  • Thanks!

    I just discovered your podcast and am really enjoying it! Just the right mix of chit-chat and running talk. Could you consider an episode on training tips for older runners please (50+ years)?

  • Must listen!

    An all-round great podcast for runners. “Solo Series Ep 12 - Strength Training 101” should be mandatory listening… either as an intro or a refresher.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

287. Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy - Max Hopes PhD Candidate
Q: I'd love to hear a little bit more about managing the specifics around what you mentioned at the start with the hills and speed, when do those get introduced or how does a runner know when that should be happening? And then also around the sitting, like are people, should they just try to not sit as much as possible?
Hopes recommends finding a tolerable running level, initially limiting hills and speed when they provoke symptoms, and adjusting based on pain response. For sitting, he suggests softer or higher seats, changing position, breaking up sitting, and using targeted exercises to build tolerance.
287. Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy - Max Hopes PhD Candidate
Q: Is there much advice you can give around what that rehab should roughly look like if we were just to create a general patient who's got this proximal hammy tendon?
Hopes recommends maintaining a tolerable amount of running while progressively loading the tendon with exercises. He gives examples including hamstring curls and bridges, then gradually introduces more stretched positions and heavier or faster loading as symptoms allow.
284. How to train for a 100km ultramarathon | Ash Daniels
Q: What is a good reason to run 100Ks and where should someone start?
A good reason must be intrinsic to the individual, not driven by external validation; start by building a solid base and realistically assess whether you have the patience and time to commit to months of training, slowly increasing volume and terrain complexity rather than diving in prematurely.
277. Megan Chapple - Triathlon World Champ | 2.49 Marathoner | Balancing life as an elite athlete
Q: How does she manage nutrition and injury prevention with a heavy training load?
She emphasizes consistent fueling around workouts, carrying quick snacks, and collaborating with医疗 professionals; she has learned to listen to her body, avoid overtraining, and lean on experts to optimize hormonal health and recovery.
266. From Rural Ireland to 2:36 Marathon Elite: The Grace Lynch Story
Q: What strategies help you stay mentally strong in the final miles of a marathon?
Pre-planned mental strategies like mantras, counting steps, and visualization, along with a paced, conservative start to the race, help sustain effort through the hardest final kilometers.
