⚡️ My Megablast were worn out, so it was time to try something new! 👀🔥

I’ve been testing the new ASICS SonicBlast 2, designed for everything from fast-paced interval sessions to those long training runs.

And honestly… I LOVE THEM! @asicsnz @asicsrunning

✅ Super bouncy
✅ Stable and responsive
✅ Great grip, even in wet conditions 🌧️

Now the big question… 👀 Would you race in these, or stick to your current race-day shoes? 👇

RUNNING DRILLS = BETTER RUNNING

Want to become a more efficient runner? Don’t just run… work on your technique!

Running drills help you improve your coordination, posture, footwork and running efficiency.

🔥 A few minutes before your session can make a difference!
✅ Better running form
✅ Improved coordination
✅ More efficient strides
✅ A stronger running technique

Consistency is key. Small details make a big difference! 💪🏼

Save this post for your next running session! 📌

Fuel your runs. Save your legs. ⚡️

Meet your new running best friends: @puresportsnutrition gels

But which one should you choose? 👀

🍯 Energy Gel — Your classic go-to for quick carbs to keep you moving (during your race).

⚡ Caffeine Gel — Need an extra kick? A little boost when your legs start questioning your life choices (before your race or around 16km half or 32km for the full distance). 😂

💧 Hydration & Electrolytes — For those longer, sweatier sessions when water alone might not cut it (post run).

🏁 Race day tip: Don’t wait until you’re completely cooked to start fuelling. Practise with your gels during training so your stomach is ready for race day!

Because the only thing that should hurt on race day is your legs… not your stomach. 😂

3 WEEKS OUT FROM AUCKLAND HALF MARATHON! 🇳🇿

Today’s interval session 🔥

🔹 30 min warm-up — easy pace
🔹 20 × 1 min @ 3:37/km with 1 min recovery @ 4:45/km
🔹 10 × 1 min @ 3:27/km with 1 min recovery @ 5:00/km
🔹 10 min cool-down — easy pace

The key to interval training is consistency! Try to maintain the same pace from your first rep to your last. Don’t start too fast, you want to finish strong, not burn out halfway through.

Sessions like this help improve your speed, running efficiency and ability to handle higher intensities.

Need advice on your training? Drop a comment below! 👇

The body is feeling better and so is the mind. Now it’s time to focus on my next race, the @aucklandmarathon (half), before starting a massive 4 month block towards Taupo 70.3!
Don’t judge my stretching… this is my maximum 😂

OFFICIALLY SIGNED UP FOR 70.3 IRONMAN TAUPŌ! 🇳🇿🔥 @ironmannz

For a long time, triathlon was a chapter I thought I had closed.

More than 10 years away. A lot of life in between. And recently, one big question: would my knee let me do this again?

So I waited. I listened to my body. I hoped.

And now… my knee is finally feeling better…

That was enough to make me believe again.

I’ve officially signed up for 70.3 Taupō. 🇳🇿

I’m not the athlete I was as a teenager when I became Vice French Champion in duathlon.

I’m something different now. Older, more experienced, and with a much deeper reason to race.

This comeback means more than a finish line.
It’s about finding that part of myself again.

Taupō, here we go.

The road to the Ironman World Championship starts here. 🌍

How good is it to run as a group, as a team, as a community. 💙

So grateful to be part of the @run4auckland journey and to share this story with such an amazing community.

Only a few more weeks to go until the Auckland Half Marathon. The mileage is building week after week, the work is being put in and the excitement is growing.

Can’t wait to be standing on that start line with the Run4 crew.
Let’s keep pushing. 💪🏼

6 months ago, I wasn’t even sure when I would race again…

My first race since the Paris Marathon, where I had to stop because of my knee injury.

I haven’t run more than 16km since Paris, but I wanted to test the knee, see where my fitness was at and most importantly… just enjoy racing again.

And honestly, I couldn’t be happier with how it went.

Zero knee pain. 🙌

Even with the changing terrain, downhill sections, rocks, tight turns and everything else that comes with a trail race.

My fitness is obviously still a little way off my usual level but that’s completely normal. I’m not trying to rush anything.

Slowly but surely, I’m coming back.

And Rotorua… what a beautiful race!

As a road runner and absolutely not a trail runner, I somehow ended up having a bloody good time 😂

Next stop: Auckland Half Marathon with the whole @run4auckland team! 💙

The comeback continues !!
