XC skiing is super fun. But there’s a big chunk of the year when we can’t do it 😢 Rollerskiing is a good training tool, but not for everyone. Balance exercises can help us get ready for winter ❄️ and make the most of our time cross country skiing.

What’s your favorite balance exercise?

The CCC champion Cristian Minoggio and runner up Miguel Arsenio came into the studio to talk through their races. A one two at the finale. Cristian broke the elastic on the climb at 50k and never looked back. Miguel came through late on the technical ground and was still dancing down the last descent. Before that, Robbie Britton joins Aaron and Pippa to break the whole race down: Yngvild Kaspersen winning it three weeks after pulling out at mile 98 of Western States, Toni McCann stopped by a level crossing while leading, and over 100 DNFs at Trient as the hail came in.

Stop dismissing the small steps "as doing nothing or as having an off week"

Take credit for even the smallest actions because it is the smallest actions that get you where you want to go when practiced overtime.

Few couple of weeks away catching up with family and friends.

Started off with the Edinburgh 10k. Didnt get the time i was after but just appreciated the fact i can run again with less pain and did run a sub 40 on that hilly course.

Then on the sunday supporting Josh and Kelsey at the Edinburgh half. Both did really well in that heat! Chuffed to see Josh finish in 2h 11m and i coached him for 3 months prep.

Then onto Stu's up in Perth for a chill and a meaty 20 miler up at Loch Monar! Decent ridge climb and end the day with sunstroke! Cant beat it 🤣☀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Then onto an epic long weekend in Switzerland with the trail talk team. Crewing Joe to a 6th place finish in the 84k race and then i did the 16k race! Happy enough with the race!

Now hopefully some consistency within my running over the next few months. Exciting to see what progress i can make!

Edinburgh 10k - 57th out of 4000
Swiss canyon 16k - 28th out of 637

Cheers 🫡👊

Wintering has begun. The road to the arctic starts here.

11 months from now I’ll be standing somewhere inside the arctic circle, attempting to be the first Australian to complete the nordenskioldsloppet. The longest ski race in the world.
I live in Perth, Western Australia. I’ve never cross-country skied before.
I’ll be raising money for sick children along the way.
If you’re at all interested in the training, falls, reality checks and ideally, eventually some skiing please follow along.

Seasonal confusion at its finest 🤌🏼

2026 has practically felt like summer. Now that it’s actually time to prep the running legs for summer trail running, April is throwing everything at us. So maybe I had a little fun on (or editing) my run 🤷🏼‍♀️
