Episode 88 - Scotty Hawker's lockdown special

Kia Ora Whanau. We’re all going through stuff at the moment, right? Distress, ennui, anger, denial, shock. All of these emotions and more as we continue to navigate COVID-19 and our nation being in lockdown. This week, we have an incandescently good conversation with Vibram athlete, 3rd place finisher at the 2019 UTMB and Christchurch native Scotty Hawker. This conversation is notable for a couple reasons: 1) Scotty discusses in depth and with frank openness how he is navigating being locked down and how this has changed his approach to running and how he is meeting these challenges; 2) this is the first ever DCR/Hawker Skype call where we’ve all be in the same timezone and got it sorted first time! We also discuss Scotty’s desire to “swap places” with his good friend Pau Capell at next year’s UTMB and also we talk about the Run At Home, Run Together event that Scotty and his wife Elizabeth are organising for Anzac Day. Enjoy.
