We put our hands down our pants (for warmth) before this amazing episode! The main topic revolved around the Black Canyon 100k, where Jenn Lichter and Hans Troyer set course records, and the ultrarunning took another major leap forward. We discuss wh... more
Real talk! This episode is great, but maybe don’t listen out loud IN PUBLIC. The main training topic was a deep dive on long runs. We break down some of the competing long run theories, and how they fit into performance. The discussion ends with 5 pr... more
We cornered the market on mozzarella sticks before this awesome episode! The main topic involved our recommendations for electrolyte use in races and hard training. Sweat replacement is one of the strangest, least understood parts of athletic physiol... more

David and Megan are the best, and have such great chemistry on the mic. Love listening to them every week for science pearls and lots of laughter as they honestly and vulnerably talk about life and running.
Always relevant and scientific.
I’ve been following SWAP for years, I am a happy Patreon subscriber also, it’s worth every penny. David Roche is my defacto $5/month coach, I get all the training plans from him, from the 100 milers down to 1/2 Marathon. No guesswork. Full of tips to make me faster and more durable, at 57. The advice is based on science with the comfort of the real superstar Dr Megan Roche elaborating on the takeaways. I’ve never DNF’d a race thanks to SWAP, and I am hopeful to run Western States sometime in my ... more
