The Running Duck Effect

Running for fun on the roads and trails

[The Running Duck Effect @duck_effect]

Admiring the sunrise this morning as I continue to enjoy the lower mileage. The long trail runs are on the backburner for a while and it might be just as well after I broke a cardinal long run rule. Check out the video to see what went wrong ... https://t.co/kuhVOHS6oM

Decision time..... 🤔 With @ultratrailaustralia postponed it’s time to target 🎯 a marathon 🏃‍♂️ Should it be @gcmarathon or @melbmara ? Back to the roads for this long run after months on the trails. Going to be an interesting few months with so many events. Happy running 😊🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

What to do with the six months of preparation I had done for @ultratrailaustralia but I think I'm heading back to the roads for the rest of 2022.
It's all in this latest video on my YouTube channel. Here's a link if you want to check it out...https://t.co/CrYsc96QnI

BOOM💥Ring that PB bell. Check out this new blog https://t.co/29JhPS6Ra0 on our website where I talk about pacing one of my athletes Graeme to a 4-1/2 minute PB over 10k. Graeme is on quite a journey and is an inspiration to all runners - new and not so new.

Disappointed I won't get to run Ultra-Trail Australia By UTMB in 2022, but totally support the organisers' decision to postpone in light of the recent tragic event and the drenching the area has received from Mother Nature in the past few months. See all you trail runners in 2023

Trail run ✅ 19km ✅ 799m elevation ✅
Solid morning on the trails.
Happy running. ☺🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

I didn't think a trail shoe could be this comfortable. But the Speedgoat 5 from #hokaoneone is. Ticked off a 50km trail race in just my second run. Check out my thoughts on this new trail shoe in the latest video on my YouTube channel .... link here https://t.co/C86P5CGWPp

Well this happened today, and on my 350th parkrun.
Thanks to the team at #fodderforestparkrun and to all the fast kids for staying away 🤣🤣🤣
It's taken almost 10 years to get to this many parkruns, but still enjoy it as much today as I did back in 2012.
Happy running☺🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

End of a big, big month of running.
641km, 9409m elevation, a 50km trail race, fastest 5k in 5 years....
No time to rest though, with #uta100 just over 6 weeks away. 😲
Happy running☺🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Had blast at the inaugural Yandina Five ‘O, even managed to score a podium in my age group. Huge shout out to @runqueensland for another awesome 😎 event.
I’ve put together a video on my YouTube channel from the 50k. Link here ....

Race week, but still have to keep the eyes 👀on the main goal ... #uta100 Looking forward to the Yandina Five 'O' (50km) on Saturday, but it's just another step on the path to tackling my first 100k trail race in the Blue Mountains in 7 weeks. 😲Happy running☺🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Tough afternoon on the trails this afternoon. Almost twice the elevation of last week's run 825m to 1472m. #uta100training continues. Not like my fast 5km where it seemed to be effortlessly. There's a new video on my YouTube channel. Here's the link ...... https://t.co/mar30a0HC8

Recovery run ... one of the most important runs of the week in my opinion.
Easy pace after a hard day on the trails, and no better place for it than to be running on the grass.
#uta100training continues.
Happy running☺🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Double up long run day.

Trail run (36.47km) in the morning and then an easy run (10.31km) along the esplanade in the afternoon. A big 46k for the day and a weekly total of 151km. Ramping it up for UTA100. #uta100training
Happy running☺🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Did I use the #asics Novablast 2s to punch out an 18.56 (that's an 81.16% age grading for 5k) at Wynnum parkrun today?
No, but my first impressions run in these shoes is now on my YouTube channel.
Here's a link to see what I thought of this Asics shoe ... https://t.co/pg6BTiT1Xx

Back to the trails.... sure was a warm one.
#uta100training gets serious.
Happy running☺🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
