Episode 78 - Ruth Croft

Kia Ora Whanau. This week we come bolting out of the gate with a Dirt Church Radio mega-special of incredibleniscity. Matt and Eugene are reunited in the same hemisphere and same room to run down the plethora of news, Greatest Runs Ever, Stuff You Should Know and also RUTH. FREAKING. CROFT. Matt spoke to Ruth about her triumphant 2019, the importance of looking after yourself and having periods of calm, hiking in Nepal (and unforeseen effects that altitude has on the *ahem* body), and the trifles of coming second at the world trail running champs and qualifying for the world athletics championships with a 2:35:15 Seoul Marathon, and that’s just for starters. As a bonus, and because we all need more Running Beast in our lives, we sneak in a bijou interview-ette with Shaun Collins about finishing the Revenant, his recovery, and how much hallucinating is too much hallucinating... . Enjoy!
