Ultra runner Daniel Jones turning pain into success

From First Up, 5:33 am on 6 December 2022

Having won the Christchurch and Queenstown marathons, and then the Auckland Marathon for a second year running, over the weekend Daniel Jones ran 60 kilometres across incredibly rugged terrain in four hours and forty-three minutes to win his fifth Kepler Challenge. Nathan Rarere caught up with Daniel when you'd have thought he'd be keen for a lie-in and a foot rub. But no, he wanted us to do our pre-recorded interview as early in the morning as possible so he could get to Milford Sound and go diving.
