Mission Possible
Good Health Choices|April 2019

With Several Marathons, a Podcast and a Radio Gig Under Her Belt, Brodie Kane Is No Stranger to Success. She Chats to Erin Fisher About Body Image, Empowering Women and the Marathon That’s on Her Bucket List.

Mission Possible
For most people, aiming to run multiple marathons and long distance multi-sport events in a single year sounds like the stuff of nightmares, but this is where Brodie Kane is in her element. With a background of army training, school sports and surf lifesaving, the bubbly radio presenter has some big fitness goals to crush this year, which she kicked off with the Coast to Coast race.

“Note to self, I don’t think it’s that wise to train for something so hard over summer,” Brodie laughs, recounting her weeks of running up hills and through rivers for hours on end in preparation for the event that saw her taking on 243km of mountain running, cycling and kayaking across the width of the South Island.

“It’s bloody hard, but I get a buzz from doing things like that,” she says.

For the rest of 2019, she will continue to lace up and hit the pavement and the gym to train for several half and full marathons. The hard part, she says, will be getting her nutrition right.

“The exercising, I love. I really enjoy it so that part of it comes very easy to me, but my next focus is getting my food back on the good track it was when I lost a bit of weight in 2017,” she says. “I will be brutally honest, I want to lose some weight,” she adds.

“Am I going to do a crash course like, three-day detox diet, no carbs, no sugar? Hell, no. Am I going to try and just slowly do it long term? Yes. I’ve got small boobs and broad shoulders, so I’m never going to have a small frame and I’m never going to look like Margot Robbie or Kate Middleton, but we still push that as some sort of ideal. We need to remind ourselves that we don’t all have to look like that and that the priority should be looking after ourselves so that we feel good about ourselves.”
