Kate Davey joint Matt to talk about her progress in HYROX after her impressive performance at HYROX Amsterdam.
In this special episode, Tom speaks to three of New Balance's athletes: Kate Avery (20 Great Britain vests and 13 Europe medals across track and cross country), Zak Hanna (5th 2022 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships, 5th 2022 European Mountain Running Championships, 1st Matterhorn Ultraks Vertical) and Jacob Adkin (Gold and Silver individual medals at European Mountain Running Championship).
As well as chatting through their race successes, we discuss favourite training sessions, their top shoe choices and the events and challenges they'd each love to do.

Kia ora e te whÄnau!! Holy Hecka ... the four-day three-ring circus that is Tarawera Ultra-Trail has rolled into town for 2024, and we couldnât wait to get this out to you all as a wee bonus treat. First off, for your entertainment we have the 2024 Elite Q & A live show, featuring Ruth Croft, Daniel Jones, Kate Avery and an amazing conversation with Tim Day, the Tarawera Ultra-Trail Course Director. Next up we have a truly uplifting conversation with Troy Sachs and Zach Friedley, both adaptive athletes, both alumni of DCR, and both competing at Tarawera. Troy, who, not content with being a member of the Australian Sports Hall of Fame, and Paralympian, was setting out to set an adaptive record in the 50km. Zach Friedley, professional trail runner for On running, and founder of Born to Adapt, was in the 21km, supporting his friend Matt Bryson, an adaptive athlete also completing the 21km. Best Enjoyed Running.

Kate Ayers originally had a different sport in mind when she started at the University of Guelph, but the running community brought her in, and she has never looked back. Kate has dabbled in many distances on the track, but her heart belongs to cross country. After a tough string of injuries, sheâs now training on the west coast with the awesome Hillary Stellingwerff and has had a fiery start to 2023. She recently travelled to Australia to run at the World Cross Country Championship and is now looking to an exciting season on the track. This farm-raised female sets her eyes and heart on her goals and has some great advice on staying grounded.
