For those of you who don’t know me, I am relatively new to running. I didn’t start in middle school or high school like most other runners. It wasn’t until much later in life that I stumbled into running and fell in love. In the summer of 2016 (when I was 26 years old), I was hit with life-altering news; …
This Part Of The Journey
I am lucky to have people around me who ask the big questions, the tough questions. Its been a looonng couple months as I slooowwwly come back from an Achilles Tendonitis injury. Through it all I’ve had a couple of my healing friends ask questions like, ‘why do you run?’ ‘why are you so attached to running?’ ‘what is the …
A Plan That’s A Plan Is No Plan.
Saturday, April 20, 2019 6:59:50pm – 38 degrees – San Tan Regional Park, Arizona … 10. 9. 8. 7. I turn around, peering through the crowed to see James in the arms of my husband, waving together and saying “by Mommy”. It was in that moment I fought back tears. Running, running ultras is literally the core centre of my …

Ultra Trail Australia 100km
Ambassador Rhiannon just completed the Ultra Trail Australia 100k. We are so proud of her!! Here is her journey!

Journey to the London Marathon
I am Megan. I was a UK size 20 back in 2013 and found it hard to even walk up and down the stairs in my house let alone run. I thought enough was enough especially as I was sick of hearing myself moan! I have suffered with depression/anxiety for over 20 yrs and was on anti-depressants for about 15 of those …
The Journey of Running
I often think back to when my running journey began so that I can remember fully what it is like to be at the beginning of it all. I literally started from nothing. In high school I couldn’t even make it through the 2400m, I was picked last for every activity, and skipped out when ever I could. On a treadmill, I could not last more than a minute, without …
Meet Carre
We met Carre for the first time at our very first retreat in Costa Rica in 2014… from then on we’ve watched this little power house accomplish some pretty amazing things. Everyone meet Carre! Hi, everyone. I am Carre’ and I am addicted to trail running. Sometimes I run on roads and treadmills when I can’t get my fix on …
The Other Side of Racing
Sometimes I, Dayna sit back after a big race and wonder why I do it. I am not competitive and I don’t like running alone. When I first started to trail run I would race to have a fully marketed route, aid stations to fill up supplies, and to celebrate a goal. But now, to be honest I have come …
