Previous Episode: Prepping for an Outback Queensland bikepacking trip. Sarah on planning for her upcoming Sandstone Wilderness mission.

Next Episode: Toby Lukins. Bikepacking the 4000+ km Great Divide Mountain Bike Route on a homemade, wooden bicycle.

Fresh off her awesome run, completing her third Run Queensland, Blackall 100KM, Sarah takes the host spot in this episode and chats to Kristen, less than 24 hours afterwards, about her experience at this iconic Sunshine Coast ultra trail run event.

This is a great opportunity to hear Kristen’s personal experience of running 100kms - amidst a very busy life beyond running - and whether you’re an experienced trail runner, interested to hear the perspective of another athlete, or you’re curious about what it takes to participate in an endurance event of this scale, there’s something in here for you!

We talk about training and injury; preparation; coaching; the “why”; race day experiences; nutrition; community and all the highs and lows that come with such an epic achievement.

You can find out more about the Blackall 100 here. We also reference some of our favourite podcasts including Megan and David Roche’s Some Work All Play Podcast (woooohoooo - if you know, you know); the recently launched female, pro athlete led podcast Trail Society and Jason Koop’s KoopCast. Kristen mentions the awesome book from Stacey Sims, ROAR and shout out to Sunshine Coast locals Rachel and Jason from Infinit Nutrition Australia.
