Podcasts about dougal allan

Dougal Allan is a kid from a place called Foxton who has now become an integral part of Team New Zealand for the Americas Cup.He etched his name in Coast to Coast record books with an incredible nine podium finishes in 10 attempts in the iconic south island event.Simply put- the man is a savage. This is a small part of the Dougal Allan story…and we recorded it on his 39th birthday immediately after a full day of training with Team NZ! Thanks to my pals at Generate and Radix for sponsoring this episode.I recently found out that around half a million Kiwis are missing out on the KiwiSaver Government contribution, which is an extra $521 each year. That's where Generate comes in. They have a team of advisers who can come to you, go over your options, and help make sure you're getting the most out of your Kiwisaver investment. If you've never got KiwiSaver advice before, do your future self a favour. Head to their website to request a meeting with a Generate adviser.https://www.generatewealth.co.nz/domA copy of their product disclosure statement is available on their website. The issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited and of course past performance does not guarantee future returns. Radix have also backed this episode. Dougal and his mates have known about Radix for years. It's a massive brand in the elite and pro circles. Its only now that the rest of us are learning how their nutritional products can improve our quality of life.https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

Triathletes like to call themselves multi-sport athletes. In a manner of speaking, they are. They have generally mastered 3 disciplines and combine them all in one single race. Today's guest, Dougal Allen, is a true multi-sport athlete of the highest order. He's won the NZ Coast to Coast twice (run/kayak/MTB), had many victories and top 10 finishes in both IM & Challenge events, and completed many multi-day adventure races around the world. As well as running and cycling, these events have included, kayaking, rafting, inline skating, horse riding,  as well as rope work for climbing and abseiling.   Dougal is a very strong cyclist and in the last 2 years he has put these skills to good use with a complete change of direction. He is now a Cyclor on board the 8 man crew defending America's Cup for Emirates Team New Zealand. And if you're wondering what a Cyclor is, you can find out HERE.   In this episode we chat about: Building a team and racing without ego Training to race, or racing to train. Which are you?

Today's guest is an absolute weapon of an athlete. Dougal Allan is a Coast to Coast rockstar, winning the Longest Day twice, and making the podium nine times. Then, this year, he goes and pivots in quite the opposite direction - and is now staring down the barrel of an America's Cup with Team New Zealand. You see, Dougal has been picked to be a cyclor on the team when they defend the cup in Barcelona next year. It's unreal! Dougal is a CurraNZ athlete, and CurraNZ are proudly bringing you Dougal's story today. CurraNZ is a 100% natural sports and health superfood supplement made from New Zealand blackcurrants.

Kia ora e te whānau. Dougal Allan is inspired to compete. A professional endurance coach and athlete with victories in road-based events such as Challenge Wanaka as well as the off-road formats such as the famous Coast to Coast and Xterra triathlon, Dougal is the epitome of someone who lives a life in movement. We discuss Dougal's history in endurance sport, from his days as a student in Dunedin where $5 would get you a weeknight multisport event and all the sausage and bread you could handle, to becoming a two-time Coast to Coast champion. We also discuss his drive as he moves through his life, and the obvious, tragic pitfalls of wearing white lycra during an adventure race.

Kathmandu Coast to Coast: WRAP UP brought to you by CP MEDIA Bobby Dean – We didn't see this year's 5th seed on the start line in 2021, as he sat out the year due to injury. However we saw Bobby Dean back on the start line for 2022 and his 6th KMDC2C. Bobby was one of the youngest within the Top 10 field and made his presence known coming in 3rd behind Dougal Allan and race winner, Braden Currie. Vicky Jones – Vicky Jones the final person to get to the finish line in New Brighton on Saturday by beating all of the cut offs and in doing so completing an epic Longest Day Kathmandu Coast to Coast. She had a point to prove after breaking her boat in the paddle a couple of years ago which made getting to the finish line even sweeter this time. Ethan Halliwell – Completed this years Mountain Run in 3:34:42, just under 20 mins ahead of Ben O'Carroll. Ethan breaks down his race for us. Elina Usher – Lining up for her 17th Coast to Coast, Elina is no stranger to the Coast to Coast experience - with 4 Womens Longest Day titles and now 6th time placing 2nd. It was a tight race out front within the Elite women within only minutes separating race winner, Simone Maier, Elina and 3rd place Fiona Dowling. Braden Currie – Braden is this year's Coast to Coast Longest day champion and adding a 4th C2C title to his name. After COVID spoiled the plans for the now cancelled IRONMAN NZ, Braden was spurred on by Coast to Coast owner Mike Davies to hit the Kathmandu coast to coast starting lineup. So with a mere 36hrs of prep time, Braden dusted off his kayak and his multisport roots and headed for Greymouth! Braden began his professional racing career within C2C, racing 5 consecutive C2C's, with his last being in 2016, when he placed second to Sam Clarke, hanging up his kayak to enter the world of Ironman. Hitting the finishing chute with a 20 minute lead on defending Champion, Dougal Allan on Saturday, it was an epic race to watch.
