Show Notes

This week Dwayne talks to Sam about his upcoming travel to Europe to compete in OCC in france. OCC is held by UTMB and is their 60km event. Featuring trail runners from all round the world looking to compete against the best of the best. I ask Sam about his most recent race at UTA50 and how his recovery from a rolled ankle has been going after a nasty sprain leading into UTA. How his training has been going for OCC and how he has tailored his training for a race with 3500m of vertical gain, and the difficulty of training for a race on terrain that you have not been able to run on. Mal gives us a quick update on her visa situation and on the wild fires that have been Devastating spokane last week. Keep chafing your dreaamzz
