April Recap

Written By Kim Manunui

In April, I got back into some solid training as I prepared for the racing season in America with the Fearless Femme Team.


My sport scientist had me trialling a method called Norwegian Threshold Training, which involves two sessions a day, twice a week with longer threshold efforts between 6-12 minutes in the morning, followed by shorter efforts between 3-5 minutes in the afternoon. It’s definitely been a challenge, but I can already feel the benefits coming through!

I also completed the Shore to Shore Fun Run with my nephew Lucas. he seriously impressed me, running 5.6 km at a 5:43/km pace! Later in the month, I raced the ANZAC Criterium in B Grade (a mixed field of men and women). It was a short 15 minute race around the centre of Cambridge, and great practice for the type of racing I’ll be doing in the U.S. I finished 7th overall and was the first woman across the line!

At the end of the month, I also finished my internship with Basketball New Zealand. I was sad to finish, as it was such a positive experience and I really valued the connections I made with the team there.

Now, it’s time to shift my focus on completing my final Master’s paper before starting my own research next year!

I’m super excited to be part of the Fearless Femme Racing Team this year! I’m staying with a host family in a town called Lambertville, and I’m absolutely loving it so far. We recently got all our team kit and bikes, it honestly felt like Christmas! I can’t wait to get stuck into racing and see what the season brings.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
