney runners about the Hoka Bondi B’s. So, instead of feeling like a dirty stalker and asking for everybody’s emails (I have a pair in the van, come and have a look, heh heh heeeeeeeh….) here’s the review. Short version: they take a little time to get […]

Previewing North Face 100, Sydney Blue Mountains 2011

Absolutely great article by Pat Kinsella in the latest issue of Outer Edge Magazine. Read all about the hot international and local talent that will be fighting it out up Kedumba Walls this May in what will likely be the fastest, hardest, most throwdown, drag-out, ass-kicking North Face 100 ever. Such a good read (apart […]

How to make a trailrunning video

Actually, this is just a good excuse to show one of the sweetest bits of trail video I’ve seen – steady camera work, great location, good running, and no soggy acoustic guitar trying to capture the beauty of the moment. Why? because it’s already obvious, that shit just cheapens it. I reckon. Originally posted by […]
