IT’S ALL ABOUT ME…

Hi! I’m Gillian/G/Coach G/GMacSpurr, thanks for popping by my blog. Normally I blog about races or running in general, but today’s blog is slightly different. I’ve been posting regular blogs now for the past few months, so thought it would be a good idea to do a blog about me – so you know a […]

IT’S NOT ALL JUMPING IN THE AIR AND SAYING ‘CRUSHED IT’…

Regardless of whether you are running for fitness, for fun, or are in the midst of a training cycle, there will be days when you can’t be bothered running. It happens to us all. It could be your body’s way of telling you to slow down, or you could just be feeling lazy and needing […]

HERE’S WHAT’S IN MY RUNNING HYDRATION BELT

I’m an over-packer. There I said it. I can’t go away for a night without a decent-sized suitcase, I take things ‘just in case’. So my hydration belt is kinda no different.

RUNNER’S ENVY

I’ve got serious runner’s envy. I realised I was a ‘proper’ runner about a year ago. It wasn’t because I was training for a marathon, nor that I had done a 5km, 10km or a half-marathon race in my first 8 months of running. And it wasn’t after having spent hundreds of $$$ on the […]

WHEN A PLAN DOESN’T GO TO PLAN

I’m a planner. I have to-do-lists on top of to-do-lists, but really when it comes down to it, I’m a champion procrastinator. So when it came to planning my 29 week schedule (to PB at a 5K and half-marathon, and have a fun and safe 10K and marathon), I had it planned out in my […]
