#20 - Runner's High

Catch up on all the inside news from the World Champs. Ralph and Tim reflect on their own performances and also weigh in on the big talking points; challenging courses, running through offices, pushing and disqualifications. Magnus has almost completed his Danish hill week, find out how his quads are doing so far and who else is battling at the top of the Strava club leaderboard. We conclude the episode with the dilemma where orienteering fashion again battles against potential performance benefits

It’s finally time for World Champs! Have Ralph and Tim avoided further setbacks? Magnus has a challenge that could take all the media focus away from WOC. The summer internationals have started already with some exciting performances at the Junior World Champs, who might take Tim’s spot in the New Zealand team? Another dilemma is presented to the boys, are they ready to break the rules?

Jukola 2024 is consigned to the history books, but here on the podcast, you can catch a summary and an inside story of the incredible first leg pack. Hear how the boys got on with their predictions, will they still be friends after all the controversy? Ralph and Tim are looking forward to the World Championships, Ralph shares a bit about how his rehab process is going and Tim tells us about his fitness concerns. Magnus stayed in Finland after Jukola and brings us tales of the infamous mosquito chair and shares his new knowledge of Finnish traditional sauna rules. A little bonus for those of you who make it to the end of the episode, a short reading by Gustav Runefors.

Time for Jukola and Venla! We hear from 3 big guests from 3 of the very best clubs, offering their exciting insights. In this short preview, you'll also discover more about local tea, Finnish numbers, alternative travel options, and much more. Tune in as we gear up for the world's biggest orienteering relay.

Furthermore, Ralph has left home and gives an injury update, Tim's knee saga continues and Magnus struggles with the Danish hills and JWOC selection races. And stay tuned for this week's PG-rated dilemma!

Magnus calls Ralph, Tim, and Tomas Krivda and gets their impressions of the first World Cup round in Switzerland. In a shocking turn of events, Ralph has ended up in the wrong bedroom, leading to some exclusive guests! We mainly cover the World Cup races but also dive into the UK's Cheese Rolling event and discuss how many Big Macs are enough for Tim. Plus, there's a new dress code dilemma for the boys!

An action filled podcast is now waiting for you with life advice for training and other situations you might find yourself in (hint might be in the cover photo). The polls have closed and we have exciting results for maps, animals, and vests. Or is it gilets? We briefly mention the upcoming World Cup, we might have a surprise for you there! We have been looking through your social media bios. Do the boys rate your captions? This week’s dilemma debate is a good one but something you probably wanna avoid listening to while eating.

Ralph toed the line at the “new 10mila” as the only one of the boys. What happened to Magnus? How many men did Tim service? And could Tim provide Ralph with some TP and avoid the nattmagen even as a service man? We discuss some of the highlights from an eventful night such as could Bækkelaget beat Farum Tisvilde? And did Ralph even get home after alarmingly having the Swedish police after him. Finally we catch up on some of the animal stories from a few episodes back

Have you got the munchies? In this 420 episode the boys discuss what kind of food they want named after them, how the Strava Club is going, and how sick Matthias Kyburz's marathon time really is. We also go through the inbox looking at tales of harassment while running orienteering, are Brits the main risk factor? Ralph has a quiz, can Magnus finally claim a victory?
