Artwork for Steady State

Latest Episodes

The boys are back! And by boys we mean Adam and Sarah. We got a short episode in talking about some misplaced advice on spectating Western States as well as cautionary tales regarding weight loss concurrent with endurance training.

He's back! Addy the baddy. It had been too long. We had a good time catching up, discussing how trail running teams may evolve, working with athletes expectations of training, and even a Guy Fieri conspiracy theory

We got on the air this week to chat about all the various training camps, whether or not Nickelback is a good band (they are), the dangers of being labeled a "wizard" or "guru" and much more!

Sar-bear and Ferdy are at it again! We talked about everything and more, but most importantly, we had a good time.

  • Great potential, but way too much digression meandering chit-chat for me. There's a difference between being personable but professional, and just being two friends hanging out with a hot mic

  • Practical info on training!

    That’s something I haven’t heard out there yet: professional coaches giving real-life advice on specific cases without all „that depends” and other nuances - while it sure can’t be just applied 1:1 to my training - shows a certain perspective and how to approach specific problems. Awesome listen, gets better with each episode!
