Roger Hanney : Type 1 Fun | Dirt Church Radio 388
from Dirt Church Radio Trail Running
All we are is a collection of stories. As hard as we may try, we scream a narrative. It seeps from our pores. Everything speaks, from our genetics to our blood markers; our history written for us, and the history we make ourselves. We became who we are by telling stories, and at the end of the day, all any of us really want is that sense of excitement, understanding, and connection that a story gives us. Who then, is better to have on the pod this week than Roger Hanney? Ali and Matt speak to Roger about his journey and how being diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic in his early thirties altered the course of his life trajectory and led him to tackle some of the wildest ultra marathons in the world, through to the business of running with Hoka and, later, Mount to Coast. Brilliant, funny, poignant, and wise. This is an excellent yarn, and we hope you enjoy it.Dirt Church Radio – Best Enjoyed Running.--- --- ---Episode LinksRoger Hanney InstagramRoger Hanney WritingMount to CoastSign up for the DCR AidStation newsletter and never miss an episode!
