In this very special episode, we caught up with Simon Dent, an ultra runner and entrepreneur from Save Our Soles Foot Care company. He spoke to us about his running history, how he came to be involved in a 1000km challenge running from Brisbane to Sydney over 14 days for Dallaglio Rugby Works and Save Our Soles' flagship product, the Atacama Shoe Dryer.

Such great collaborations from Canterbury NZ, the British and Irish Lions Rugby Team, Save Our Soles, Dallaglio Rugby Works, Veloforte and Windsor and Eton Brewery, making all of this possible.
