Chafing the Dream NZ

Show Notes

Kia ora Welcome to a funnnn episode of several different voices besides the usual Mal and Dwayne yarning and yarning and yarning away. I don't know if you can tell at this point, but I (Mal) writes the pod description and truly believe nobody even reads this bloody thing. Anyways...

Mal and Dwayne do the usual banter of training updates. Mal shares her weight training and speed sessions. She also shares insights from her previous coach in consideration to monitoring heart rate while pregnant. Dwayne updates on his training for the week. He completed 6 x 30 sec uphill and then had plans to do a 30k but cut it short to 20k because the bod wasn't feeling right.

Next we get our boi Sam Rout to discuss the vibes of Race Tekapo and how he felt he did on the course. We loved talking about the Kea series, the development of Race Tekapo and potential growth it has for New Zealand Trail Races. Sam shared the terrain of Race Tekapo with the trail conditions. Thanks Sam for giving us your time!

We are lucky enough to get two voices memos from our Race Tekapo 50k champs Frances Redmond and Max Yanzick. Both sharing the knowledge about the course and how their training leading up to it has been. Plus some insider plans of what their A races are for the year. Thank you Frances and Max, it was an absolute privilege to hear from you both!

We have postponed the Chafing the Coin Collection the 15th November, Sunday. Start collecting your team mates for this event! It will be a fun one with killer good SPOT PRIZES!!!

Keep chafing your dreamzzzzz. Byyyyyyeeeee
