🐨 TRAQ KOALA TUESDAY – HOT, HUMID & SWEATY! 🌿🏃‍♂️

Another Tuesday morning and another great turnout for our TRAQ Koala Tuesday run at White’s Hill Reserve! 🙌

Yesterday’s run had a bit of everything — plenty of hot and humid conditions, lots of twisting single track, and even a small section of road thrown in for Dan! 😂

We did manage to spot a koala along the way 🐨, but this morning was really about running, sweating and enjoying the trails with a great bunch of people!

A big thanks to everyone who came along. It’s always great to see such a strong group getting together to start their Tuesday.

📍 Want to join us?

We meet every Tuesday at White’s Hill Reserve, Camp Hill, near the kids’ playground.

🏃 Around 8km
⏱️ Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes
🌿 Plenty of hills and single track
🤝 Regular stops and regrouping along the way — no one gets left behind!

And while yesterday was Gus’s third-last run before heading south, the good news is that Koala Tuesday will continue! Our regulars will keep things rolling and take turns leading the way.

📅 Gus’s final run will be Tuesday 27 October, so if you’d like to come along, enjoy one more morning on the trails with him and give him a proper send-off, make sure you’re there!

Same place, same pace, great people and hopefully a few more koala sightings! 🐨💚

Attention Brisbane Northside Trail Runners

Chermy Trotters are keen to see some new faces at their regular Wednesday morning trail run. If you haven’t run at Chermside Hills before you are missing out on a hidden gem.

Hills, single track, stairs and their very own creek crossing…. Chermy has it all.

They run an hour of trails every Wednesday at 5:15am starting from the Trouts Road entrance.

Pace is dictated by who is there. Some weeks we will split up and other weeks we run all together with regular regroups but everyone is welcome.

If you’re keen to join us for some Chermy trail goodness join the group to get the event invites and feel free to reach out with any questions.

🏃‍♂️ TEAM TRAQ CAMP WRAP-UP 🏃‍♀️

We finished camp with a great session from Sunny Coast-based endurance running legend and dietitian Dom Ryan.

It’s always great to hear from someone who not only understands endurance running, but genuinely loves and does what our Team TRAQ runners do.

Dom took the group through Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), fuelling for training and racing, gut training, whole-food options and supplements.

There were some simple messages that really stood out:

🍝 Fuel your body
🔥 Fuel the work required
🥤 Train your gut
🎯 Find what works for you
💊 Supplements are the icing, not the cake

And perhaps the most important message:

The goal isn’t just to have one great run — it’s to keep running.

Then came the questions… and there were plenty! Dom shared plenty of practical guidance, including what she uses, what she doesn’t, and how athletes can work out what suits them.

And just like that, another Team TRAQ camp was wrapped up. 👊

Three days of learning, running, hiking, getting to know each other and building the foundations for what we hope will be some pretty exciting months ahead.

We can’t wait to see this group put their learnings into practice, chase their goals, and watch the new friendships and training partnerships they’ve formed flourish.

A huge thanks to Dom and all our amazing presenters Steve and Nathaniel and supporters like Rural Funds Management who continue to invest their time and knowledge into Team TRAQ.

Until the next camp… keep running! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💙

🧠 TEAM TRAQ | THE WHY, VALUES & MINDSET

Another afternoon of learning for Team TRAQ, this time with sports psychologist Nathaniel Wells — and Nathaniel is quickly becoming a Team TRAQ favourite, returning for his third year with the squad!

The session kicked off with a little pressure situation. The team was given just 2 minutes to think of a joke.

The reactions varied — from fight to flight and everything in between! 😂

From there we explored The WHY?

Why do you run?
Why did you get into trail running?
What is your favourite race — and why?

There were plenty of great Queensland races mentioned, including Yandina, BVRT, Blackall Range, Great Pyramid and Beerwah, along with overseas favourites such as Tarawera.

We then explored our values in trail running.

Growth.
Resilience.
Freedom.
Leadership.
Achievement.
Performance.
Curiosity.
Accountability.

Some great conversations came from identifying what matters most to each athlete and how those values can influence the way we approach training, racing and the challenges that come with both.

With that knowledge in place, we moved into mindset and processing, learning techniques to help focus our attention and, when it wanders, bring it back.

These are skills the athletes can use both in training and racing.

Of course, the group had some great questions — including:

“What if I can’t get back into that moment?”

We finished with Good. Better. How?, with the athletes reflecting on their most recent race and considering what went well, what could have been better, and importantly, how they can make that improvement happen.

Another incredibly insightful session from Nathaniel and another great reminder that Team TRAQ is about developing the whole athlete — physically and mentally.

Thanks Nathaniel for another fantastic session. We’re already looking forward to next year! 👏🧠⛰️
