50KMS ONE ERROR - PILLIGA ULTRA
Sometimes you do 99% of things perfectly and depending on what the 1% is it has the potential to derail all of your hard work.
I wanted this win bad but even before that a health battle before had me doubting if I would even make it to this really important event that's been 3 years in the making.
A few days spent with wild people in wild nature, pushing ourselves to the limit in the name of environmental protection made this one of my highlights of the year so far.
Sports activism is alive and well thanks to the FWP community and all that they bring to this sport.
Thanks so much for watching and I really hope to see you in The Pilliga next year!

AM I BROKEN?

Have you ever asked yourself the question AM I BROKEN? I'm sure you probably have and yes it sucks but it doesn't have to if we chat it out, learn what we can and move onto the next challenge.

So keen to hear what you think of t...

I'll take you along for the ride during the actual race as we try to run as many 7km tough trail loops as we can in a 24 hour period and then I'll show you the day after how I recover and get back into daily life post-hard-run.

Have never done that before and all other SALOMON athletes use their normal size I just felt I needed to.

      @@dominikseljan3043 hey! I just measured my foot and I’m exactly the same. I usually wear a size UK12.5 in ALL SALOMON but for this shoe I ended up going a full size down. Reason is that for my short distance, fast, race shoes I don’t need the extra room like I do in my longer distance ones. Toes are definitely slightly more crowded in the toe box but makes you feel very much in control of your foot placement in these shoes. Hope that helps!

      Hey! I haven't noticed but also think foam is the least important part of a trail shoe. For me it's all about grip, longevity and stability. Also comfort which I know the foam plays a part in but in terms of foam for performance it's not a big one for me on the trails. Hope you liked the clip though!
