    Hi everyone, I just wanted to pop an update up from Austria now that the race is all done and dusted.

    I'm so wrapped to have had this amazing experience thanks to you all. I wont lie the race wasn't quite the showing I was hoping for, but I am so proud to have had the opportunity.

    Thank you all for believing in me, I will always remember the feeling of pulling on that singlet on race morning 😊 Lots of amazing take aways from the week over here, I'm looking forward to getting home and back to normal life and routine next week.

    Much love and appreciation,

    Andy

  • 5 weeks to go 🛫

    5 weeks to go until World Champs!

    A little overdue for an update for those who are following along...

    The last couple of weeks have flown by with the school holiday juggling act, so hence the tardy update! Rest assured there has been lots of training of course!

    It’s really just about keeping it simple at the moment with training and the everyday routine, so there isn’t a whole lot of exciting things to report on.

    In the next few weeks I’ll start to get more specific adding in more technical trail work and some heat acclimation to the routine as well 🔥

    I’m loving the journey so far and finding it as easy as I can ever remember to get out the door for training, if nothing else this is a huge win!

    Some extra motivation also arrived over the weekend in the form of our team NZ kit 🤩

    Check it out!🕺

    The Givealittle page is going super well thanks to this FANTASTIC community, we've managed to raise a good chunk of the funds needed for the trip. A BIG thank you to all who have gotten behind me!

    Have a great week ahead! ✌️

  • Week 2

    Well there goes another week. And it was BUSY!

    Amongst all of that busyness we hit the $5000 mark for incoming donations. Absolutely mind blowing guys & thanks so much for helping to get the word out. The trip is really starting to come to life now, flights are booked 😊✈️

    Only 6 weeks to go…

    Christchurch Marathon weekend has been and gone, I had a large group of athletes that I’m coaching taking part in the event. It was fantastic sharing their joy as they came across the finish line. Mostly smiles, but a few grimaces as well.

    I really enjoyed pacing good friend Kat Camp in her half marathon and tying it in with my Sunday long run.

    Amongst the busy week my training was solid. Racking up over 10 hours of running including some good vertical elevation and over 140 kms, plus that very important gym strength work needed for the mountains.

    Have an awesome week ahead team 🙌

    Wow what a week, it’s been pretty overwhelming seeing the Givealittle contributions rolling in & I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for the support and love felt.

    Lots of you have shared my original post and this has no doubt helped a ton!

    It’s been a solid week of training, around 11 hours including some specific gym work and just shy of 140km of running with three hill sessions.

    I’m going to keep these updates coming for those of you who are interested in following along over the next couple of months. (just mute me if I get annoying) 😉
