It's Coming!

My second book....

And now I’ve gotta talk about it. Tell people what to expect, what it’s all about.
Because I’m so excited to see it out in the world.
And honestly? I feel super awkward trying to describe it.

But… I felt the same when I first tried to explain trail running to people.
And sometimes, I still do.

Practice. Get in the reps.

Here we go.

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

You know your first step and your next one.
You feel clear. Supported. Energised.
And you’re on the path to your best trail running year yet.

That’s what happens when you use this Playbook.

I’m Melina Mellino. Trail runner, race director, and the Woohoo behind Perth Trail Series.

For more than a decade, I’ve been creating events that get thousands of people off the sidelines and onto the trails.
I’ve seen nervous beginners turn into confident runners, and seasoned athletes push for that next podium.
From 5km fun runs to 100km ultras, I’ve watched trails change lives.

Then I wrote a book, Uncivilise Yourself: Run from the Ordinary into Adventure, sharing stories about my life, my journey, and the framework that’s supported me through it all.
People who’ve read it say it makes them want to go for a trail run, even when they’re not a runner.

So I created The Playbook to help you take the next step on that journey.

Together we’ll map out your best trail running year with all the steps laid out clearly.
It’s designed for action-takers who want a simple, deliberate plan that feels easy to follow and exciting to live.

You’ll feel supported by resources, motivated by progress, and reminded every day of what to do and why you’re doing it.

Through a simple concept I call 1s, 2s and 3s, you’ll get crystal clear on where you’re going, what supports you along the way, and the next step to take.

For anyone ready to feel that spark again, on the trails and in life.
Get your shoes on. Get going. Remember why you’re doing it.
Deliberate clarity and consistency for chasing what matters.
