No two female runners experience their cycle the same way — the research backs that up. The biggest studies on cycle phase and performance found the effect is trivial. Most cycle-syncing advice runs ahead of the science. What actually works: track your own pattern for a few months. Your body, not a calendar, tells you when to push and when to ease off. Outrun has a full chapter on training with your cycle, iron, and more.

Fast up, slow down — that's the one rule that makes lifting actually work for runners. The slow, controlled lowering phase is where tendons adapt; rush it and you miss most of the benefit.

Outrun breaks down the full tempo and 4-week progression. Learn more at https://www.fitnessfirst.com.au/outrun/

What's the biggest mistake runners make? Running too hard on the days that should be easy, and too easy on the days that should be hard. Coach Matty Abel explains why slowing down is what actually makes you faster.

Another amazing PT success story from our trainer Alex from Fitness First George St and his client Scott 💪🏻

Scott is completely blind, but that hasn’t stopped him from showing up, working hard and having plenty of fun in his sessions - Pretzel, his guide dog, is always close by to join in!!

Alex adapts every session so Scott can train with confidence, challenge himself and keep progressing. No exercise is off limits!

A great reminder of just how important personalised training can be.

Your easy runs are probably too fast. Elite endurance athletes spend roughly 80% of their training at low intensity — most recreational runners spend almost none of it there. Pull your easy days easier. Let your hard day be properly hard. That one change does more for most runners than any other training tweak.

Running is a one-trick pony for your bones. Same load, same direction, thousands of times a session — and bones, joints and tendons only adapt to the load they get.

Strength training does what running can't: multi-directional load, bone density, tendon stiffness. Structured strength work can lift your running economy by 3–8%. On a four-hour marathon, that's minutes off for the same effort.

Meet the coach behind Outrun. Matty Abel has spent 15 years coaching everyone from first-5k nerves to sub-3 marathoners - including Nedd Brockmann across Australia, 3,952km in 47 days. He was Head Coach at Nike from 2017 to 2019, and his own marathon PB is 2:48 — in April 2026 he ran back-to-back sub-3s, Paris then Boston, in the same week.

Every level, same principles. He built OutRun to give everyday runners the other half of the work.
