Smokin’ Hot French Ultrarunner New Shoe Crush!!
How Monique Kicked my Ass 16,000km
To better understand that title, head over to Hypoactive where you can see it in context. They’re a group for genuinely active type 1 diabetics, and Monique Hanley is their pedal-turning headkicker. She’s actually ultra-lovely and pretty much the main reason I got it together to apply for Medtronics Global Heroes Program, which is sending […]

Damn sloppy – too much running, not enough blogging? Ha, no such thing as too much running. And I certainly haven’t been doing it if there is. It’s a nervous exciting freaked out busy time.

You had me at “seriously hardcore ballerinas in black tutus doing 9 minutes of interpretive dance to modern hip-hop”. And screw Vevo for ad-infecting this sonically gorgeous oddity.

In breaking news from Sydney’s charitable OxFam Trailwalker 100km trail run/walk (f@%& you, Galloway!!), the hastily organised team of sub-elite running walkers built around Ultra168 hard man, Darrel Robins, announced that they’re going to go slow.

Despite not otherwise feeling bad, I gave up mentally. I just stopped and walked for a couple hundred meters of runnable terrain and over the next 2-3k mixed in much more walking that I had been doing over the previous 15k. It’s hard know that this defeat was almost entirely mental. – Bryon Powell, WS2011, […]

I prefer to not have bad patches 🙂 but it is a reality of life. We have to keep moving forward even when things are tough. Ultras teach us a lot of life lessons if we are open to learning them. – Krissy Moehl, 2011 Make sure to check out the latest issue of Outer […]
