  • Top Science Backed Running Podcast

    Dr. Evans is the source that I trust for research-backed running information. The episode with Riley Witt, founder of The Bicarb Shop was incredible. These two men are pushing the entire running world into the future.

  • Great podcast for runners serious about improving

    Bill interviews quality guests and the recent episode with Riley Witt of Bicarb Shop was the best! I’m a Bicarb 3.0 customer and think it’s better than Big Bicarb.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Boulder XC | Isaiah Givens and Jake Liebert
Q: So how much do you guys have to change your training because you're at altitude? And how long does it take you guys on average to get acclimated when you come down from altitude?
Givens says the training approach under Mark Wetmore was to run the planned paces at altitude, and that after time away he generally feels adjusted within three or four days. Liebert says easy runs require particular care and that reacclimation now takes him a couple of days.
Boulder XC | Isaiah Givens and Jake Liebert
Q: How do you feel that that matches up with your guys' expectations?
Givens says the sixth-place ranking is reasonable, but the team hopes to contend for a podium finish and a trophy. Liebert believes they can exceed expectations and potentially finish in the top four or three.
Marco Langon and Rob Defilippis of Runner's High NJ
Q: What is gonna be the change in priority, especially as you go to altitude with Cam in November, moving forward from like a programming perspective?
Langon says they are allowing lactate levels to rise more during threshold work and plan to include above-threshold or VO2-focused sessions more consistently. Defilippis says the altitude block will help Langon adapt and build a stronger aerobic base.
Marco Langon and Rob Defilippis of Runner's High NJ
Q: Tell me a little bit about the dynamics of your athlete coach relationship.
Langon explains that Defilippis first encouraged him after a difficult stress fracture and became a father figure; Defilippis says their close bond allows for both support and candid accountability.
Riley Witt - Maximizing Performance with Biology
Q: What should athletes expect physiologically when using bicarbonate during training vs. racing?
Bicarbonate tends to elevate blood lactate at the same intensity due to buffering, but can help maintain effort and recovery; training with bicarbonate may enhance adaptation by allowing higher intensity with similar recovery costs.
