    I usually run 30-40+ kms, plus two gym sessions (focusing on free weights and strength training) a week. These are usually lunch time sessions with a longer run on weekend if I get up early enough.

    Seems to work well enough for the limited times i manage to get out in the hills, especially at the moment with two young children at home.

    Just ran a very steep and technical 23km bush race last weekend, so feeling match fit for the Roar.

    Offroad half marathons/bigger I find are brilliant training for general hunting. Nice work

    Yeah I agree, this was my first one and I really enjoyed it. Am going to try and keep doing an offroad half every quarter for the next year.

    Much better than pounding the pavement doing road races.
