The mountain and cross-country running scene is as big here as elsewhere of course, though only a few events are within easy reach of my home. That said there are plenty of bush tracks which offer scope for long runs within a few kilometres of home. I've generally avoided these as they seemed like overkill for my LSDs for road races, but this year I'm pretty much determined to give them a try, figuring if I can do 30+ kilometres off road then it will make the road races seem that much easier. Maybe.
As ever, stay tuned!
