Content & media interviews

First run back after being sick. Told myself to keep it “controlled.” Pressed incline anyway. Whoops. 

Because sometimes getting strong again starts with doing hard things on purpose.

There’s nothing like 4% to remind you who’s in charge.

I didn’t go for a run because I felt motivated.
I went because my head was loud.

You know that feeling?
Too many tabs open.
Too many decisions.
Too much noise.

Somewhere between the first kilometre and the steady rhythm of my breath, things start to settle. My thoughts line up. The urgency softens. The problems don’t disappear but they shrink to a manageable size.

Running gives me something rare:
Quiet
Focus
Space to think one clear thought at a time.

It’s not about pace.
It’s not about distance.
It’s about coming home calmer than I left.

If you’ve ever gone out overwhelmed and come back steadier… you get it.

First St Columba’s run club for 2026. 2.5km. Four years old.
No more running pram needed. 

Watching my daughter discover what her body can do is pure magic. The kind of proud-mum moment you never forget 🏃‍♀️✨

Office outfit.
Race day shoes.
Consider this myth officially cancelled..

Loved the feel of all new Cielo X1 3.0 from HOKA. Even lighter, softer and more stable to run some zippy races in. Coming 5 February.

I negotiated with myself for way too long…
Turns out the run was exactly what I needed.

Anyone relate?

2025.
This is what running looked like when real life came first.
Life happened. Running stayed.
Some weeks it was early mornings or a quick lunch time run. Some weeks it was squeezing it in.
I still showed up.
That’s the win.

Ran a 2-min PB. Missed sub-1:30 by 39 seconds.
Annoying? A little.
Proud? Absolutely.
Because I know how hard I worked for that gap to get this small. And that finish line just lit a fire.

Still buzzing from the West Gate Tunnel Discovery Day. 

So special to explore Melbourne’s newest tunnels and bridges on foot before they open in December.

Huge shoutout to everyone who made this rare moment possible.

To my 20-year-old self:
One day you’ll run faster, stronger, and smarter. 

Not because you’re younger, but because you finally understand your body.

You’ll train with purpose, rest without guilt, and love the process more than the pace.

The medal is cool… but this - this is the win ❤️

15km through Beechworth, the crowd cheering, legs absolutely cooked and then I spot my people at the finish line.

That’s the moment you forget the tired and remember exactly why you do this.

Running gives you strength.
Family gives it meaning.
