  • 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.

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.
266. From Rural Ireland to 2:36 Marathon Elite: The Grace Lynch Story
Q: How do you balance training volume and intensity to stay healthy over long marathon blocks?
Volume has to be individualized, with a slow, steady progression and careful attention to recovery and deload weeks to prevent injuries and maintain consistency.
263. Plyometrics, Longevity & Athleticism with Angus Bradley
Q: Do runners need significant strength training, and how should zone two cardio fit in?
He suggests that while strength training is highly beneficial for health and resilience, it's not strictly required for all runners, but a pragmatic dose (e.g., two hard sets, one warm-up set, two hard sets per week) provides substantial benefits. Zone two can be used as a practical introductory cardio, but the primary aim is to fit training into the client's life and avoid overemphasis on slow, long zones if they want faster running.
263. Plyometrics, Longevity & Athleticism with Angus Bradley
Q: What actually makes someone athletic and how do you improve that ability?
Bradley explains that athleticism is a blend of strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility, and that improvements come from training across multiple qualities, not by isolating one in a vacuum. He stresses individualized programming and progressive exposure to plyometrics and speed work, while acknowledging the importance of sequencing and context.
