  • Disappointed by the Switch from English to Swedish

    I understand that it’s hard to speak English when your native language is Swedish, but it’s really hard to understand—even though I speak Danish. It’s truly a shame, as I used to listen to your podcast as a reward after my Wednesday intervals at 5 AM.

    That being said, best of luck. You’re great personalities!

  • One of the best

    New running podcast, but one of the best. Binged all episodes over Christmas. Lots of useful info, insights into running community but also great chat.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

105. The Valencia Half Marathon Recap
Q: What are the main things now you're looking to do in the next six weeks coming up?
The guests emphasize avoiding excessive training, including quality long runs and adequate recovery, and keeping marathon-pace work controlled rather than forcing very fast sessions.
105. The Valencia Half Marathon Recap
Q: How was it out there?
Jan Lukas Becker was surprised and pleased to run 61:30, saying the race felt good and that he had not expected such a fast result given his recent training.
104. The Injury Update (with Fartlek Fred)
Q: Would you like to share with the listeners, what's been going on with your body?
Victor describes severe pain after a demanding double-threshold day. An MRI ruled out a sacral stress reaction, but running remained painful, so he planned to stop running until the symptoms improved and suggested the cause might be muscular.
104. The Injury Update (with Fartlek Fred)
Q: How would you structure the 16 weeks if you were coaching me?
Victor recommends first building Fredrik's weekly running volume toward 60 to 80 kilometers, mainly with easy running. He suggests starting intensity with shorter repetitions, such as 12 by 400 meters, and adding progressive running while increasing training gradually.
103. The Jimmy Whelan Marathon Debut
Q: What is the balance between chasing fast times and placing well in a debut race, in Melbourne?
The goal is to place well and set up for future fast times; the plan is to use Melbourne to test readiness and recovery, then chase fast times in subsequent builds and races, leveraging altitude blocks and better shoes.
