This amazing crew lined up at the Bali Hope Ultra and delivered. Podiums. A redemption run after last year’s 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, I’m just grateful I had the opportunity to walk beside them for it.

Seven weeks out from running around Australia, I stopped running.

I couldn’t even hop without pain. I knew it wasn’t muscle. It was bone. But I put off getting the MRI, because I couldn’t 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 couldn’t 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 I’d 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, you’ll wait forever.

Whatever you keep putting off until you’re ready, believe in yourself enough to start.

For most of my life I’ve buried the hard stuff and just kept moving. It’s how I got through tough times, and it’s how I ran around Australia. Head down and take the next step.

Compartmentalisation can be a superpower when you’re doing or going through hard things. You switch off the pain and survive.

What I’ve 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 can’t reach the very thing that would let me do it.

What I’m working on now is exactly that. On when I’m doing something hard. Off when I’m telling the story. That’s the skill I’m building. Starting with this šŸŽ

2026 May edition is here šŸ’Ŗ

I’m 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. I’m 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, there’s something about watching people go to battle with themselves that only those with a deep love for the sport can truly appreciate and understand.
