There is nothing we enjoy in Aotearoa more than two little Latin words: per capita. We may not have the economy of scale, or GDP or any of those other things that big countries have, but by hokey me, per capita, we’ve got the goods. This is especially true in the elite trail running space, which is pretty cool if you think about it. You practically can’t swing a dead cat in some parts of NZ without hitting a Terrex Athlete. That’s not to say it’s easy to cultivate relationships with professional athletes, but in this case, with Dan Jones it very much is. The Champ returns to DCR for our favourite chat yet. We talk to Dan about that DNF at Western States, the success of the rest of his season, Dadlife, GPT vs GPT, and where you’d rather have more clout, on the trail or in the cloud. We ponder what’s led to the popularity of backyard, and if DJ will ever do one. There follows a discussion about chasing SICK prizes in China, the value of calling your shot, what’s ahead, and what being a professional athlete has to teach Dan. All this and so much more; we hope you enjoy it.
