In this episode hosts Dwayne and Hannah are joined by guest Kieran Horne, a passionate trail runner and local to Kerikeri.

The episode kicks off with a friendly chat about their recent participation in the Parihaka Half Trail run, where Dwayne, Hannah, and Kieran share their experiences and the challenges they faced during the event.

Kieran dives into his running journey, revealing how he transitioned from playing rugby to embracing long-distance running. After suffering from knee injuries, Kieran found inspiration to pursue running through his wife Tamsyn's involvement in triathlons. His early struggles with trail running at events like Wild Kiwi eventually led to a newfound love for the sport during the Routeburn Classic. Over the past year, Kieran has made significant strides in his running journey, achieving impressive improvements in his half-marathon times and completing challenging ultra-marathons like the Taupō Ultra Marathon 75K and Tarawera Ultra Marathon 102K.

The conversation delves into Kieran’s training regimen, emphasizing the importance of consistency, zone 2 training, and strength work. Kieran credits his success to his commitment, his coach's guidance, and the support from his family and community. He also shares insights into his mental strategies for enduring long races, including how he handled unexpected challenges during races, such as dehydration and fatigue.

Additionally, Kieran discusses a meaningful 12-hour endurance fundraising event he participated in, raising substantial funds for a local family in need. The episode wraps up with Kieran sharing his future goals, including participating in the upcoming King's Backyard Ultra and the Tarawera Miler, and his ultimate dream of completing the Coast to Coast race.
