S3|E5 - Why Runners Must Love Hills with Mike Obery, Founder and Captain of MustLoveHills Run Crew.
Manage episode 402198429 series 3474697
In this conversation we chat to local running legend, coach and founder of MustLoveHills RunCrew, Michael Obery.
Mikey has a larger-than-life infectious energy about him and a deep rooted sense of community which has been instrumental in helping him establish one of the coolest Cape Town-based run clubs to emerge from the 'social' running scene, which has swept the country by storm.
Through his reputation as a talented runner, coach, and his work with top brands such as ASICS, where he is a Frontrunner, he has contributed to the growth of the sport and created a space of belonging for all who share in the passion for lacing up and hitting the streets - especially those who love sending it up a hill or around an oval track (more about Community Track Club in episodes to come)...
Today we chat to him about:
- How his running journey started and where it has lead.
- His coaching philosophy and passion for helping others achieve their potential.
- The social running crew scene.
- The details of hill training and why all runners MustLoveHills.
A lekker episode, with one of SA's lekkerste runners brought to you straight from the Mother City.
Enjoy!
