Somehow, it’s just over 3 months to go now 👀 we’re entering that time period where hikers on Perry’s Lookdown are confused as to why there’s 20 overly-enthusiastic runners going up and down the brutal climb and descent. “Are you okay?”, “is that actually fun? Is that even a sport?”, “again, really!? Who hurt you!?”. Most runners will reply “it’s definitely easier than lugging that 20kg overnight pack up there, we can’t complain! All the best, have a great day!”.
It’s also the time of year when we can unapologetically clock up Grand Canyon loop reps and call it training. But really, it’s just an amazing place to be in. I mean who’s running up those stairs up to Neates Glen anyways? Was that a challenge? Maybe… and do I need a shower after training if I ran through a waterfall? That one is personal preference, up to you.
Moral of the story, the fun times are right around the corner. The Grose Valley is awaiting, ready to leave you in awe, and definitely make your quads stupidly sore. This is going to be all time.
