Team CPNZ - Endurance Sports Podcast

Welcome back to the TEAMCPNZ Community Connect Podcast!
In this episode we catch up with TeamCPNZ athlete David Manning following his recent 50km ultra marathon on the West Coast Wilderness Trail. We chat about his race experience, the build up to the event, lessons from the day and even dive into his surprisingly simple pre-race meal the night before!

We also switch gears and talk family adventure, with David recently completing the Kepler Track alongside his family. We chat about how the kids handled the adventure, what they carried, and David shares some great tips for getting the whole crew outdoors, making memories and actually enjoying the journey together.

A great mix of endurance, adventure and real-life family outdoors chat.

In this episode we bring you a few finishline interviews from the very first RUN AKAROA.

Welcome to the Bonus Run Akaroa Finish Line Chats for 2026
These are always my favourite podcasts to put together, recorded live at the finish line where the legs are sore, emotions are high and the stories are real.
A massive congratulations to everyone who took part in the debut Run Akaroa event. Whether you were racing for the podium, chasing a personal goal or simply enjoying the day with friends and family, it was awesome to see the Akaroa community come alive.
From sprint finishes and champagne celebrations to runners in jeans (yes… really ), this first edition delivered plenty of memorable moments. Huge credit to Kerry Uren and the team for bringing this long-time vision to life, alongside the incredible support from Akaroa Salmon and the local community.
So kick back, start recovering those legs and enjoy hearing the stories from across an epic inaugural event

Welcome back to the TEAMCPNZ Community Connect Podcast!

This episode is a special one , recorded live on tour from the stunning Ohau Lodge during Backroad ’26, where the energy, stories, and connections are as real as it gets.
We’re joined by TEAMCPNZ athlete Hannah Gee, who gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her Backroad ’26 experience - the highs, the challenges, and what makes this adventure so unique.
We also dive into her recent crack at Ironman 70.3, unpacking the lessons learned, what went right, and what she’s taking forward.
And perhaps most inspiring of all, Hannah shares how she balances her training with life on the front line as a paramedic — offering a real and relatable insight into commitment, resilience, and making it all work.
Let’s get into it.
