Kia ora and Haere Mai

Another episode of Chafing the Dream. This one was fun as we answered some mailbag questions. Man do we love answering them, so please keep them coming. Even if it isn't a question and more of a comment.

We updated folks on Mallory and Dwayne's training. As usual Mal sookes in her lack of training but teases hopeful promising future plans and lands. Meanwhile, Dwayne contemplates his upcoming training block for Northland 100.

We get into answering mailbag questions related to Dwayne chasing more ultras, Rachel Entrains performance running and out right winning a 250-miler with her changes in carbs and fatigue-resistance animal, we talk about kauri dieback disease and that we believe us (as runners or walkers) could do better for our Kauri Groves, a question on running but not training for anything in particular, Imodium aka loperamide and studies showing 2-4 mg (not GRAMS) can suggest lower GI issues however THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, and finally closing with estimated race times Dwayne could have ran if he chose a flat and fast marathon course instead of a Trail Run the Bays Marathon.

We briefly tease our upcoming event the end of August. We already have some sponsors and volunteers. Can't wait to see how competes in teams for this one!!

Keep chafing your dreams y'all.
