Episode 419: Matt B Davis

We pick out a 4 current situations our athletes are dealing with and discuss them in depth: Should I have pushed harder? When have I raced too much? Do I pull the plug on my training or push through this injury? Am I actually healthy enough the start training again?

We all have slightly different ideas of what really constitutes Speed Work for distance runners. Let’s explore that!

3:57 miler, proud Canadian, and World Record Holder in the Beer Mile, Corey joins us to explain how a kid from Windsor came to be the fastest individual ever to run one full mile while consuming four beers and how doing so changed his place in the run world.

Warning: you will either agree with us today or you will be really upset! Stretching and mobility work are such touchy topics. Runners will happily debate high vs low mileage, threshold vs vO2max work, or Lydiard vs Daniels, but bring up mobility work and watch those smiles get turned upside down real quick! So, today is OUR take on what runners do and don’t need to worry about when it comes to flexibility, mobility, and range of motion. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

We had a great queue of listener questions this month, from footwear to focusing on time vs mileage. Enjoy!

Hybrid racing is the ultimate meeting ground for endurance and power athletes, but can they both train the same way? We break it down today!

Everything, everywhere, all at once! That’s how many runners like to race. So let’s build out that training style today! From 1 mile through 50 miles, we’ve got you covered.

BK & KD sit down for a chat about how their training is progressing, Kirk’s upcoming race, and what they’re planning for goal races this year. 

On road, off road, mountain, 50k, 50 mile? We’ve got you covered!
