Do things that scare you. Noosa Bolt 5k - only 9x shorter than the distance I’m training for. Going into this race half my mind was in the “what am I doing thinking I can compete with some of Aussies best middle distance athletes?!” and the other side of my brain was saying “why would you not put yourself in it? What have you got to lose?” I haven’t raced a 5km on road since I was at high school. This distance scares me even more than a 50km. But that’s exactly why I did it. I wanted to prove to myself that I CAN DO things that terrify me. I had the best time racing in my hometown streets, with the best atmosphere and insane competition. Stoked to get 6th in this stacked field and run a sub 16.40. And take the new ALPHA FLY 4s for a quick spin. Now back to the trails. Thanks for the pics queen 📸👑 @itsjaclee

Rachel Apa, 24, of Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, tragically passed away after collapsing near mile 24 of the New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 1, 2026. What makes this heartbreaking story even more devastating is the reason Rachel chose to run. She dedicated her first marathon to her beloved grandfather, who passed away from Parkinson’s disease in 2022. Rachel had spent months training for the 26.2-mile challenge and raising money for the Parkinson’s Foundation through its Parkinson’s Champions team. She wanted to honor her grandfather’s memory while helping others affected by the disease. A former Division I field hockey player at Bucknell University, Rachel was a lifelong athlete. After she collapsed in Central Park, bystanders and race medical personnel rushed to help, performing lifesaving efforts before she was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she later died. According to her family’s account, doctors attributed her death to rhabdomyolysis, a serious condition involving muscle breakdown. Her passing is a devastating reminder that behind every marathon bib is a person, a family, a dream, and a reason for running. Rachel may not have crossed the finish line, but the love and purpose behind every mile she ran in her grandfather’s honor will never be forgotten. Our deepest condolences go out to Rachel’s family, friends, and everyone whose life she touched. May she rest in peace. 🕊️💔
