This week’s mindful moment invites you to tune into something often overlooked: listen for the silence between the sounds. Whether you’re inside or out, begin by noticing the sounds around you—traffic, birds, voices, footsteps. Then shift your attention to the pauses between them. The stillness between notes. The breath between words.

Silence isn’t empty—it has a presence of its own, and learning to hear it can gently quiet your mind and ground your body.

It’s a simple way to reconnect with the deeper rhythm of your environment—the one beneath the noise.

Spend just five minutes with this practice, and see how it can bring calm and clarity to your day.

In this third Delirious WEST 2026 check-in, I catch up with the ever-thoughtful Eve Knudson, and honestly… this is one of those conversations that reminds you why we run.

Fresh off the Three Inch race, Eve shares how a day that “wasn’t meant to be a big deal” turned into one of those magic runs where everything just clicks — the legs feel good, the pacing makes sense, the fueling works, and suddenly you realise… maybe the training is actually working.

We talk about the power of simple consistency, why Eve has stopped getting caught up in Strava comparison, and how doing less (but regularly) is often more than enough when your goal isn’t to win — it’s to keep showing up and enjoying the process.

There’s also plenty of real-life honesty: summer heat in WA, holiday routines, mental fatigue, getting lost on trails, strength training avoidance (very relatable), and the logic gymnastics of spending $18 on coffee but hesitating over a gym membership 😂.

As Delirious WEST creeps closer, Eve’s focus is clear: keep running a few times a week, train smart in the heat, avoid comparison traps, and stay excited. No pressure. No overthinking. Just steady, joyful forward motion.

A beautiful reminder that you don’t need to do everything — you just need to keep doing something.

In this third Delirious 2026 check-in, I’m sitting down in person with Nikki Frost while she’s home in Tasmania for Christmas — which means plenty of giggles, real talk, and a very honest training update.

Since we last spoke, Nikki tackled the Mount Buller Skyrun 46km and, while her fitness and strength are clearly trending in the right direction, nutrition is still the big question mark. She shares what happened when the throwing up kicked in again, how close she came to a DNF, and why having her brother Ben crewing made all the difference in getting her to the finish line.

We talk elevation, effort, gastric reflux, experimenting with sports nutrition (hello maple syrup gels), and why speed isn’t actually the trigger everyone assumes it is. Nikki also reflects on what this means for her Delirious W.E.S.T. journey — spoiler: the distance doesn’t scare her, but fuelling over multiple days absolutely matters.

There’s also a first test of brand-new running poles on the Walls of Jerusalem trails, some upcoming race plans on the horizon, and an unexpected star of the episode: Cocoa Pops as a pre-run fuel strategy (Santa-approved 🎅).

It’s an open, funny, and thoughtful check-in about learning your body, staying curious, and keeping perspective when things aren’t quite dialled in yet — with plenty of confidence that Nikki is building something strong for the long haul.
