Hanny Allston's letter to kMR runners!

Hanny Allston, Tassie trail running legend, coach and founder of trail running store, Find Your Feet (our Ultra 67km Solo run partner) has some advice just for our runners!

Hello eager mountain runner!

I am just writing to wish you wild running success for the kunanyi Mountain Run Ultra 67km solo or Teams, Mountain Run 25km, Vertical Kilometre or Footfhills 9km ‘newby’ events which are now just 4.5 weeks away! I am sure you are currently leaning in and doing your very best to reach the start line ready, rested and eager to play & perform wilder. Therefore, today I just wanted to give you some tips and tricks to focus on over this last month of preparations.

With 5 weeks to go...

1.   Don’t lose the joy! Training and your physical preparations are certainly really important in these next few weeks, so too is readying your mindset, gear and race day strategies. However, make sure you focus back on why you signed-up for this event in the first place… because it was a fun challenge amongst a great atmosphere & community! Check-in with your fatigue levels and make sure that you are staying safe and playful. Such an approach will only lead to success and attainment in training over the upcoming weeks.

2. Enjoy your last long mission run. I always recommend completing this 4-6 weeks out from the event. So, if you haven’t practice-packed your vestpack and headed out the door with all your race-day strategies up your slea ve for a nice, leisurely long run, now is the time to do so! If you are completing th e Ultra 67km solo event, I would suggest this run is a run-hike of duration 4-5 hours. If you are going to participate in the Mountain Run 25km event, I would recommend this run-hike to be around 2-3 hours. The run-hike should be at a safe, enjoyable pace and not necessarily at race effort! For all other events, just enjoy a leisurely hike-run of a duration that feels safely achievable and gives you confidence for your chosen event.

3. Check your mandatory gear and race-day requirements. Do you have the kit you need? A pair of shoes you feel comfortable and confident in? A nutrition & hydration plan that you can trust? Now is the time to gather this all together and practice, practice, practice. If you need a hand, head into one of our Find Your Feet stores here in Hobart or Launceston, or jump onto our website to chat with us about your queries. We are only too happy to help!

And Hanny has some extra tips and tricks for race day in her podcast!

Remember! Find Your Feet is kindly offering 20% to kMR runners! So when you head in to get your gear checked, you can always pick up the bits and pieces you don't have!

Happy shopping, getting your mandatory gear sorted - and that last long mission! Where are you headed?

Lincoln and the rest of the kMR team!
