Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

77 | Queenstown Marathon Race Preview, Training Weeks and Email questions from our Listeners
Q: Do you know if you need a flexible or rigid midsole for your feet?
You can determine what you need based on how your foot moves; it's very individual, and it's not a one-size-fits-all situation.
77 | Queenstown Marathon Race Preview, Training Weeks and Email questions from our Listeners
Q: If you change to a new shoe and start having niggles, how soon would you expect the niggles to appear?
It's very individualized; it could be within a week, or three weeks, or even longer. If the issues persist for more than three weeks, it might indicate a bigger problem.
74 | On Cloud Surfer Max, NZ Park Run Records, Coaching questions and what the fuck is Zone 2
Q: What is Zone 2 training?
Zone 2 is a training intensity where one could maintain effort for longer periods, typically around 70-80% of max heart rate, and is essential for aerobic development.
74 | On Cloud Surfer Max, NZ Park Run Records, Coaching questions and what the fuck is Zone 2
Q: What makes a good coach?
A good coach connects with people, understands their goals, and helps them optimize training around their everyday lives.
73 | Saucony Xodus Ultra 4, Road Relay Recap, Training weeks and listener questions
Q: What shoe wrecks for a three-hour runner?
Oska suggests looking at stable carbon options like the On Cloud Boom Max or the New Balance Super Comp Trainer depending on comfort and the hilly course.
