OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE IS WHERE THE Magic HAPPENS • WELL VERSED IN TRACK AND ROAD WHEELCHAIR RACING, QUEENSLAND ELITE ATHLETE AND 2020 GOLD COAST WOMAN OF THE YEAR FINALIST NATASHA PRICE TOGETHER WITH HER COACH ADAM SHEPPARD WILL LINE UP AT THIS YEAR’S NOOSA ULTRA-TRAIL TO TACKLE THE TERRAIN HARD AND FAST. IT’S BELIEVED TO BE A WORLD-FIRST FOR ADAPTIVE ATHLETES – A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE 15KM TRAIL THROUGH THE TEWANTIN NATIONAL PARK, AND KATE DZIENIS GOT THE LOWDOWN ON HOW BOTH COACH AND ATHLETE WILL APPROACH THE RACE.

NAVIGATING RACES IN A CHANGING Climate • SO MUCH CHANGE HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WHEN IT COMES TO TAKING ALL CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE ENTERING AN EVENT. WE’RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE POPULARITY OF OUR SPORT GROWING EITHER AND DEALING WITH BIG NUMBERS – WE’RE TALKING NATURAL ALTERATIONS IN CLIMATE AND THE HABITAT AROUND US. AS HILARY MCALLISTER DISCOVERS, THESE DAYS THERE’S MUCH TO ABSORB AND PREPARE FOR THAN JUST TAKING TIME OFF WORK AND ENSURING YOUR TRAINING IS UP TO PAR – IT CAN SOMETIMES BE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOUR A RACE HAS BEEN MODIFIED OR EVEN WORSE, CANCELLED BECAUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS.

WHEN REGISTRATIONS OPENED FOR THE WILD THOUGH, RACHEL FOUND HER MOTIVATION TO GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS AND WHILST ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY, FOUND SHE HAD LEARNT A LOT ABOUT PATIENCE AND WHAT IT TOOK TO BECOME AUDACIOUS.

MAD MISSION: TRUE TASSIE Trails • THE TASMANIAN TRAIL IS A 470KM-LONG ADVENTURE FILLED WITH EXPERIENCES FOR EVERY TRAVELLER – FROM ADEPT AND SKILLED LONG-DISTANCE RUNNERS TO THOSE WHO WANT SHORTER AND MORE RELAXED EXCURSIONS FOR RELAXATION AND PHOTOGRAPHING. PIOTR BABIS SHARES WITH TRM READERS HIS 2022 (IM)POSSIBLE7 PROJECT WHERE HE TOOK ON SEVEN OF TASMANIA’S BEST TRAILS ON OFFER.

WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THE START LINE

NO GOALS, NO EXPECTATIONS

MUTTERINGS, HALLUCINATIONS & A Pirate • SOMETIMES THINGS GO ‘WEIRD’ WHEN THERE’S AN ULTRA RUN INVOLVED. AND BY WRONG, WE MEAN THE BRAIN STARTS TO GET EXHAUSTED JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE BODY, AND THE EXPERIENCE CAN LEAD TO TEMPORARY CHANGES IN SENSES. IN OTHER WORDS – HALLUCINATIONS.
