While you might be physically ready to race, don’t forget to train your mind, says head trainer Ben Lucas.  If you’re wanting to get a ‘runner's body’, the good news is you already have one, says TSC Sydney Marathon Head Coach Ben Lucas.    “Anyone who runs has a runner’s body,” he says. “Being fit is only one part of it. You can be in the best shape of your life, but if you’re not mentally prepared for the quiet moments, the hurt, or the doubt, you’re going to struggle.   As

Training isn’t just about chasing a PB. There’s a way to run smarter – for you and the environment, says Alice Kendall, Founder of Pledge for the Planet. When I started  Pledge for the Planet,  it wasn’t about being perfect. It was about doing what I could, and inviting others in. So, instead of fundraising, we decided to ‘action-raise’. It’s a simple but effective concept. Participants ask their community to commit to a climate pledge in support of their event.  Instead of t

Somewhere between the endorphins and exhaustion, running along the Thames in London while listening to  Turning the Tide on Plastic , I felt a growing wave of climate anxiety, and a need to do something about it. I’d always used running to raise money for causes I cared about. But this time, I didn’t wa

There’s something chill about hitting the pavement after dark, so here are a few ways to stay safe on night runs.

Running should feel freeing (not fearful), says TCS Sydney Marathon Head Coach Ben Lucas. Here’s how small, deliberate actions can make it safer for everyone! This is important. Over the years coaching in Sydney, I’ve learnt something that changed how I run sessions:   • Men head out thinking about pace • Women tend to head out thinking about safety – the route, the lighting, the time of day, and who’s around.    That reality deserves respect. If someone doesn’t feel safe, th

Think you have no time for strength training? Think again, says TCS Sydney Marathon Head Coach Ben Lucas. You just need to find the gaps in your day. Most people don’t lack discipline – they lack time, says TCS Sydney Marathon Head Coach Ben Lucas.    “Or more accurately, they lack a perfect 60-minute window,” he adds. “But you don’t need one.”   If you’re training for Sydney, strength isn’t about long gym sessions. It’s all about small deposits done often. Especially if you
