Huge weekend in the Mountains for our endurance crew 🏔️

Different distances.
Different outcomes.
Different emotions.

But one thing remains the same — every single one of you stepped into the arena.

From the athletes chasing PB’s, to those battling cramps, low patches, self doubt or the unknown… there’s something incredibly powerful about putting yourself on the line in an event like UTA.

As a coach, reading through your Strava uploads, Training Peaks files & social media posts over the last few days, you can feel how much these events mean to people. Not just physically — but mentally & emotionally.

These mountains have a way of exposing you.
They test patience, resilience, preparation & perspective.

Some of you walked away hungry for more.
Some proud.
Some disappointed.
Some probably still processing it all.

But remember — growth rarely happens inside comfort.

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…”

A quote that has echoed in my head repeatedly this week from my own challenges in the last 5 days …

Be proud that you had the courage to prepare, suffer, commit & chase something difficult.

Recover well.
Absorb the load.
Learn from it all.

Once again even though I couldn’t bring myself to be there, a huge sense of pride & satisfaction has come my way in reading your messages & checking results .

✌️

Everyone talks about sore legs after UTA…

But that’s not what really determines how well you recover.

After an ultra, the biggest impact is actually happening behind the scenes 👇

• your gut is disrupted
• your hormones are off
• your immune system takes a hit
• your sleep is affected
• and mentally… you might feel flat

This is why some runners bounce back quickly…
and others feel off for weeks.

In our latest blog we break down the hidden side of recovery:

• why your appetite disappears
• what’s happening hormonally post-race
• how to manage gut issues properly
• why “post-race blues” is real (and normal)
• what to actually focus on to recover faster

If you’ve just done UTA—or you’re preparing for it—this is one you don’t want to miss 👇

Recovery isn’t just about your legs.
It’s about your whole system.

Most runners think recovery is about one thing:Sore legs and when can I return to training. But after Ultra Trail Australia, the real story is much bigger.Because what you feel (tight quads, stiff calves) is only the surface.Underneath, your body is dealing with:• Gut disruption• Hormonal imbala...

“How soon can I run again after UTA?”

It’s the question every runner asks… and it’s where most get it wrong.

Because here’s the truth 👇
Just because your legs feel okay… doesn’t mean your body is ready.

We see it every year:
➡️ runners go for a “light jog” too early
➡️ a week later… niggles start
➡️ then training falls apart

In our latest blog, we break it down properly:

• exactly when to run again after UTA 22, 50, 100 & 100 mile
• what’s actually happening in your body post-race
• how to do your first run back the right way
• the biggest mistake that leads to injury

If you want to come back stronger (not sidelined), this is a must read 👇

Your comeback starts with how you recover.

This is the question every runner asks after UTA:“When can I run again?”And the honest answer is:Earlier than you should… but later than you think.Most runners base their return on how their legs feel. But here’s the problem:Your legs recover faster than your body.Under the surface, your mus...

HEY RUNNERS THIS ONE IS FOR YOU

You run hills.
You chase vert.
You pound the pavement.
Do speed intervals.
You pride yourself on toughness.

But if you’re honest…
strength probably isn’t part of your weekly routine.

And that’s the exact reason this 8-week Athletic Strength Block will change your running.

⸻

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR RUNNERS

Most runners think more running = better performance.

But the data says otherwise:
• Strength training can improve running economy by 4–8%
• Can increase time to exhaustion by up to 20%
• Reduces injury risk by ~50%
• Improves force production → better climbs & stronger finishes
• Helps maintain form under fatigue (where most races are won & lost)

⸻

WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANS FOR YOU
• You hold pace longer late in races
• You climb stronger instead of surviving climbs
• You descend with control (less quad blow-up)
• You stop breaking down every training block
• You back up sessions week after week

This is running-specific strength:
• Lower limb stiffness & elasticity
• Single-leg strength (run-specific patterns)
• Core control under fatigue
• Tendon & connective tissue resilience
• Power for hills, surges & finishing kicks

⸻

THE REALITY

If you’re only running…

👉 You’re leaving performance on the table
👉 You’re increasing injury risk
👉 You’re limiting your ceiling

⸻

THE OPPORTUNITY

8 weeks.
Structured.
Built for runners.

This is the block that:
• Bridges the gap between fitness → performance
• Turns your engine into something that can actually handle load
• Sets you up for your next race block stronger than ever

⸻

STARTS APRIL 20

4 sessions per week to choose from
Jump in where it suits your training & life schedule.

You’ve finished UTA… now what?

Most runners think recovery just means “rest until you feel better.”

But here’s the truth 👇
The first 72 hours after your race can make or break your next 6–8 weeks of training.

This is where we see runners either:
✅ bounce back stronger
❌ pick up niggles, fatigue or illness

In our latest blog we break down exactly what to do in the first 3 days after your race:

• how to refuel properly (most people underdo this)
• how to hydrate without overdoing water
• why sleep is your most powerful recovery tool
• what movement actually helps (and what doesn’t)
• the biggest mistakes runners make after UTA

If you’ve got UTA coming up, this is a must read.

Your race doesn’t end at the finish line.
Recovery is where the real gains happen.

UTA is one of the best weekends of the year 🔥

But once it’s done… the real work starts — recovery.

We see it every year:
Runners jumping back into training because they “feel okay”… and then breaking down weeks later.

Truth is — your body is still deep in recovery long after the soreness settles.

We’ve broken down exactly what UTA does to your body across the 22km, 50km, 100km and 100 mile events — and how long recovery actually takes 👇

Worth a read if you’re lining up in May.
