  Speaker 2: Hi, thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast. Today
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: we're talking about running and how good it is for you.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: It may not feel so good, but apparently it's amazing
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: So it can reduce your cellular age by nine years,
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: so biological age. But you have to run, wait for
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: it five days a week.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I know how good it running is, right, And I
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: went through a phase I was trying to run and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I lost a lot of weight running right, But I
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: never hit that run as high.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: I have hit it before. I think a couple of
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: times when I trained for a half marathon, but I
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: feel like that was in my twenties and thirties, and
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: now that I'm forty one, I don't know. My problem
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: with running is every time I go back to it,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: remember was it last year or the year before? I
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: did that couch to ten k that's right, yes, And
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I got running about eight k's and that's when my
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: achilles started hurting. She tippy fe out. Now that I
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: think about it, maybe it was in perim menopause. Maybe
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I should go back and have another crack at it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: But the problem is you've got to run for about
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: three weeks straight before you go through that utterly painful
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I hate this, Why would I do this? Phase?
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Three weeks is a long time to hold.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Out, especially you're really hating something like Yes. I also
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: read a study about running. For eighty percent of people
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: when they run, they're thinking about the pain and how
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: awful it is. Now any activity where eighty percent of
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: people who are doing that activity don't enjoy it, they
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: can't be fun.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Why we do it, though, is because the euphoria. Afterwards.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I'll give you the history of my running, and then
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: you give me yours.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: So how did it go for you?
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: So I started out and probably age seven and eight,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: despite being quite sporty, I don't think I really grasped
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the idea in cross country that you have to push
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: your body to actually do well. Right, So I was
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: like a little bit disappointing for an athletic girl when
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I was seven and eight years old. It's like, why
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: wasn't I doing better and cross country? And then it
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: suddenly clicks when I turned about ten or eleven and
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I went to my intermediate and I won that out
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: of like six hundred kids, I got the cross Country Cup,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: and I was like, this is great. And it was
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: only because my dad said, do you want to do
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: well in the cross country? I was like yeah, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: he said, well, you've got to train for it, so
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I'll wake you up and we'll go for some runs.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: So he woke me up maybe three times a week
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: for about three or four weeks, and that's all it
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: took to get better at running. And then I realized
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: that actually running is the key to pretty much every sport.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, no matter what anyone says, running is still
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: going to give you that stamina and bass fitness that
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: you kind of need if you're playing cricket or basketball
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: or netball or rugby or whatever. So then I carried
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: on doing it. The problem is, you're really good when
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you're fit and you're in a good zone. The moment
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: you stop running for maybe four weeks, then you've got
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: to earn it back and that's where the punishment starts.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And so when I was maybe how old was, I
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: want to ran my first half at eighteen and maybe
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: at UNI. I did my second half marathon when I
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: was like twenty two, and then I haven't done one
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: since because you know, kid's got in the way. But
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: people say you're actually better mentally to run when you're
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: our age because you know how to push through pain.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: But I also feel like I don't care as much,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: so I feel like it might try Now I'll be like,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I don't need to feel Uncomora, why would I want
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to do the same?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: I a creature of comfort.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I was like, no, I just I don't if it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: going to make me feel uncomfortable, why would I bout
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: myself through that?
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: But I get it, so.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Run because they want to feel something, you know what
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I mean? Oh, at least this gives me some feels.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Were saw alive.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: So when I was at school and stuff, at that
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: cross country, I was a whipp it. I was quick
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: at the cross country, so.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I was doing all right. And then we had athletics
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: days and one hundred meters.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: In the two hundred meters, I was normally in the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: top three, so I was quite a quick kid. But
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: then again I started playing sport, and then you did
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: into radio, and then I was working shift with basically
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: doing the mid dawn so midnight the show started to finishing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: At six in the morning.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: To get out of routine.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Way to smash routine, that's right.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: And then years later you know a Nika More, a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: friend of Nikomo, right, so she took up running and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I remember bumping into her and she lost so much
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: weight because she was diabetic.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I just started. I hated. I started walking. Suddenly I
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: started running little bit.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I started trotting, and I was like, run lamp post,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: walk a lamp post, run a lamp post.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: So I started doing that too.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I remember doing a bit of running when she did
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: it too.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: She was quits sparring, she really so. So I got inspired
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: by that.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And then I started and I was running a bit further,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and I was running about three to three to four
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: five k's and things like this, right, And because we
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: were quite a flat little part of New Zealand where
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I live.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: So there's no hills, I was great.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: But then my knees started hurting, my back started hurting,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and everyone seed to get some decent shoes.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Thin. I looked at the price of running running.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Shoes three hundred plus parks.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't like it that much.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: So it's interesting how when you're young, the kids that
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: are just naturally fast, and then you assume that they'll
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: just carry on being fast, and then they don't.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: They don't.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: It all switches.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And then so for me, and then I wasn't enjoying it,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and I take the dog for a run and then
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: he'd like, he'd want to sniff things and then stop
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: for things and so on the lead. I didn't really
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: enjoy that either, so he would slow me down, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: so then I started running, and then.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: My mind would wander.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: And everyone says it's so calming because you think about
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff and you're very mindful thing to do,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: but my mind would wander, and I think about all
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: sorts of scenarios and sometimes work yourself up when you're
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: not supposed to be doing that. And then people said,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we'll run with earbuds or headphones on and listen to things,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and I found that really uncomfortable as well.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: So all up, anything I tried to do with running,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: it's uncomfortable.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Basically, there are people that find it therapeutic. In some
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: people that are never going to understand it. They're just
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: going to be in pain every time.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: But we should do it because apparently it reverses our
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: aging by what nine years.
• 5:11
