BOOK REVIEW – NICK MUXLOW’S GET RUN FIT

Kate Dzienis • August 31, 2021

By Kate Dzienis

Nick Muxlow is already known for his extraordinary style of run coaching, and in the last few years has seen success with his first published book Journey to 100.

Now, there’s a new book with his name on it – Get Run Fit: Improve Your Running, Finish With A Smile, and it’s all about rediscovering yourself in your running journey.

Get Run Fit outlines the methods you need to ensure you have confidence with your running again, explaining four key elements you need to get run fit.

Muxlow writes in an easy to understand style that’s not ‘basic’, but intelligent. The first half of the book is about accepting the fact that running isn’t about racing – that racing is simply part of the bigger picture, and that the sport will ultimately change your life. It’s about the fundamentals and the principles – the ‘foundations’ if you will, which will lead to the importance of targeted training and how mindset plays a deep role.

Muxlow is a run coach who really does want to help runners improve their abilities, and while reading Get Run Fit it truly did feel like he was talking directly to me.

From teaching you how to grow your mindset to staying on track and creating good habits, Get Run Fit is a guide that needs to find its place in your hands.

2026 AGM Notice (15 April 2026)

AUTRA statement regarding Snowies Trail Run Festival

March 12, 2026

AUTRA has been in direct contact with the organisers of the Snowies Trail Run Festival, In2Adventure, regarding a recent situation involving an athlete and the event’s in‑person safety briefing requirements. In2Adventure has confirmed that the situation was discussed directly with the athlete at the time. From In2Adventure’s account, and for the purpose of clarifying the public record, AUTRA notes the following points: At no stage was the athlete prevented from breastfeeding at the event. The organiser states that the following options were offered to enable the athlete to participate while still meeting safety requirements: a quiet and private space where she could breastfeed while still being present at the briefing; the option to receive the required briefing at the 30 km start line after the start; and the option to change her registration to the 21 km event, where the briefing is conducted on the start line. At no stage prior to event registration on Saturday night did the athlete contact the organiser to advise of her situation or request alternative arrangements, which limited what could be put in place at the time. Face‑to‑face safety briefings have always been a requirement for In2Adventure events due to the remote and higher‑risk nature of the trails. AUTRA was aware that in‑person briefings were used and had not raised concerns about that general approach. The organiser has indicated that this requirement is driven by safety, duty‑of‑care and insurance obligations, and follows previous experience where remote or online briefings resulted in athletes starting events without critical safety information. The organiser maintains that the event was not conducted in a manner that was intended to be non‑inclusive, inflexible or discriminatory, and that decisions made on the day were based solely on safety requirements that apply equally to all participants. AUTRA’s aim in issuing this statement is solely to clarify the context and ensure that the public record reflects the information provided to us by the organiser.
