Soaking it all in and trying to catch my breath 🤣
I’m so lucky to have this on my doorstep

Thank you to and for your support throughout 2023. You are all incredible!

Merry Christmas to all x

Catch up with Matt today! Got some new amazing gym towels!! Was so good to see you, and thank you for the new merch! ❤️💚🩶🖤💙

First donation in a while! Being in recovery means I’m able to give blood and/plasma again.

People seem to keep feeding me dumplings and cocktails. Clearly I look like I’m in recovery 😅

24h World championships 2023

6.5 weeks ago, I found out I had a torn hip, through a lot of physio and perseverance, I started running again 2 weeks ago. With this set back, I knew this race would be more of a challenge than usual, so went in trying to not put pressure on myself, and to be the best Captain I could possibly be for the team. I feel I did that. To individually achieve 184km after what I’ve been through was both disappointing and amazing at the same time, but, leading the teams to come 5th and 6th in the world, and them individually achieving some PBs, was next level!

It was also so great to see some old Indian, Polish and Taiwanese friends and meet some new friends from across the world. Can not wait for the next champs! Bring it on.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey!

Just hanging with the best ultra runner in the world

The first of the Aussie contingent has arrived in Taiwan and we’re jumping on the 24h fun bus 😂

So glad to be back!

This time last year I was prepping to run against the best runners in Australia, fast forward a year and I’m prepping to run at the World Championships in Taiwan against the best runners in the world!

To say I’ve had a good lead up to this race is an understatement, it has been terrible, but.. I’ve used mental resilience and inner strength in which I’ve adapted and overcome, and now it’s game time. 11 days!

Let’s go let’s go!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and been there for me, I’ve got this, because of you.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them.
Lest we Forget

Here’s to new tan lines from mixing running with low impact cross training 😂 and here’s to getting it done before a November thunderstorm hits!
3.5 weeks until Worlds!

5 hours on the exercise bike is definitely harder than running the 60k I had on my program for today! Mixing it up a bit! Thank goodness for Netflix today though 😂

Getting real now! 7 weeks to go and I’ve received my new Aussie uniform! Here’s a sneak peek 🫣

Tip of the day: if you want to make your workout harder.. ensure the dryer is on in the garage for the duration 😅😂🤦🏽‍♀️

8 weeks until 24h World Championships!

A few happy snaps from the on Sunday!

It was awesome! The crowd, the music, the saxophones, the volunteers, the weather.. all fantastic!

Let’s make Sydney a !

The look on my face right now when I see my go fund me page is close to $5500 raised so far!

This is amazing! Thank you everyone for your support. This gets myself and my crew our flights to and from Taiwan, plus a bit of our accommodation! Thank you!

The page is still running and funds are still being raised, so head into the link in my bio if you want to donate! Any funds raised above my costs will be donated to the team to help the other members out.

What an incredible 24 hours!

The this yeah was absolutely incredible, and what a line up! Wow!

I met and surpassed my goal, smashed my PB, and an Age Category record (to be ratified), and then, to be crowned the 2023 Female Champion was the icing on the cake!

Ultra running takes an army, and I had the absolute BEST team with me! Special mention to .on.tour for being a fantastic crew chief, along with , , , and Michael. I COULD NOT have done that without you! Having the support of my family and friends was absolutely amazing. Thank you for everything!

, - I think we did our coach, the one and only proud!

Thank you to my sponsors, , and for the support you give me!

Finally, thank you to Matt for organising and supporting this race, and for hosting the race as a part of their event calendar for 2023.
