Why did Bree and Clint decide to attempt an untrained half‑marathon?
Show requested, so here it is. As long as you've got da da da
It's ZM's Brian Clint Podcast.
Bree and I decided yesterday on a whim that because Benny Blanco ran a marathon the day after deciding to do one with no training, that we could do the same.
If he can do it, we can.
If Benny Blanco can do it, we can do it.
But do we know if Benny Blanco has been a runner in his Past life?
No, I didn't even think to check that. Like
has he run before. You know? Because I feel like that
Do you reckon once your body has done it, it knows how to run a half marathon.
Well, I think if you've been a runner your whole life on it even if it's on and off, you do have that muscle memory.
Sounds like we need to talk to an expert. So I've found one. Please welcome to the show one of New Zealand's most prolific marathon runners. Brody Kane.
What experience does expert runner Brody Kane bring to the conversation?
Good afternoon, Yama to four seven.
She runs. Boy does she run. Um doesn't she? And she knows what it takes to do a half marathon, a full marathon. You've done an ultra marathon, BK? Three, Clint. You've done three ultra marathons. Yeah
You're you're training for the New York marathon at the moment, no? Correct Spree. First of November,
New York Marathon bucket list life event for me. Good. Good. This is the first time. This is the
person we need to talk to. So Brody Kane. Um Bree and I have Friday next week in our sights. We're gonna run a marathon around Auckland's Victoria Park.
How do Bree and Clint plan to tackle the Victoria Park half‑marathon route?
Oh half marathon. Half marathon. Half marathon. And we just want your input. How do you think we'll go?
Okay, question number one. Uh why have you decided to punish yourself with going around a pu like why aren't you
going from point A to point B? Because we don't want to be met with any unsuspected hills.
Yeah. And also if we wanna quit halfway through we can we're only like five hundred meters from the radio station.
And the pub. Well look if I look, I really like I consider both of you friends. So I thought about what my advice w was for you was to be. Yeah. And it really is You're idiots and this is going to hurt.
What specific advice does Brody give about preparation and mindset?
This is going to hurt. It y like, you know, it's not gonna be some sort of funny w zacky wacky little radio la you'll you'll you'll hate it. It's gonna be a hard day. You're gonna go through you're gonna go deep up Satan's back passage, out the other side through the pit of despair. You'll have moments where um you'll be there'll be dark times. Um yeah. But do you think we can do it? Oh I think Well, 'cause you're both quite well see here's the thing. Y y Bree yes in a way that you are s you're strong
willed and you will just That's what I said to them yesterday, Brody. I might I might not be fit at all. But she's stubborn. But I've got the dog in me, Brody
Yeah, you got the top two inches. And tr trust me, that's the key. The top two inches is is what finishes uh any mariju you know, any of those Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. But what about me?
Yeah, I'm getting to you.
Why does Brody recommend a Vaseline routine for the race?
Okay. Um, so m um yeah, look, I think y I said this to you on Sunday when we played that football match for MS Auckland. Your competitiveness you get in the way of yourself. So, um, if you can head into Friday, not overthinking and not trying to think that you're um Kit Chogey, the world's fastest marathon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you just stay humble, you might be okay. But
I don't know if you can. I mean, for God's sake, Brody, they asked what name we should put on the back of our soccer jerseys for the charity match and Clint decided he would put Lomu on his. Yeah.
Yeah. And if that if that doesn't tell you everything And they knocked over the chairwoman of MS Auckland, who has MS by the way. Um Steamroll, we're not
re litigating that, okay, we've moved on.
What she's trying to say is you've got that um competitive drive. Yeah.
That
gets in your way.
Gets
in your way though, 'cause you sort of over overestimate your capabilities. No, you had the dog.
What logistical ideas (like a Vaso tent) are discussed for race day support?
I'm the dog. It's different. I'm the dog.
All I'm gonna say to you both is is this and if you listen to nothing else that I've said to you this afternoon, I need you to make sure that you get a tub of Vaseline and you rub that Vaseline on your feet, in between your toes, around your nipples.
