The High Five-0 Challenge for Mental Health
I first met Mal Law 4 or so years ago at a running event and was introduced by a mutual friend. To be in the company of one of New Zealand’s top adventure runners was awe inspiring to say the least, but I soon realised he was a very down to earth and humble person, actually a real nice bloke.

I was posted to Timor-Leste with the NZ Army and had completed three Ironman events where I completely self-coached with no idea what I was doing and finishing results that said as much. Two of these events I had trained and competed in whilst on holiday leave from Timor. I quickly realised that if I wanted to be committed to the sport that had changed my life around, I needed to take it seriously and sign up with a coach. There are plenty of coaches to look for online or cheekily obtain a training programme online, but I had already made up my mind that Ray Boardman was the coach I wanted from Qwik Kiwi.

How to prepare for a successful Enduro Cycling Event
I’d always wanted to ride two laps of Taupo so in Feb 2013 decided this was the year to tick it off my bucket list. I reconnected with trainer Ray who set my training schedule. All was going well until I got knocked off my bike (by another cyclist) in July, which resulted in a hospital stay due to concussion and my pelvis suffering two breaks.
