It has been great to see so many new faces at training over the last few weeks and especially to watch some of you participating in your very first trail run last Sunday. You were all looking really strong at the end and holding good form. I really love seeing new people get confidence on the trails with your run times starting to drop off and your race positions getting closer to the pointy end. Great job and keep up the hard work.

This month, we have news about a new run location to vary our training, the G20 Summit and the Brisbane Trail Running Series. This is all rounded off with a new personal challenge, our latest race results.

With lots of new people coming each week, make sure you take the time to say hello and make another runner feel welcome. They may even become your new best running buddy. Joining us for a post run coffee is a great opportunity to say more than a hurried ‘hello’ to your fellow runners and get to know each other better.

It’s been an exciting few weeks here at Wild Runners HQ. We’re so happy to see so many new faces and to help many of you take your first steps towards your goals. If you spot someone you don’t know at a session, take a moment to say hello and make them welcome. Finding friends to run with is as important as getting fit for the trails! Don’t use this chatting as an excuse to miss an effort though!!!

Last Sunday we were at Enoggera Reservoir for Round 1 of the Brisbane Trail Running Series and it was a great event. With a huge proportion of the 300 runners new to trails, the series is an exciting addition to the trail run calendar. Our photos of the event are here. Can you see yourself?
