16.01.2022 anyone who runs a long way or for a long period of time knows it's not just about the action of running - as we run along we have conversations in our heads (sometimes out loud) - we debate things, solve problems and reflect - this is part of the reason why we do it this is a great documentary from SalomonTV about just that - really really long run and the thoughts and feelings along the way #gorun #comerunin21 #Lakes100 ...

It is going to be a big year next year and we caqn't wait to see you on the start line cheers Fully Rad Adventures

15.01.2022 You already knew that running is good for you mentally as well as physically but here's a study from ASICS to prove it. These findings support previous evidence which has demonstrated that regular exercise is effective to prevent and treat mental health conditions. Overall, the study by ASICS reinforces what we instinctively know: physical activity makes us feel better and never has there been a more important time to become active and experience the mental health benefits f...rom movement.

13.01.2022 Add this to your lock down watch list Unbreakable - Western States 100 - free to watch on YouTube #LiveFullyRad... Fully Rad Adventures

12.01.2022 Looking for a worthwhile ultra distance running documentary then watch Brothers in the Sand - it is on Prime We watched it the other night and loved it - very inspirational and a unique look at one of the world's toughest runs + yes there was some sand running!...

11.01.2022 Love this - why do you run?

11.01.2022 if you can go for a run maybe grab the opportunity while you can - things are moving pretty fast at the moment #LiveFullyRad #GoRun... Fully Rad Adventures

10.01.2022 You can achieve anything you put your mind to - including running a really really long way. While the slower pace, stunning surroundings and plentiful snacks should serve to encourage all runners to consider trying an ultra, the mileage involved should never be taken lightly. If you put the training in you will succeed... #lakes100 #comerun21 Fully Rad Adventures

10.01.2022 Shout out to Monique from Elemental Adventures who tackled the Lakes100 course yesterday raising funds for a worthy cause Monique you are a legend

09.01.2022 LAKES100 2020 CANCELLED I hope that you are all healthy, getting some outside time and staying safe. These are challenging times and I know that many people have been impacted medically, financially and emotionally during this time of quarantine and uncertainty. As you know Fully Rad Adventures has been in a ‘wait and see’ mode for the last month watching how COVID-19 has impacted the country and discussing options with LAKES100 stakeholders and suppliers. As of this week I s...till cannot secure access guarantees and am not comfortable with leaving a decision any longer. Therefore I have decided to not hold the LAKES100 on July 4&5. Further, despite having approval, I won’t run with the back up date on the first weekend of November. Many events cancelled early and transferred to dates in Oct and Nov saturating the end of the year. There are still no guarantees that these events will run and I do not want to cause further congestion and compromise the LAKES event. So the inaugural LAKES100 will be held July3&4 2021. All 2020 entrants will be automatically transferred to their respective LAKES 2021 race. When coming to this decision I considered four factors: a) The amount of money, time, effort, training and planning that goes into getting ready for and participating in such an event. I understand that some or even all of these might not be doable at the moment. b) There is no clear date when lockdown restrictions will be lifted and I will have safe and permissible access to the Myall Lakes National Park and MidCoast Council public areas to overlay the event as well as run it. c) The LAKES100 relies on relationships with a number of suppliers, accommodation providers and local businesses that have equally been impacted COVID-19 restrictions. d) The glut of events in the second half of the year and potential for a 30+ day, total fire ban and park closure in November. (Which happened in 2019!) This was not an easy decision to make and I had hoped the 2020 event could survive the restrictions. Please understand I am as disappointed as you are. There has already been a significant amount of energy and resources sunk into the event. It is the result of many years of planning and I was looking forward to it finally becoming a feature of the ultra running calendar. The Myall Coast community is equally disappointed. I will now have to wait until 2021 to blow your socks off. All 2020 entrants have been emailed with options for their entry and I hope they will all lock in to 2021. Once again I am sorry you aren’t going to experience the beauty of running through the Myall Lakes this year but look forward to seeing you on the start line on Saturday July 3 2021. Stay safe Richard Old Fully Rad Adventures

08.01.2022 This is a good article all about sand running. Each Lakes Trail Running distance will have some sand running in it. This is nothing to be afraid of. All it requires is the same focus you would give stair running. Start incorporating some sand running into your training and come race day you will nail it. "It’s all about adaptation and adjustment. In the sand, you’ll want a shorter stride, quicker turnover and more arm pumping to stay balanced. In order to still be getting a ...benefit and building ability, you shouldn’t be straining and should feel relaxed. Once you get to your goal workout, don’t keep increasing the length or effort."

08.01.2022 Merry Christmas from Fully Rad Adventures - see you next year at the LAKES100

07.01.2022 If you have left your Christmas shopping to the last minute or are stuck in lock down or are contemplating just getting socks maybe get them something that will change their life - an entry into the LAKES100 (or 75, 50, 25) This kind of Christmas gift is guaranteed to spark conversation and inspire If you let us know it's for a gift we will send you a funky LAKES100 voucher to print off and put with the card + we can sort entry details after Christmas ...

07.01.2022 early bird entries are open for Lakes100 2021 with just over 10 months till race weekend there is plenty of time to train up for your race

05.01.2022 There's some good summer holidays reading in this list. A smart runner trains their mind as well as their body.

05.01.2022 We do love watching running documentaries - we've seen some of these - do you have a favourite not on the list? #lakes100 #livefullyrad #comerun21 Fully Rad Adventures

04.01.2022 This weekend would have been race weekend but the universe had other ideas One of our runners, however, decided to still run the course and raise funds for the Yacaaba Centre at the same time. Check out Monique's page and you see some special pics from the course + you can follow her journey this weekend as well. Send some coin to the fund raising as well - it's a worthy cause

01.01.2022 What to do when your first 100k trail run is cancelled? Go and run it anyway and raise money for charity One of our very good friends is still running 100k on July 4 as planned but raising funds for her local charity in the process....
