100km done 😴

I would like to first of all thank everyone who helped me out on this journey. Whether that was those of you who donated their time or legs, running or supporting me on the day. Or those who had donated, it all helped immensely.

Thank you to the crew at for the support in the early am. A very pleasant surprised to have far more support in the dead of night than expected (and a coffee at dawn)

Lastly I wanted to talk about some reflection I had at the early hours of the morning. After a talk with Jarred, who joined me on the first leg, about why we run, I felt rather grateful for my body and what I’ve been able to do with it over the years.

I’ve never been a naturally gifted athlete, especially in the endurance field, but being able to grow and improve these qualities is something that I’m pretty damn proud of.

I’ve successfully reached my goal for fundraising but I will keep the link in my bio open for a few weeks if anyone would like to donate.

Thank you all so much for the support.

The Mo is officially on. TW

Unfortunately we lose young men to su***de at an alarming rate. I think most of us know someone who has taken their life, or know of someone who has. It doesn’t just affect that person. It affects everyone around them.

Depression is a silent killer. Many of those who suffer do so in silence and do not have an avenue to express their suffering. Movember helps to reduce the number of those affected by this condition, by providing support, education and tools to those needing them most.

I will be running 100km to raise money for the Movember foundation on the 23rd of November. If you haven’t already, please donate via the link in my bio. Thank you. 💜

Yurrebilla ✅

Such a fun day out. Much cooler than the last trail race I’d done which made a huge difference.

Enjoying the increase in training volume at the moment

I’m sure you saw all of the R U Okay Day posts this week. You might’ve sent your mates a message or two. You might not have. That’s okay

What’s not okay is the reality that plenty of people would’ve replied to those messages with a simple, “yeah mate, you?” irrespective of how they’re actually feeling.

Mental health is a constant in our lives. Poor mental health is unfortunately something that everyone has experienced, whether that’s firsthand, or through seeing someone they love being taken over by it.

The fact that poor mental health is a male-dominant issue is unsurprising, given how many of us have learnt through observation, or frank teachings how to be a man. Speaking about how we’re feeling isn’t second nature and for many it isn’t a skill that they’ve developed at all, even after decades of life. I don’t intend to dismiss any of the sufferings of females at all by this, but the statistics for mental health crisis’s are overwhelmingly male.

This November I’ll be back for another crack at another stupidly long run, to help raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health in the hope that we can get some men to speak up, and to give support to those who feel they can’t.

14 Month Transformation ⬇️

Pretty damn proud of this and frankly an image isn’t nearly a fair representation of what’s actually changed….

There’s about 12kg weight loss between these two images, about 485 hours of training, 1507km ran and countless days of not wanting to but doing nonetheless. I’m far fitter than I’ve ever been and although I’m not the leanest I’ve ever been (by a significant amount) I feel the best in and out of my skin.

Running isn’t something that I would say I love. But I do love the knowledge that by doing this now I’m building lifelong habits that do serve me and will keep me moving strong for decades to come 🤞

First Ultra done ✅
59km ➡️
2k ⬆️
12L Water
4L Electrolyte mix
32 Salt Tabs
3 Second Winds

Quite happy overall with how things went considering the weather. About an hour slower than I guessed but 32’c will do that.

Ready for the next one 🤪

BIG CHANGES

I’ve been super quiet on here recently, so I figured I’d tell you what’s been happening recently.

There’s about 12kg difference between these two photos, but there’s been a much bigger change in identity between the two people here (one person idk). Previously I’ve been content with just being quite strong.

Over the past year I’ve been focusing on being healthier. I’ve been using my cardiovascular fitness as a measure of that, as well as resting HR as an indication as well (65->56).

It’s also been the healthiest my mental health has been in a long time and especially whilst dieting which I think is largely due to having goals outside of appearances alone. I’ve been much more resilient when I do overeat or binge on foods that had absolutely no place in my plan for that day. I’ve learnt to be kinder and allow those mistakes to exist and coexist with good behaviours too. It’s not one or the other.

On top of this I’ve started studying again since dropping out of engineering (sorry mum). This time around I’m doing something I’m passionate about, being physiotherapy, as I love helping people move through pain and gain insight into how bloody resilient they can be!

Will be posting here a bit more consistently so stay tuned!

Biggggg Update! I posted on my stories a couple days ago about this but..

In less than a months time I’ll be running 60km for , helping to raise funds for mens mental health.

I’ve done this run once before and it was somewhat of a regret in all honesty. I’d injured my hip two days before running playing ultimate frisbee of all things, which left me tearing the labrum in my left hip.

This time around I will be mindful of any injuries and not simply push through for the sake of it, however I’m confident I’ll be able to do it.

Men’s mental health is a topic close to home, with both friends and family having suffered immensely from it.

If you have anything to spare for this cause it’ll be greatly appreciated. I’m looking at raising similar funds to the last time I ran this, so anything will be greatly appreciated. It doesn’t need to be hundreds to make a difference.

The Below Link will take you to my Mospace if you would like to donate 🙏🙏🙏
