This week’s guest is one of those incredible athlete’s that seems to get better when the going gets tougher and longer. She’s an Ironman and an ultrarunner, she’s an elite massage therapist and a mum. Kristen Brace is an amazingly humble endurance machine!

Kristen recently completed the prestigious Coast to Kosciusko (a 240km race from the limited to 50 of the best ultra-marathon runners in the country) and we recount her incredible journey.  Host Haddy gets some serious FOMO as we discuss Kristen's tilt at the Western States 100 miler and her ambition to complete the Tahoe200.

We get some practical advice on inter family jostling for training time and glory as well as the finer points on cycling fashion faux pars and the dreaded crop duster! Kristen opens up about the benefits of massage therapy for endurance sports and we review some of the helpful (and useless) tips and tricks for athlete self-care.
