Beyond the Road
Each athlete is as uniquely valued and loved. Their experiences, the ups and the downs, shape who they are today. And these become a story that can encourage and inspire one another. Here to celebrate the athlete’s spirits, for the things beyond the road that is keeping us running.

Nicola Hogg
Nicola finished her last Junior national 1500m with a new PB of 4:15.13 and a 🥈. She will be racing at the World U20 Champs in the 1500m and 3000m, then she will head off to Stanford University to continue her academic and athletic pursuits 🇺🇸
Jai Gordon
Jai claimed the national U20 100m title in 10.28(0.7). His first win in four years, another PB and World Junior Qualifier. But what made this moment so special was the joy of racing with his teammate and his heart to inspire the next generation.
Paige Campbell
Paige placed fourth in 9:09.92, just behind her twin Holly (9:08.03) at the National 3000m Championships. They are the hardest working twin I know. Whether working, running or cross-training, they are always showing up and giving their best. So it was such a special moment to see them finishing together at a national event.
Ivy Boothroyd
Meet Ivy (@ivyboothroydrunning_ ) and this is her story at the NSW Junior Championships. Another very young talented rising star in the 400m and 800m. Big goals to chase but this is why we dream!
Connor Bond
Meet Connor (@connor__bond) and this is his story at the NSW Junior Championships 🏆 Connor took the sprint doubles, ran his second PB of the meet and World U20 qualifier of 21.20. But what inspired me the most is his joy and love for his friends on the track and his humbleness.

Moving states, adapting to remote coaching and changes, then overcoming disappointment and finding confidence again. Here is a glimpse into the life of Monique as she chases her Olympic dream.

The Place We Call Home
After finishing a university degree, what will you do if you have a gap year? Well, Matt went on a mission to explore Australia. Matt was one of my friends who introduced me to ultra trail running back in 2020. Ever since then, he has continually pushed the boundary and went on so many adventures. Here he shares his favourite runs from each state and of his 655fortakayna project.
Alex Shaw
Meet Alex (@agshawry ), and this is his typical Tuesday morning. Always working hard. Always with a cheerful smile at the start and finish. 🙌🏻
Returning to Running after COVID
Nobody knows the long-term impact of Covid yet, especially the wellbeing and performance of athletes. I met up with Nick and had an insightful conversation on how Covid has impacted his training.
