STOP SCROLLING ✋🛑 YOU MAY NEVER SEE THIS POST AGAIN.

Most runners obsess over training plans…

But ignore the thing that powers every single run.

You can have the perfect program, but if you’re under-fuelled you’ll struggle to hit paces, recover slower, and increase your risk of injury.

Nutrition isn’t just for race day.
It’s part of training.

Your gut needs training.
Your fueling strategy needs practice.
And your body deserves enough energy to do what you’re asking of it.

Save this guide for your next long run and send it to the runner who still refuses to take a gel because they “don’t need one.” 🏃🍌

Motivation comes and goes. Accountability creates consistency, and consistency creates results.

Which of these do you struggle with most? 👇🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

We’re not just run coaches… 👀

Sure, we write training plans and help you chase PBs. But that’s only part of what we do… We create experiences you’ll remember long after the finish line.

Our running camps are about more than kilometres. They’re about stepping outside your comfort zone, exploring some of the world’s most breathtaking trails, sharing stories over coffee, pushing each other through tough climbs, and building friendships that last well beyond camp.

Because running has always been about more than running 🏃🏼‍♂️ It’s about adventure - connection - community!

Come for the training.
Stay for the memories.
Leave with a team behind you. 🏔️🏃‍♀️✨

Who’s joining us on the next adventure? 🙌

After a few quiet days away from Instagram, I’m back with some photos from Yading, taken a few weeks ago.

We spent one afternoon around Chonggu Monastery, and the monks let us step inside for a while and see a little of their daily life. It was simple, quiet, and really special to experience.

Behind the monastery rises Mount Chenrezig, one of Yading’s three sacred peaks, 6.032 metres of rock, ice and hanging seracs.

I went there expecting the mountains to be the main story, but the people, the silence and the scale of the place stayed with me just as much.

Most of these photos were taken under very harsh midday light. We don’t always get to choose the perfect conditions, so sometimes we just have to adapt. Editing this set taught me a lot about balancing strong contrast and finding something I liked in light that initially felt far from ideal.

(A polarizer helps massively in conditions like these, the @benjaminhardman Artic @polarpro one I was using made a real difference).

A place I won’t forget anytime soon.

A compilation of some of my favorite moments in China, only a week ago 🤍🇨🇳

Incredible days, wonderful people and new friends 🫶🏻🫂

We go now from the altitude in China to the cold, mud and fun of @torrencialbyutmb where I’ll be going for my first 65K, which will be a huge experience and -I’m sure-a distance I’ll learn a lot from 🙂‍↔️

Thank you so much for all the support and love.

And to my brilliant coach @martinzhor 🫂,

Many hugs,
Sofi

What a weekend for the team. 👏

🌍 Hyrox World Championships:
Our athlete Harry stepped onto the world stage in the Pro Doubles and delivered a phenomenal performance, breaking the 60-minute barrier with an incredible time with his partner Logan.

🇨🇳 SkyRunning World Series: @liamckenziee
Coach Liam took on some of the world’s best mountain runners in China, finishing 10th overall in an exceptionally strong international field. Racing at altitudes reaching 5,000m, this was a true test of strength, resilience and grit.

🏆 Jason’s 3rd race weekend: @jasonfresi
After weeks of consistent work, Jason wrapped up his 3rd Spartan trifecta weekend coming away with 2 podium finishes 👏👏

Results are great, but what stands out most is the commitment behind them. The early mornings, the consistency, the trust in the process and showing up when nobody is watching.

Proud of every athlete who pulled on a race bib this weekend. The work continues. 💪

Yading China on the Tibetan plateau, crazy location for the next round of the @skyrunning World Series! Flying straight in to 4400m is quite literally breath taking. It’s a good crew here, going to be tough race come Saturday but plenty of laughs and good times already. Stoked to be here, always a wild ride, what a crazy life 🙌
