The 6h Autumn Rogaine put on by was so much fun last weekend!
Sadly we were down our navigator, who was off sick, but Anita and I rallied and did our best to nav and it was a great experience! 🧭
We ended up coming 2nd in our category which blew us both away. But more than that it was an awesome chance to practice our skills, without relying on someone else 'knowing more than us.'

Bring on the next one 🗺⛰️☀️

Loz doing badass Loz things!

I've been training this amazingly strong woman for about 7 years and she is really riding high at the moment with her strength 💪
It hasn't always been easy that's for sure, she's battled many an injury, night shifts, poor diets driven by poorer schedules, and the type of work that would make me want to curl up into a ball and cry.

After many difficult life choices over the years, and in her words "gently brutal pep talks" from me, she's been seeing such great results from her consistency in the gym and with her nutrition! 🏋‍♀️

I am so, so proud and I know this is just the beginning of so much greatness to come, because i've finally managed to get her doing cardio and not totally hating it 🤭

Keep outlifting the boys you absolute weapon 🙌😎

The blisters and scraped knees have almost healed from the .ultra and what a day it was!

I'm proud to be going into the new year with better understanding of my body, of the amount of training volume and intensity that I respond best to, and to be kind to myself when I'm just not feeling it.

I wasn't very trained for this 54km mammoth day, and yet I went into it just telling myself to relax and enjoy the run. No expectations of my 'best effort' or a podium or even really of pushing too hard. And you know what, I got 2 placings higher and ran better than last year (lots of training last year).

Feeling relaxed and in the zone really goes a long way 😌

Here's to another year of bringing this vibe to everything we all do 🙌🫶

P.s. big thanks to my hype crew and fellow runners .r.roxburgh

We went on an avalanche course over the weekend with such a rad crew! Taught by the absolute best ⛷️❄️
The amount we learnt about snow and terrain and avalanches in just two days was impressive, and I'm so excited to get out more in the back country and put my new skills to use. (Hopefully not actually having to avalanche rescue 😱 but understanding how to avoid one...yes please!)

And yes, the hilarity of doing an avalanche course when there is maaaayyybe 5cm of snow is not lost on me 😅

Skedaddle Trail Marathon 🏃‍♀️⛰️

I stepped up to the marathon distance this time and it was a fantastic challenge after doing the 30k and 15k in previous years. No podium for me this year, but insanely proud of myself for making it in 9th after testing with iron below the lab ranges just 2 weeks ago. (Don't be like me, and make sure you get your iron tested semi-regularly if you do endurance sports, ESPECIALLY if you're female 🫣)

Highlights from the day include:
☀️ finally nailing all the factors needed to not cramp during the race! (I've battled cramps all my races the last 2 years)
☀️ the weather! WOW does this event have some serious luck. 3 years running, end of April and they've always had sunny days.
☀️ The people. What a cool crowd of runners. Had many fun, inspiring and supportive chats with runners while slogging up hills together.
☀️ Feet in pretty descent shape thanks to my socks and shoe combination. Love all these little details coming together.
☀️ seeing absolutely smash her 10k race in under her predicted time, and by far the steepest trail she's ever done. Couldn't be prouder 🥹
☀️ and to top the whole day off, being surprised by .r.roxburgh and at the finish line who showed up to cheer us on. what friends! 🥰

Thanks for another epic event. You knock it out of the park every time 🙌

Hi, I'm Alaina 👋 A wee reintroduction, as i’m yet to do this since I changed full time work FOUR 🤯 months ago!
I am now a full time trainer at the beautiful in Christchurch, NZ. My passion is helping people build strength and confidence in their bodies that enable them to do all the other cool things in life they want to do. Getting strong in the gym is a tool to be fitter when out running trails, or biking, or skiing, or playing with your kids or grandkids. Getting stronger is important to prevent injury, improve balance and change your body composition! I also have a strong focus on helping people get back to sport and activity post-injury.

How to work with me if you're interested:
▪️ Join The Well gym and see me for casual or regular sessions at a members discounted rate.
▪️ See me for regular private training sessions at The Well (you do not have to be a member).
▪️I'm also available for nutrition supplement review consultations and organising high quality supplements for you as needed. In person on Mondays or online.
▪️ And last but not least, I am available for online sessions to write running training plans if that's your jam 🏃‍♀️💨

Available mon-fri so please reach out if you've been wanting to get started making some strength or fitness gains 💪 🏋
Here's to be able to do all the epic stuff you dream of 🔥
