Is your soft flask a science experiment waiting to happen? 🧪

That petri dish? It could be a sample from my own flask.

1. Rinse after every run. Flask and cap.
2. Take it apart. The mouthpiece is where bacteria and mould love to hide.
3. Soak it in Milton tablets to sterilise.
4. Dry everything before you put it back together.
5. Once it's clean and dry, pop it in the freezer to help stop bacteria growing.

Five minutes of care beats a mystery flask on race day.

What's the grossest thing you've found in your kit? Tell me below 👇

Are poles worth it or just trail jewellery? Scientists built a 45° treadmill to find out.

8 weeks to UTK... but really more like 6. ⏳

Taper eats more time than you think. I break down what to lock in now: your mandatory kit, your long runs and vert, and a nutrition plan that actually holds up past hour 10.

Race week never really leaves you.

Every year at UTA I watch the same thing happen. Months of early alarms and hard sessions turn into a finish chute, a medal, a moment that makes it all make sense. Big goals turned into big efforts, and every single result out there was earned the hard way.

If you were on that start line this year, you already know what I mean. If you were watching from the sidelines wondering if you could do it, this is your sign. UTA 2027 is coming, and the athletes who toe that line prepared didn't get there by accident.

Start now. Build the base. Ask for help if you need it. Your finish line moment is still ahead of you.

Thinking about stepping up in race distance? 👀

Most runners get this wrong in the same two ways: jumping too early, or jumping without testing what the new distance actually demands.

My next piece for Trail Run Magazine (edition 61) breaks down how to know you're ready, why the jump is bigger than the number suggests, and the mistake I see more than any other.
