TeamCPNZ Connect – Ep 37 – VICKY – CPNZ Media Live

We’ve got another epic adventure to share in this episode of the TEAMCPNZ Quick Connect Podcast!

This time, we’re catching up with the awesome Vicky Robertson, who kicked off May with a bang by taking on the Kahurangi 500—a bikepacking route mapped out by the Kennett Brothers, linking a bunch of rugged trails across the top of the South Island.

If Vicky’s name sounds familiar, that’s because we’ve had her on the podcast before (check out Episode 18 where she reflects on our Backroad 400+ trip through Northland).

But this latest mission? A whole new level. Vicky tackled the backcountry terrain solo, and she’s here to share the highs, the challenges, and what it means to push your limits and find joy in the journey.

Tune in to hear all about her experience and be inspired to plan your own adventure!Let’s stay informed, stay connected, and keep learning from each other—the TEAMCPNZ way.

TeamCPNZ Connect – Ep 32 – KAREN – CPNZ Media Live

FOR EPISODE 32 we talk to Karen Hill, a top-end Cross Country Rider who over the weekend completed her debut ultra run in Tasmania. 

We had a solid 8 weeks available following her last XCO race in Hobart to turn those riding legs into running legs.  As someone that knows how to train, listen to her body and push herself she did awesome job of preparing. 

Any ultra endurance event is effectively a nutritionathon which is another thing that Karen has in her favour.  She is also a Nutritionalist and worked alongside the event to help others dial in their nutrition strategy for the event. 

We talk to Karen about her  preparation and how she felt as she crossed that finish line. 

And for those cyclists out there before you click next we will also have a yarn about her Christmas holiday trip where her and her partner completed a full lap of Tasmania by bike 1200km in 7 days
