Episode 98 - Adam Keen

Kia Ora Whanau. What do you say about Adam Keen? Adam and Katie Wright were the last two people at the Riverhead Backyard Relaps Ultra Marathon and relay. Adam did 17 laps of Mt Cargill in December in 24 hour for the standing record (if Crush the Cargill does records). Adam had a job running the Routeburn track, was in the army for a bit, enjoyed banditing the odd marathon or two, is one of the cabal behind the iconoclastic Crush The Cargill podcast. Adam takes a view on life that wants us to enjoy the process rather than tick tasks off one-by-one. Above all, Adam wants us to be more savage. Which at first pass sounds a lot, right? If you consider it you’ll find out that Adam means that living a sedentary, civilized life certainly isn't the best for you. Move your body in every way and your body will reward you. We discuss his approach to racing, life, coaching, training, and why laying down a 46 minute hot lap 166km into a last person standing event is a most excellent idea. Trust him, your legs will thank you.  Enjoy
