Beyond the Road
The way we see the world is shaped by the knowledge we inherit, the experiences we carry, and the beliefs we hold onto. These stories quietly become part of who we are, shaping the lives we choose to build.
More than any race or medal, running has become a way to ask questions closer to home, between one another and within ourselves.
Who are we?
Where did we come from?
What are we running for?
How are we running it?
We are always living in the space between the past and the future. Beyond the Road is a space to explore the stories unfolding in the very present. To look beyond the miles, the results, and the finish lines, and discover the deeper meaning in the journeys we share.
Every athlete carries a story. Each one can take us through a dream and back to a reality we have never seen before, or to one we now see in a new light.

Holly Campbell
Holly and her group train at ES Marks every Tuesday. It was great to see many training groups back at the track in preparation for the upcoming track season.
Sota Maehara
Meet Sota, and this is his story at the Narrabeen track meet hosted by @sydneyathleticsacademy. It was the first post-lockdown opportunity for everyone to race again. Some great performances but I am sure to many, it means a lot more than just a good result.
Emma Mahon
This is Emma (@emmaamahon ) and she is training for the 800, 1500 and 5000m in the upcoming track season. I asked her to share about her recent workout with Run Crew.

Rewriting the Ultramarathon Manual
"This was an ultra unlike any other. No conservatism, no caution. Redline it from my first step to my last - be ready to suffer and hope I don't come up short. It's incredible how far we can push ourselves when we let go of fear."

After months of training for a 100 miles ultra, Sara found herself at the start line of Canberra Marathon with only four weeks of preparation. It was an interesting race for her as she tested out her ultra legs on the road. Here she shares about her race day where she finished her 10th marathon in 3:20:25 with a massive 9 min PB.
