Rockhoppin’ Trail
about Linda Doke
Three decades (plus) of ultra-distance running began with a chunk of years on tar (incl 10 Comrades, 16 Two Oceans) and followed with more than 20 years of trail, racing through canyons, on beaches, deserts, islands, glaciers, salt flats, over mountains, escarpments and peaks. Seven years ago I added a coaching focus, passing on the lessons I’ve learned to help others seeking to reach beyond their comfort zones discover their full potential.
Interview with Ian Corless
Interview with Andrew King
This quiet soul with a big heart for adventure has travelled far and wide across the globe, bringing fascinating stories to life on our screens. He’s tackled a fair share of daring adventures himself (not least of which includes hiking to the top of Kilimajaro barefoot) but his quiet-spoken nature sees him preferring to be out of the limelight.

Interview with Craig Kolesky
Craig Kolesky is a big gun. As a Red Bull photographer, he has shot motorcross, big wave surfing, skateboarding, climbing, kitesurfing, cycling, lifestyle, sport portraits… and oh yes, trail running!
Interview with Jeff Ayliffe
In this week’s interview in my favourite-photographer series, we meet the multi-talented Jeff Ayliffe, whose ability to put a GoPro through its paces while he dangles 30m above the ocean from the mast of an ocean-going yacht, is astonishing. I’ve always loved Jeff’s photography – not only his trail running stills, but his video work on the ocean and from the air, all of which make my toes curl.
Interview with Peter Kirk
Peter Kirk is best known for the images he captured during David Grier’s Miles for Smiles runs – across Cuba, the length of Thailand, and soon the Great Wall of China. Peter’s shots capture not only the enormity of those challenges, but the essence of the people of those countries.
Interview with Erik Vermeulen
“The one thing I’m really passionate about is potential – human potential. When I’m shooting an event, I try to capture the quest that everyone has: to run faster, further, higher and steeper, to find the limits of their potential.”
Interview with Xavier Briel
Interview with Mark Sampson
This is the sixth in the series of interviews I’ve done with trail photographers I’ve met over my years of trail running – lens pros whose work has the magic ability to capture far more than just mandatory sports action, their images really grab our attention, making us feel like we’re there, breathing the dust and feeling the slosh of mud on our cheek.
Interview with Sven Musica
In this, the fifth of my favourite-trail-photographer interviews, I chat to Sven Musica, commercial, industrial and trail photographer based in Mpumalanga.
