Diamond League came to Stockholm and so did Jordan Donnelly which gave us an opportunity to get him into the recording booth. With over 15 years of experience working with some of the top brands in the sport, his knowledge runs deep. We had a fantastic conversation covering everything from the evolution of super shoes and the creation of Usain Bolt’s spikes, to what it really means to be race-ready—and the emotional impact of a DNF. We also explored the value of a “tight but loose” mindset and the importance of training without carbon fiber to build true strength and resilience. Hosted on Acast.

We talk about his training strategies, including why he stacks long sessions back-to-back, and how he maintains balance while managing such a high training volume.Jakob also shares his thoughts on Strava, and gives us insight into how he became part of the Satisfy Pro team.

Hey dear listeners! Just a quick note—this episode of Runners FM is in Swedish. Up until now, all our episodes have been in English, so we know this might come as a surprise. We truly appreciate all of you tuning in, and while some episodes will now be in Swedish, we’ll continue to release content in English as well. Since Swedish is our native language, we’re excited to share a bit more of ourselves this way. Thanks for being with us on this journey!In this episode, we’re joined by our good friend and fellow runner, Daniel Pärmenäs. Over the past few years, Daniel has grown into a focused and formidable marathon runner—but like many athletes, his journey hasn’t been without its challenges.We dive into his impressive 2:40 finish at the Berlin Marathon, a performance that—looking back—sparked an intense, and at times obsessive, relationship with training. This eventually led to a long period of forced rest due to overtraining, as Daniel worked to understand what was really happening with his body.He shares his story with honesty and clarity, taking us through the highs and lows of recovery. We also hear Daniel’s vivid account of the Boston Marathon and his mindset as he prepares for the upcoming Stockholm Marathon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
