In this episode of the Perfect Flow Podcast I banter with running nut Kristian Day, or K Day for short. Kristian and I got into trail running around the same time as teenagers, him from a road running background and I from orienteering. We caught up casually when I was in Wellington recently and shared some yarns over our love of running as a discipline and as a community. Initially, this was more of a “why not?” recording because Kristian is just a such a good dude. But, in hind sight, hearing the ups, downs, insights and philosophies of a mere mortal (sorry bro) brings a different, and complementary, sense of relevance than I get from an international super star. We spend so much time trying to copy the best that we might be missing some learning opportunities closer to home.
The topics we cover are:
- Fermenting food
- Kristian’s background
- The scene at his club, Wellington Scottish
- His early influences and the advice he still holds onto
- The hook of ultra trail running
- More tips and tid bits
