There aren't many people in the ultra running scene that I can compare myself to, but I really drew a lot of comparisons with Andrea during this conversation. Her story is one that will inspire a lot of people, and her philosophy on running is one I think many will find themselves nodding and agreeing with. This isn't your ordinary runners tale, but Andrea also isn't your ordinary runner. You can...

She loves talking about running as much as me, so this was a tr...

Every good story starts with a night out on the sauce, and it might've just been the thing that Toby Steele needed to kick start a journey that saw him complete one of Australia's toughest ultras. I'm proud to call Toby a mate, his passion for this sport is second to none, he absolutely loves ultra and trail running and has worked himself. Still so young, he's one of the true up and coming runners...

It's not often you get to sit down and chat to one of Australia's best ultra runners and throw whatever questions you like at them, but that's exactly what I got to do with 2022 Coast to Kosci Winner Rob Mason. The win in the grueling 240km endurance race was Rob's sixth attempt, seeing a 12-year dream realised in the process. What many didn't know is that despite being such a respected ultra runn...
