    Kirstie Law and Luke Latimer

    Kate chats to Kirstie and Luke about their race in the Arctic last month. They talk about the cold and how dangerous it can be, what it’s like to ski and hike pulling a pulk and how they joined up to finish the race together. Competing in such an extreme environment, they discussed their mindsets on the event and the fact that despite putting aside all thoughts of competitiveness, they managed to podium. Apologies for Luke’s audio at the start, but he does manage to improve it later on. Photo Courtesy: The Spine Thanks for tuning in!

    Robin and I chat to Eric from Rasselbock Running. We discover where the name Rasselbock comes from and learn about his event format, which is focused on his runners and the community he has built up. Most of Rasselbock events are timed, which makes them inclusive to everyone, whether they want to complete one loop or race against the clock to see how many loops they can get in the time. We discuss the community that he has built around this and the concept certainly seems to work, as he now puts on 36 events a year.
