Chafing the Dream NZ

Show Notes

Kia ora Welcome to another kiwi-americas running duo episode with Mal and Dwayne. Mal and Dwayne bring on the usual Kiwi and Americana banter, especially with the recent 4th of July celebration. We talk through the usual trading updates which transitions nicely into Dwayne updating folks on the VERT Challenge. We discuss his game plan and how he is coping currently with the climbing. So far, so good! Dwayne sneaks in a short guest segment with Matt and Pat doing the Vert Challenge. Gosh they are a hoot. As of day 7 with 700m completed they are all remaining in the challenge. Mal talks about her training and transitions into her recent Physiotherapy Appointment with Dr.Stephanie Mundt. Dr. Mundt provides Mal with clear strength training programme and a return to run. Both Mal and Dwayne reflect on how/why there have been so many bone stress injuries based off of what Dr.Mundt findings were. We also correct ourselves from the previous episode regarding the times for the Northland 100 race start times. Thanks for your loyalty. We love y'all. Keep chafing your dreamzzzz
