Episode 186 - When you have a great run - take the time to be grateful!

In this episode of the podcast New Zealander, Andrew McDowall entertains us with his running journey from his very own recording studio!  Andrew works for himself writing music for the screen, recording voices and doing sound design/mixing.  All this means the audio is pretty good :p

As you can image Andrews early years were full of music, that being said she loved and was good at various sports he has a go at.  But it wasn’t until his late 20’s when some friends asked if he’d like to do the Rotorua Marathon that he took on running as an adult.  That run was so crap for him that he decided to work out how he could do it better and some 15 years later he’s still running long distance events around the world - mainly ultra trail events.

He believes running has given him discipline and kept him sane amongst a number of things - in fact he’s found that the positives that come from running are huge in his life.  He loves it!

Some great advice from Andrew - “when you have a great run, don’t just take it for granted and get on with your day, instead sit with it for a few minutes and be grateful.”
