So cool af to get out to the ippnz warehouse today and chat at length to Will and Nick and get kindly kitted out with some epic af running gears today! It's so appreciated when nz companies who are holding it together in these crazy economic times take time to listen and hear about what your striving for and get on board' supporting in any way they can and will be an active and solid part of my journey to IRUNSUDAN1023!

Time for an update on the progress' thoughts and leadup to the most challenging running expedition I will have ever embarked on! Irunsudan1000 where I will be running just over 100km a week for 10 weeks throughout The Sudan' that's a not insignificant 1023km pacing through the khaotic streets of Khartoum to the rural villages' through the incredible deserts and pyramids and highways of Sudan! This is planned at this stage for May June July ish of 23
The reason I have created Irunsudan1000 is to raise funds for young and aspiring athletes in Sudan' primarily muaythai athletes and young committed runners' who don't have the gear or equipment they need to train properly' the "gyms" that don't have the most basic of kit or dedicated' trained professional coaches' athletes and coaches that don't have access to so much that we ourselves take forgranted in sport' to provide for them opportunities' to grow' develop and evolve to their potential in their chosen sports' with a view to reaching a point where they can achieve their dreams of representing their country and supporting their familes' ! I want to raise 20k at a minimum to have major and positive lasting impact on the lives of these athletes'
I will very soon be putting a callout to get a number of various tier sponsors to come on board' Irunsudan1023 and put their money where their support is at just $1 per km that I.am running' $1023 can do so.much to changes lives and makes dreams reality!

Training is underway' getting in time on feet and kms logged' I'm still definitely just in a building stage' creating a solid base but that's fine' I'm strong' focused and know what I need to do and the conditioning needed for IRUNSUDAN1000'
Tailwindnutrition.co.nz is my fueling sponsor who have my back and I love the gears' their endurance works really well' does what it says and goes down a treat with no gut issues and tastes amazing' the post training recovery' is the best af reward' it's delicious af and soaks into your soul!

A shout out to Mealamu Security' is one of Team Diamonds most passionate supporters' and I can't think luke and his crew enough for their $$$ and belief in our quest to change lives of young athletes in Sudan! To give them a chance! A hope! The opportunity they need!
Please keep a watch h on this page as things gain traction in the leadup to this incredible running expedition!
Thank you Caitalin

Ffs that was brutal' beautiful yeah ok maybe but brutal absolutely! I'm still building and getting stronger and so it was tough for me' but in honesty was my mental game....give me a legit desert and all it emcompasses' or a highway to the horizon and I'm legit in my element' running like a metronome' in awe and wonder at the experience' and I do it' just keep running through that fxxker totally zoned and amped by it....give me a trail run with massive elevation' mud and I'm just like 'fxxk this s**t..wtf is this s**t'
