Outsider

As we all start to look forward to the year ahead, we thought we’d look at the increasingly busy trail running calendar here in South Australia and some of the events we're most looking forward to.

Whale Watching season is well and truly under way here in South Australia wildlife lover, trail runner and official Outsider Sputnik recently took the opportunity to go on a ‘combo-adventure’ doing some whale watching, wildlife photography and trail running. 

June saw the sixth running of the Tower Trail Run, in Mt Gambier on South Australia’s Limestone Coast. 

With so many events now on the running calendar, we asked Outsider Sputnik for his best tips on how to choose events when you can’t do them all.

Each year The Bloody Long Walk aims to raise money to support people living with mitochondrial disease. This year, it got personal for ioMerino Outsider Jess, who agreed to not only take part, but go even longer to help one of the kids at the local kindergarten. 

When running long distances, the slightest thing can mess with your head and divert your focus. If you are too busy thinking your top is riding up, your sock slipping, or if you're too hot or cold, your focus is gone and you struggle. We spoke to ioMerino Outsider, Sarah, about her experience running the infamous Ultra Trail Australia 50km and if her ioMerino held up against the long and cold conditions.
