For the past 10 years it’s been running, strength and mobility for me. Recently I’ve added swimming and cycling. I still swim like a brick and wouldn’t know how to change my tyre if I got a flat out there 😂 but it’s been nice having new disciplines in my routine.

After the damage I did to my foot on the big lap, multiple doctors told me I’d likely never run again. Then I found Dr Kinchington, one of the best podiatrists in the country, and Beau and Harry my physios Beau | Physiotherapist | Sydney and online Harry Lord | Running Physio | Novice Bike Packer in collaboration with The Running Room 👣. In two years we’ve made great ground. It’s not lost on me how lucky I am to have access to specialists like them. Over that time I’ve had messages from people battling Freiberg’s disease from all over the world, who’ve been off running for 3 years, 5 years, or longer.

Cross training alongside running lets me gradually reload the foot and build back the engine. I’m not just driven to get back to where I was. I want to be better.

Noosa Tri is on November 1. I have no idea what time I’ll do. The swim will be a battle. The ride should be ok. The run will be fun, a chance to throw down again over a short distance in my third race of the year. The main thing for me though is the day will be a little celebration of getting outside my comfort zone, grateful for what these new disciplines have opened up for my training and lifestyle going forward.

2027 will be a huge year back in the ultra running and racing community I love. I’ve got to earn the right back there first though, one step at a time.

Wharfie time might be dead but comeback season is alive and well 🎸

Such a fun weekend crewing and getting amongst the atmosphere at

Backyard ultras are the biggest party!! I honestly cannot wait to experience it myself running in one for the first time in 2027 🤜

While I did sneak out for a few quick unofficial yards before my runners came back, last weekend was about crewing members of the SBRC and communities , , .cook.11 and alongside 🙌

Meagan and I spent hours crewing and laughing at ourselves. Saturday night, and we’re cheering on people running in circles. So grateful to be part of this ultra running community and to have found other psychos who get it 😂🕺

I received these photos the other day from Golf Management Australia, from my keynote that closed the ASTMA x GMA National Conference in June at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. It was an honour to close the conference in front of hundreds of people.

My first corporate keynote was back in 2019, for CVA Real Estate. Years of refining the craft got me to rooms like this one.

People think I get up there and talk about running around Australia, and leave it there. I don’t. I’m sharing with people how to win The Run Within, the battle of two voices we all carry. Voice One wants comfort. Voice Two wants results and demands discipline.

My keynote is built on what pressure reveals, how resilience is developed, and why ownership drives results.

I help corporate and sporting teams perform when it counts, and individuals do the same, choosing discipline over fear in their personal lives.

The run is the proof, not the point.

Race 2 of my comeback season 🇵🇭💪

This wasn’t the plan. I extended my stay in the Philippines and somehow ended up racing a road half marathon in Siquijor.

With the race starting at 3am, and it already being 28 degrees, it was bloody hard from the start to the finish! Pair that with the fact I raced off sour worms and coke rather than my normal pure gels and tailwind, it was certainly an adjustment for the gut 😂

The biggest win of all is my foot pulled up really well, and it has given me enormous confidence leading into the next training block and future events 🏃‍♂️

Genuinely so happy to be back racing, having fun and getting amongst the running community that I love again. It was great to see so many Filipinos loving their running and to share this experience with them 🙌

I couldn’t recommend to others enough to go and experience a race in south east asia. The Zumba warm ups and cool downs was so fun!

A long way off my PB half (a whole 19 mins 🤪) but it’s a start. There were some impressive athletes on the course for me to try and chase, and I finished 14th of the 539 runners.

Huge thanks to Smoke10 Events Management ISLA DEL FUEGO Marathon for putting on such an awesome and epic event! 🇵🇭🙌

Giddy up! 🐎

Super sore quads and hammies after the race but good sore. The DOMS you want, knowing you earned them💪

I don’t think travelling from Siquijor to Cebu, Cebu to Manila, Manila to Brisbane and Brisbane to the GC straight after the race helped my recovery 😂 but it’s good to be back on the Goldy after an awesome trip 🇵🇭

Thanks to everyone who has checked in after the race. I couldn’t be more positive about where I’m heading. Racing on the road was by far the biggest test I’ve put my foot through since the big lap, and it’s pulled up cherry ripe. We keep building 💪 Giddy up 🐎

Back home on the Gold Coast now after 24 hours of travel from Siquijor yesterday morning. What an epic few weeks that was in the Philippines 🇵🇭

60km in the legs amongst travel and a race is a big win this week. Stoked to get my second race in for the year as I continue to build back💪

Race 2 of comeback season ✅ 🐎

That felt horrific from start to finish 😂 but I still had fun because it’s just so good to be back out there, and because half marathons are genuinely a party in the Philippines 🇵🇭 🙌

Dance warm ups, dance cool downs, and Jollibee when you cross the finish line 🕺

Smoke10 Events Management your races are a vibe! Thank you for the epic atmosphere 🙌

At 3am tomorrow morning I’m racing again!

Race 2 in my comeback season from my near career-ending foot injury following the run around Australia.

This wasn’t the plan. It was supposed to be a trail race, the Coastal Crunch 28K last weekend on the Goldy, but with my online work and the opportunity to continue travelling, I took advantage of that, and I’ve now found myself racing a road half marathon in Siquijor, Philippines, alongside 500 other people.

This will be such a fun and epic experience. I genuinely have no idea what I’ll run because I’ve only run easy and steady predominantly, with a just a few tempo runs since coming back. So my plan is to hold a 7RPE for the first 16K, and then see if the body has any kiiiiiiiiiiiiick in the final 5.

It’ll be a long way off my best, but not every race needs to be a PB. This one will be about having as much fun as possible in an international race, coming away injury free and continuing to build back 💪

What a privilege. Can’t wait to rip in again!
