Much ado about the Addo Elephant Trail Run 100 Miler
Which sounds further: 160km or 100 miles? I’ve now run six of them and I’m still not sure. But I’m certainly grateful that in South Africa the checkpoints are kilometres apart rather than miles – that way we can tick them off quicker! The...
EARWORMS in ultra running
EARWORM (noun): A song or tune that gets stuck in one’s mind and repeats as if on a tape. Also called cognitive itch, sticky tune, stuck song syndrome, involuntary musical imagery. There I was, 47km into the fourth day of running through the desert,...
MAN versus BEAST
Seems I’m on again about beasts – this being my second blog in a few months about the topic (read my blog on The Beast 2015). But this time it’s different. Rather than a bunch of runners trying to run up, over and down a beast of a mountain, this time...

This is the space where that’ll happen. I’ll be sharing recipes I’ve tried, tested and loved – old trusted ones, newly discovered ones, experimental ones. And I hope you love ‘em too.
Let the sharing begin!
