RACE WEEKEND: There's plenty happening around South East Queensland this Sunday 8 November.

The Mateship Run is on at Currumbin, the Red Run Remembrance Day fun run is at The Gap, and trail runners have Mt Glorious Mountain Trails and the SEQ Trail Series at Numinbah Valley. And a big congratulations to everyone who ran the New York City Marathon last weekend 🗽

If you're racing, my usual race-day rule applies: nothing new. Same shoes, same fuel, same routine. And if it's a trail race, remember the downhills will cost your quads more than you think. Who's racing? Let us know below and we'll cheer you on.

I get asked this all the time:
"How do I get faster without running more?"
My answer is usually the same. Get more out of every stride.

That's running economy, which is how much energy it costs you to run at a given pace. It's a bit like fuel efficiency in a car. Two runners can have the same fitness, and one of them makes it look easy because they're wasting less energy with every step.

Every time your foot hits the ground, your body has to absorb force, stabilise and push you into the next stride. Stronger muscles and springier tendons do that job more efficiently, and the research shows strength and plyometric training can make runners up to 8% more efficient. That's without adding a single extra kilometre to your week.

Runner maths is its own branch of mathematics 😂

A 5km is "just a short one", one more kilometre somehow turns into three, and a rest day means three hours researching new shoes. Running 21.1km is fun, but walking 500m back to the car afterwards is apparently impossible. And a 6am alarm counts as a sleep-in.

None of it makes sense to anyone else, but it makes perfect sense to us. What would you add?

I'm sure you know these runners....🏃‍♀️

Runners that don’t necessarily run the fastest but they just seem to make everything look effortless.

👉 They know their pace.
👉 They know when to push.
👉 They know when to back off.

And they’ve built the strength to handle the running they want to do 💪 and they’ve usually been doing it for a lot longer than you realise.

Behind that relaxed stride are years of showing up, building gradually and learning what works for them. The strength sessions. The recovery days. The runs you never saw. 🌿

There’s a lot behind a run that looks easy.

Wanting to get faster usually means doing more. 🏃‍♀️💨

👉 More kilometres.
👉 More speed sessions.
👉 More effort.

But if you’re already training consistently, more isn’t necessarily addressing what’s holding you back.

💪 Sometimes the missing piece is strength.
🎛 Sometimes it’s control.
🏃‍♀️ Sometimes it’s movement efficiency.

Progress can mean building the strength and control to get more from the effort you’re already putting in.

Before you add more training, ask yourself: is your body making the most of the training you’re already doing? 🌿

Not every run needs to be a good one 🏃‍♀️ or a great pace, a new distance or a screenshot worth sharing. Sometimes you just get out there and sometimes, that’s enough. 🤍

The slower days, the heavy legs, the “I nearly stayed home” runs — they’re part of being a runner, too.

Your pace doesn’t define who you are. You don’t have to prove yourself every time you lace up. 🌿

REAL RUNNERS 🏃‍♀️🤍

One of the biggest wins after injury isn’t necessarily running faster.

It’s going for a run

👉 Without thinking about your knee.
👉 Without checking your calf.
👉 Without wondering what will hurt tomorrow.
👉 Without analysing every sensation.

Just running. 🌿

💨 Enjoying the fresh air.
🪘 Finding your rhythm.
🤯 Letting your mind wander instead of constantly checking in with your body.

That feeling of trusting your body again is something you don’t fully appreciate until you’ve lost it.

Getting back there can take time, patience and plenty of small steps. But those quiet wins deserve celebrating too. 🙌

Sometimes, progress is finishing a run and realising you spent more time enjoying it than worrying.

RUN SMARTER 🏃‍♀️💡

You don’t need to prove you’re fit every time you lace up.

Every run has a purpose—and it won’t always be to go faster.

💪 Some runs build fitness.
🌿 Some are for recovery.
⏱️ Some are for practising pace.
👟 Some are simply about getting the kilometres done.

If you’re judging every run by whether you could have gone faster, you’re missing the point of half your training.

An easy run doesn’t need a fast finish to count.
Just like a recovery run doesn’t need to become a tempo session and a slower pace doesn’t mean you’re going backwards. 🤍

The goal is to finish having done what that session asked of you—even when that means holding back.

Before your next run, ask yourself:
“What is today’s run actually for?”

Then let it do its job. 🙌

Do you find it hard to keep your easy runs easy? 💬

RUN FOR LIFE 🏃‍♀️🌿

Runners often talk about their “best” years as the years when they were fastest.

The PBs they had, the race results they acheived and the pace they used to hold. ⏱️ But what if your best years are the ones where you understand your body better?

Where you know:
🔥 When to push.
🌿 When to back off.
😴 How much recovery you need.
💪 What strength work keeps you feeling good.

And how to build a training routine that fits your life, instead of feeling like you’re always trying to keep up. This is when you start appreciating the things a watch can’t measure.

Where you finish a run feeling good, have energy left for the rest of your day, trust yourself to take a rest day without guilt and guess what you still enjoying the kilometres. 🤍

Being a better runner isn’t always about being faster, sometimes it’s about making choices that help you keep doing what you love—for years to come.

What’s one thing you understand about your body now that you wish you’d known sooner? 💬
