We lead with Blind Ambition, a story about vision, determination and what it really means to chase a goal on the trails where our editor Kate Dzienis talks with Dale Pierce about how he came to lose his vision, and how he got into running despite the challenge of losing sight.

From there, Kate also talks with American ultra runner Alyssa Clark for Guts & Glory. Alyssa has lived with ulcerative colitis since she was ten, and she talks openly about fuelling, flare-ups, her Mt Whitney FKT and her podium finish at TDS, and about why she runs beside her illness rather than from it.

Next, we head into Tasmania’s wild south west with the runners who took on its remote terrain, and we look at why running in the great outdoors beats hitting the treadmill, with the case for taking your training outside.

Our gear section is bigger than ever, with six shoe reviews, plus a hydration belt, a smartwatch, a headlamp and nutrition and recovery products, all tested on the trails.

Your letters are here too, from a coach in Alice Springs laying bricks of her own to a mum who reminds us she’s still Sara.

As always, the photography is stunning and the stories are honest. Turn the page, there’s plenty of trail ahead.
