173. Grindstone 100k Lessons, Jim Walmsley's Training, and Marathon World Record!
Manage episode 377944488 series 2738763
The vibes were STRONG in this episode, even though the ankles were WEAK. It started off with a fun recap of the Grindstone 100k. What happens when an entire season is built around a goal, but it all ends in some delicious failure? Setbacks can be good for the soul, in moderation. In that way, they're kinda like bacon. Even more joyous than that was a full breakdown of Jim Walmsley's UTMB training, distilling some lessons from last week's interview. He gave us so many good nuggets, from weekly mileage to workout structure to season distribution, and we savor those tasty, tasty nuggets. Now we just need to convince Jim to let us co-write "The Walmsley Method."
All-in-all, this might have been the most fun we have ever had recording an episode! Other topics: the best sports story of the year, why we want to be like cyclist Sepp Kuss, a new study on training intensity in top cyclists, the $500 shoes from Adidas that were just used to set the road marathon world record, why that record makes us feel a bit queasy (with some unexpected tangents about economic theory), thoughts on caffeine intake via a new study on sleep impacts, and hot takes.
