📢 Reminder
There will be no Sunday Long Run group until 26th July.
If you're building towards a race and following a structured Kraken training plan, make sure you still get out there and tick off your scheduled long run kms. Consistency is what gets you to the start line ready to race. 🐙🤟🤟

Today was one of those days! 🔥
Alex smashed another 5km PB, running 25:53... and that was with a shoelace stop! 😂 Incredible! She joined Kraken in May and has already gone from 28:52 to 25:53. That's an amazing improvement in such a short time.
Meanwhile, Kimberley quietly backed up last week's 33:12 PB by taking another chunk off, crossing the line in 32:49. The best part? She said it didn't even feel like she was pushing! That's what consistent training does. 💪
A huge congratulations as well to Alex and Tracey on reaching 100 parkruns today. What an awesome milestone! 👏
Days like today are why I love coaching. Watching this crew achieve things they once thought were out of reach fills me with so much pride. Your wins genuinely feel like my own. Keep chasing those goals, Kraken! 🐙💜
Athlete Recognition Time! 🐙🔥
Massive Kraken kudos to Andrew!
Back in February, Andrew was battling an injury that could have easily derailed his goals. With the guidance of his sports physio, a customised Kraken training plan, and plenty of patience and hard work, he fought his way back.
Last Saturday, Andrew didn't just complete his first ever half marathon—he absolutely smashed it, crossing the line in an impressive 1:48! 💪
This result didn't happen by chance. It was earned through consistency, trust in the kraken process, and showing up week after week. Watching how far you've come has been awesome, Andrew, and I couldn't be prouder.
But he's not done yet...
While quietly putting in the work behind the scenes, Andrew has also been building his bike run fitness. On 18th July, he'll toe the start line at the Wellcamp Toowoomba Duathlon for his first ever duathlon.
This isn't just any race either—it's the Queensland State Championship and a World Championship qualifying event. That's a huge stage for a debut, and I have every confidence this machine is going to do something special.
Let's get behind Andrew and wish him all the best...
Kraken style! 🐙💜🔥

🧠 Friday Thought
You spend weeks—sometimes months—training for one race.
Early mornings. Tired legs. Missed sleep-ins. Long runs. Speed sessions. The discipline to keep showing up, even when you didn't feel like it.
Then race day arrives.
You cross the finish line... and it's over.
Instead of feeling nothing but excitement, many runners are surprised by a sense of emptiness or feeling a little deflated.
Why?
Because the race was never just about the finish line. It gave you purpose, structure, and something meaningful to work towards. Your daily routine changed, your focus shifted, and suddenly that goal you've been chasing is gone.
That feeling is completely normal.
Don't mistake the end of a race for the end of your journey.
Take time to recover. Celebrate what you've achieved. Reflect on how far you've come. Then, when you're ready, set a new goal—big or small.
The finish line isn't where your running story ends.
It's where the next chapter begins. 🐙💙

Running is better together. Different goals. Different paces. One Kraken crew. 🐙💪
Let’s hear it for Kraken Tony! 🐙🔥 Sub-4 @ Gold Coast Marathon … YEWWW!
This guy is an absolute weapon — mentally and physically strong, and I’m genuinely in awe of what he has achieved. A sub-4 marathon is HUGE!
Not only did he hold an incredible pace over such a demanding distance, but he did it while battling injury. That takes resilience, determination, and a serious amount of grit.
Massive cheers to you, Tony! 👏🏃♂️ Kraken crew is incredibly proud. 🐙💙
