Hi team, Sam here from Frontrunner Colombo coming at you from Lockdown 2021 with Top 3's Trail Blog. Here are some of my favourite trails around Christchurch that you may not have done and that we can all look forward to.

The second half of the year is in full swing and with that comes some big updates from our major running brands.

Running is something I do, not who I am. It's how I express myself and I do it because it makes me the best version of myself.

I get asked a-lot about how we choose events, train for them and keep myself motivated and dedicated. 

The truth is, these things aren't always easy. In fact I think if you asked most athletes they would have some of these conversations 10 times over with themselves most days.  

Trail shoes in my eyes are protecting you from the environment you find yourself in. Whether that is surface, ascent or descent, potential sharp objects, low lying branches and the weather.

Plan, plan, and plan. Your body feels all stress as stress. If you are stressed about getting there, warming up, without a plan, you are wasting precious stress reserves. 

So how do we create self-belief? One that's so unbreakable, when shit is well and truly hitting the fan, it's rock solid. When every part of your brain and body is telling you to lie down and do nothing, you keep going?
