Team CPNZ - Endurance Sports Podcast

Welcome back to another episode of CP Community Connect.

In this episode we catch up with long-time TeamCPNZ athlete James Kay. Over the past almost 10 years with the team, James has taken on a huge range of adventures and events, from multisport and mountain biking through to running and triathlon.
Earlier this year in Taupō, James delivered yet another personal best performance, qualifying for the 70.3 Triathlon World Championships in Nice, a massive achievement and the next step towards his biggest goal yet.
In today’s episode we chat training, racing, consistency, balancing life and sport, and everything in between as James prepares for the biggest challenge of his endurance journey so far.

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
