This amazing crew lined up at the Bali Hope Ultra and delivered. Podiums. A redemption run after last yearās DNF. A 17-year-old becoming the youngest known person to run across Bali. Fathers, sons, brothers, solo parents, shift workers, FIFO crews, a CEO and more, all out there chasing something most people would call mad, because it mattered to them.
I was lucky enough to be the support coach for the field of 35 runners, through monthly group calls. These 13 went a step further and worked with me 1-1 in the lead up. Getting to know them personally and seeing their hard work over several months made each of their finish line moments hit different.
The Bali Hope Ultra also raises funds for the Bali Children Foundation, which makes it all the more special to be part of.
The work was always theirs, Iām just grateful I had the opportunity to walk beside them for it.
Swipe through and read what they had to say.
5 spots open from July 6th after GC Marathon, link in bio to jump on the waitlist š
Seven weeks out from running around Australia, I stopped running.
I couldnāt even hop without pain. I knew it wasnāt muscle. It was bone. But I put off getting the MRI, because I couldnāt face it.
Once I finally got over my denial, I had the scan. 25 days before the start, it confirmed an early stress fracture.
Then came the part I really had to sit with. The date couldnāt move. Sponsors were locked in. Crew had already booked their leave. Which meant I had to come to terms with the fact that I could fail, publicly, in front of everyone.
So on the 10th of March, underdone and the heaviest Iād ever been, I stood on that start line anyway. And then I ran 13,964km around the country in 165 days, 13 hours and 26 minutes.
The conditions are never going to be perfect. If you wait for them, youāll wait forever.
Whatever you keep putting off until youāre ready, believe in yourself enough to start.
For most of my life Iāve buried the hard stuff and just kept moving. Itās how I got through tough times, and itās how I ran around Australia. Head down and take the next step.
Compartmentalisation can be a superpower when youāre doing or going through hard things. You switch off the pain and survive.
What Iāve realised recently though is I never learned the off switch. So when I sit down to tell the story, to actually connect with someone, I canāt reach the very thing that would let me do it.
What Iām working on now is exactly that. On when Iām doing something hard. Off when Iām telling the story. Thatās the skill Iām building. Starting with this š
the power of running hey
Iām so fu***ng proud of you
I love you mate
2026 May edition is here šŖ
Iām grateful to be supporting runners from all over the world this week as event ambassador and support coach.
The runners have been training and fundraising for months and are ready to rip in come Saturday night. Iām looking forward to being a part of the operations team and playing a role behind the scenes.
While I wish I was out there running alongside them and helping them take the next step, thereās something about watching people go to battle with themselves that only those with a deep love for the sport can truly appreciate and understand.
