Almost 4 years ago and will stand by this being most important work before a 200 miler . I believe you must run at night on tired legs and practice having short sleeps and the important part to get use to is to wake up get dressed and go again . If you have races that may require a nap please practice it made things on race day so much easier . Coach Steffan
2025 was one hell of a year , caught up with friends and made new ones and ran a little too.

Well what a day a 50 km run from Kaiaua to Clevedon through forestry roads and open road. Beautiful views and runnable course with about 1200 metres of elevation . The main challenge of the day was the heat it was hot and there was no escape but that just adds to the fun . Had a fantastic day with some tough spots thrown in there for added fun. I’ll be back next year going for a faster time .

🏔️ The Great Naseby Water Race 200 Mile – What an Adventure!
60 hours. 200 miles. 1 unforgettable journey.
Coach Maree and I made the long trek from the North Island down to Naseby — camper, crew, and all — ready for another crack at this wild race. From the first lap, it was about rhythm, patience, and staying true to the Lydiard principles: aerobic effort, consistency, and trust in the process.
Through the day and deep into the night, my crew kept me fuelled and focused. The second night was tough — cold, fatigue, and those moments where the miles start to blur — but we just kept moving. Loop after loop, one step at a time.
Crossing the line after 200 miles in 60 hours and 48 minutes — a 5-hour PB — made every challenge worth it.
Massive thanks to my wife, Coach Maree, my family, and friends who kept me going every step of the way.
This race reminded me why we do this — to test limits, to grow, and to find joy in the journey.
