Kiwi Running Show – 034 – The Magic of the Mile

Kiwi Running Show

Show Notes

The mile holds a special place in Kiwis hearts. We’ve produced numerous champions, world record holders and medalists over the distance and its blend of speed and stamina seems to suit the Kiwi psyche to a tee.

So this week we catch up with one of NZ’s greatest ever milers, Nick Willis, we hear from some everyday runners, and we talk to event organisers sharing ideas on how to train for, race and enjoy the mile.
