What type of runners do you use?

Even if you’re going on holiday over the festive season you can still keep running – and see some amazing sights while you’re at it.
It’s a day that has been coming for a while, that you’ve been looking forward to like a kid looks forward to Christmas, and yet the actual date has been uncertain… which only magnifies the anxiety and excitement.

Months have now passed since the end of the Australian domestic track season. This, however, was just the beginning for some.

Thus it will be a prerequisite to be able to run that sort of pace in the Olympic final in London in 4 weeks if anyone wants to be competitive.
Team Calibre supported by New Balance once again lined up in the 2012 edition of the Brisbane Trailwalker on Friday 15th June.
The team, all decked out in New Balance gear was unchanged from our win in the 2011 event and we were keen to replicate this with a time faster than the 11hrs 58 inaugural result.
On a wet, wintry Sunday morning recently I found myself in a little café having brunch with my cousins and discussing (of all things) Descartes. One of them had been studying the film Blade Runner and the conversation turned to what makes us, well, us. Although far too philosophical for my brain to deal with at that time of morning, it did get me thinking…
