Chris Bisley in amongst the green, in the green.

Chris Bisley in amongst the green, in the green.

Kia ora Whanau. This week, Eugene and Matt talk to Chris Bisley about his Southern Seasons Miler campaign. That is four 100 mile races in the South Island in a calendar year. Those races are Northburn 100, Hanmer 100, Great Naseby Water Race 100 and the Krazie Kapers 100. Chis had, at our conversation won Northburn, Hanmer, and Naseby, and was just tapering to tackle Krazie K’s. Intensely competitive, Chris was chasing the win. We talk to Chris about his days as a high level triathlete (Kona qualifier, anyone?) and the move to ultramarathons after family became a priority. We talk in depth about Chris’ training, his early starts, what drives him, how to come back from the brink of despair during long races, how much Cargill he indeed crushed. We feature our usual news, chat, some talking over each other, a brilliant Greatest Run Ever and a special Stuff You Should Know from Eugene about his documentary Life and Limb, which he recently filmed in Afghanistan. Enjoy.
