The Endurance Experience Podcast

A conversation with running legend Amby Burfoot. Amby Burfoot stands as a titan in the running world. Crowned the Boston Marathon champion in 1968, he became the first collegian to win this prestigious event and the first American to claim the title since John Kelley in 1957.As well as a stellar racing career of over 62 years, Amby channeled his passion for running into journalism. He joined Runner's World magazine in 1978, rising to the position of Editor-in-Chief and then serving as its Editor-at-Large.As well as being the author of several books on running, he regularly contributes articles to major publications, and curates his weekly Run Long, Run Healthy Newsletter.  We talk about his origin story and the early relationships he cultivated with other notable runners like John J. Kelly the younger, and Bill Rogers.We discuss the recent performances and new world records coming from the professional marathon field and Amby gives his perspectives on what's driving the performance, and he discusses his skepticism with the authenticity of some of the recent performance given the possibility and prevalence of performance enhancement substances.We talk about the heightened popularity of running and Amby gives his advice to runners looking to perform, enjoy the sport recreationally, enhance general health and increase longevity in the sport.About Amby Burfoot on Marathon Handbook: https://marathonhandbook.com/author/amby/ Amby Burfoot's Run Long, Run Healthy Newsletter: https://marathonhandbook.com/run-long-run-healthy-newsletter/Amby's Books on Running: https://www.ambyburfoot.com/p/buy-autographed-book.htmlFollow Us:Facebook: https://Facebook.com/EventHorizon.TvTwitter: https://twitter.com/EventHorizonTvInstagram: https://instagram.com/eventhorizon.tvYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/EventHorizonTv    

A conversation with coach Paul Holborn. He is a former boxer and winner of the 2025 World Marathon Challenge which is running 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days.

Tanya Halliday, PhD, RD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health, Kinesiology, and Recreation at the University of Utah. Her research focuses on appetite and food-intake regulation in response to lifestyle interventions such as dietary restriction and exercise. Currently, she is investigating how type of exercise (e.g., aerobic vs resistance) influences hormonal and behavior indices of appetite regulation, and mechanisms underlying response variation in body mass regulation with exercise. Another current area of research focus is on development of effective weight loss maintenance strategies. Dr. Halliday is also examining how sex as a biological variable, may influence the appetitive responses to energy deficits elicited through both increased exercise energy expenditure and caloric restriction.  She received her PhD in Clinical Physiology and Metabolism from Virginia Tech in 2016, where her research focused on exercise and dietary interventions for the prevention and treatment of obesity and related cardiometabolic conditions. She is also a Registered Dietitian, having completed her BS in Dietetics in 2010 at the University of Wyoming, and her Dietetic Internship through the University of Houston in 2011.  We have a conversation about the change in obesity rates over the last 50-60 years and what the current epidemiology states regarding the impact on populations and general health.  We discuss traditional energy balance teachings and whether a “calorie is a calorie” as it relates to weight loss.  Professor Halliday discusses GLP-1 medications, what problems they meant to solve and for which candidates and explains the side effects.  We talk about the efficacy of exercise for improved health and weight loss and whether wearable technology can assist health outcomes.  Tanya Halliday, PhD, RD Full Biogrophy and Research Agenda    Tanya Halliday, PhD, RD on Xhttps://x.com/NutritionNerd  Tanya Halliday, PhD, RD on Instagramhttps://instagram.com/NutritionNerd    Follow Us:Facebook: https://Facebook.com/EventHorizon.TvX: https://twitter.com/EventHorizonTvInstagram: https://instagram.com/eventhorizon.tvYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/EventHorizonTvSupport Us:https://Patreon.com/Endurance

He's been an advisor and consultant to the Breaking 2 and INEOS projects with Eluid Kipchoge and professional endurance athletes including Paula Radcliff. Professor Jones gives his understanding of the evidence of the performance effect of the so called “super shoes” and whether they explain the recent pro marathon runner excess performance and if so, by how much. Amateur marathon runners may find interesting our exchange about the Boston Marathon and how it is getting harder to get into, and what amateur marathoners must do to enhance performance in order to qualify and get into the Boston Marathon today. Professor Jones gives his perspective on the popularized notion that when it comes to marathon training “volume is king” and if not, what would be the alternative. We talk about distance runners that are getting older, and how Professor Jones recommends changing training, if at all, for those looking to remain competitive. Finally, we talk about science and evidence-based nutrition protocol throughout the training cycle and pre-race and race nutrition.

A conversation with Carol Irwin PhD, one of the key researchers for more than a decade around the issue of swimming competence among populations. We discuss her research teams latest qualitative report “Factors impacting Swim participation and Competence,” which aims to understand why we see lower swimming proficiency rates in underserved populations. Dr. Irwin has PhD in Curriculum and Instruction/Health Education and an MA Sport Pedagogy. She is an associate professor of physical education, teacher education in the College of Health Sciences at the University of Memphis. Dr. Irwin has been the Principal Investigator for several USA Swimming research studies, including “Constraints Impacting Minority Swimming Participation.” This nation-wide study was the first research to determine minority youth swimming ability, and to dig deeper to explore possible reasons why these underserved populations drown at such high rates. She has also taken action to solve the problem by becoming research chair of Splash mid-south, a community-based program that supports diversity in swimming as well as decreasing drowning rates. Dr. Irwin discusses her background and what drove her and the other members of the research team to prioritize study of this phenomenon.She discusses the research methodology, of the May 2020 qualitative report, how it built off previous work, and some of the limitations. We review the key findings of the report including the insights that allow understanding about why we lower swimming competency in underserved populations and in what direction are the numbers moving.Finally, Dr. Irwin provides insight into potential solutions.About Dr. Carol Irwin, PhDhttps://www.memphis.edu/healthsciences/contact/faculty/carolirwin.phphttps://umwa.memphis.edu/fcv/viewprofile.php?uuid=cirwiFactors Impacting Swimming Participation and Competence: https://scholarworks.bgsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1568&context=ijareYouth Swimming Ability and Associated Factors in the United States, 2010-17:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30688639/Constraints Impacting Minority Swimming Participation:https://www.usaswimming.org/docs/default-source/parent/learn-to-swim/2008_minority_swimming_research.pdfRed Cross Centennial Campaignhttps://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/swimming/centennial Follow Us:Facebook: https://Facebook.com/EventHorizon.TvTwitter: https://twitter.com/EventHorizonTvInstagram: https://instagram.com/eventhorizon.tvYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/EventHorizonTvSupport Us:https://Patreon.com/Endurancehttps://paypal.me/EnduranceExperience
