  • Summary

  • “I kind of always thought if you hear yourself say someone should do that, it's a good sign, that you should be doing that. If you'd read that or listen to that or want that, someone else probably would as well.”Bradley Houghton realized there was a need that could be filled in the New Zealand trail running scene. As someone who loves the sport, he wanted to shine more light on all the amazing races across the country. So he started Trail Running NZ and it’s been growing ever since. The growth is a happy accident of sorts, as he got into trail running because a road marathon didn’t go so well, and he thought a trail ultra couldn’t be any worse. The rest, as they say, is history, and now Bradley is a big part of the coverage of trail running in his home country. “I found myself, the more I kind of drill into something the more obsessed I get with it and so it's like you want to cover more. But you don't want to start sending three emails a week. So it kind of naturally gets a bit bigger. But really, it's all about the results.”Bradley was a ton of fun to chat with. It took us a while to record together as the time difference between us was a challenge. But it was worth the wait to hear all about his substack and why he started it! I’m sure you will enjoy the episode as much as I did, and make sure to let us know. The Long RunEpisode 2 with Keeley Milne was another huge success. We’re grateful Keeley came on and shared her story and we’re thrilled these episodes have been received so well. The downloads have piled up and we’re excited to keep them coming. Make sure to check out Keeley’s episode if you haven’t already:Ep. 120 The Long Run. Featuring Keeley Milne“I knew that I was going to die and that was made very clear to me by people in the hospital and by a doctor that I had seen. And I knew I had very limited time. I was having a lot of seizures. Whenever alcohol got out of my system, I would have a seizure. So I was having to drink, even though I didn't want to.”Read full storyFood Fight FridayI enjoy doing these shows with Jason Bahamundi.
