02: Gjermund Næss

Kicking off (and maybe finishing off) the podcast for 2026 with a race recap for Valencia half marathon, with Antonio Roca Diaz.   Toni and I both PB'd the race and so we immediately went for tapas and beer. I sprung on him the idea of recording, with no warning, and thankfully he was up for it!   We chat the race, training, and some opinions on the Copenhagen and global running scenes.   Thanks for listening!  

In true R,C,R tradition, Episode 5 is here after an unnecessarily long hiatus!   For this episode, Bastien Flaud - NBRO runner and triathlete- met up to cheer on our friends participating in Ironman Copenhagen, before getting in a jog, some food, and a chat on the mic.   Bastien jumps into his intro to sport, the lead up to his own first foray into the world of Ironman 70.3, the race itself, and what exciting things are to come next. He did not, however, drop his playlist, as promised- please DM him until he does.   Thanks for listening!

Episode 4 is here!   Josh Winsor Viney and I caught up after a Midweek Madness Session with NBRO, on the Wednesday before Copenhagen Marathon- Josh's first official marathon event!  (Yes, I know that was last month, sorry Josh!) Josh and I go way back, so it was so fun to have him on the mic as we caught up for the first time this year. We chat about Josh's running past, the Island Games (from Islander's point of view), the upcoming marathon debut, some interesting "advice" from a coach, and Josh's view on all black running shoes, and the infamous inaugural 5 Pubs 5k at 5:00 pace.   Thanks for listening!

After a long hiatus, episode 3 is (finally) here! I got dinner with Mario Zorica- runner, lover, sometimes arrogant, French legend of NBRO running club in Copenhagen- for a long chat about his background into running, the Danish 10km Championship event, what it means to be a sub-elite athlete, as well as 4 hottakes. Thanks for listening!

Episode 2 is here! I caught up with Gjermund Næss, one of the co-founders of the KL Running club based in Oslo, on Saturday to chat everything KL, the life of a runner in Oslo, some Barcelona Half Marathon chat, indoor track and kebabs, and some debatable thoughts on stretching. Thanks for listening!

For the first episode of the pod I'm joined by Inés Aguilera, an avid runner, blossoming triathlete and the woman who was voted Smile of the Year at the NBRO awards in January.   We chat about Inés' pathway into sport, her upcoming races in 2025, goals, training tips, and some contentious points regarding a particular Danish food staple.   Thanks for checking it out!
