Congratulations to all those taking part in Ultra-Trail Australia 2021 (runners, volunteers, organisers, support crew and spectators). Always a spectacular race! We love being a part of it.

The sun is setting on a stunning Saturday here in the Blue Mountains at UTA, but that doesn’t mean the action is stopping! We’ve still got plenty of UTA50 and UTA100 runners to get around the course, up Furber stairs and to the finish line!

Good luck to everyone competing in the Six Foot Track Marathon Race tomorrow. One of our favourite Aus races in the calendar.

May your lungs be strong on the uphills and your quads made of steel on the downhills (especially near the end).

Wishing you a great day out!

.. and if you have chafing at the end, consider a pairs of AERODAKS next time 😀

In case you missed it - some UTA100 2021 tickets remaining. Get in quick if interested.

This is the best ultra in Australia - running it is where we were inspired to make AERODAKS and we have been a sponsor since 2016.

They're almost gone 😱

This is your final chance to get a spot on a start line for UTA 2021! They will likely sell out by tomorrow morning, so if any little part of you wants to come run in the Blue Mountains for UTA 2021, you need to enter ASAP...

Tag your mates, convince yourself, and get your feet on that startline for the UTA100!

Great podcast from our friends Crush the Cargill and a "reasonably fast" runner / coach Kerry Suter from Squadrun. Some great banter mixed with well considered (an scientific!) training/performance advice.
Podcast: https://crushthecargill.podbean.com/e/kerry-suter-shortcuts-to-training-success/

Everything you wanted to know but were too scared to ask!

Steve zooms off to chat to Kerry Suter, a reasonably fast runner and now co-owner of Squadrun. Steve tries and fails to get answers to all the important questions like 'how to get good without training smartly' and 'why coaches are redundant'. A few other topics are covered such as cures for cramp, massage, stretching, compression tights, yoga, mind games, AERODAKS and how caffeine works as a bowel cleanser.

Not related to running, just a funny and very Australian exchange in these serious times:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXezXf_6dYI

So many things to like about this:
- the man feels no compunction in telling the Prime Minister and media crew to get off his newly seeded lawn
- the reaction and thumbs up from the PM
- the compliance of PM and media crew

Can not imagine a similar exchange in many countries around the world (except NZ)

Background: the PM was making an announcement about a home building grant

Prime Minister Scott Morrison's press conference was interrupted this morning by a man telling him and members of the press to get off his newly reseeded gra...

Running with lawnmowers and Guinness World Records

Here at AERODAKS, we try not to take ourselves too seriously, except when it comes to making the world's best sports underwear for men (very serious business).

In that spirit, we thought we would share two outstanding examples of people using AERODAKS while running and having a good time.

- Guiness world record: Fastest marathon in highland dress, Adam Keighran:
