Podcast appearances and mentions of jordan donnelly

I det etthundranittionionde avsnittet av ”Maratonlabbet - en podcast om löpning” fokuserar vi på ett ämne som ligger podden väldigt varmt om hjärtat, nämligen maraton. I Valencia den 1 december ska både Johan och Erik springa fortare än de någonsin har gjort på maratondistansen. Drömmålen är sub2.30 för Erik, och sub2.40 för Johan. Tider som känns närmast utopiska just nu så därför ringde vi upp den norska löpexperten och poddaren Kristian Ulriksen för att få råd. Kristian har under många år medverkat i den norska podcasten ”I det lange løp” där han tillsammans med Jann Post gått igenom allt man behöver veta om löpning. Han är också god vän med den norska maratonspecialisten Sondre Nordstad Moen, och hans tidigare tränare Renato Canova, och har insyn i många elitlöpares träningsvardag. Han tränar dessutom många motionärer och är själv en elitmotionär som under fem års tid har jagat sub2.20 på maraton. En tid han hoppas klara i Valencia den 1 december efter att ha skaffat en brittisk tränare, Jordan Donnelly, som ändrat om hela hans träningsupplägg. I avsnittet kommer även Johan och Erik berätta hur de ska lägga upp träningen inför Valencia Marathon och så kommer de med varsin race report från Lidingö där Erik krossade sub2 medan drömgränsen lever kvar ytterligare ett år för Johan. Följ Maratonlabbet under den sjunde säsongen för att lära er mer om löpning och för att se om Johan Forsstedt och Erik Olofsson klarar sina smala mål på 10 kilometer, halvmaraton, Lidingöloppet, maraton och ultralöpning.

Som seg hør og bør under VM i friidrett har Henrik og Tor med seg hinderløper Jacob Boutera som gjest. Han har flere internasjonale mesterskap på merittlisten, hinderpers på 8,21 og løper med On på beina i likhet med triatletene Gustav Iden og Kristian Blummenfelt. En skade i hamstringen gjør at han ikke har stilt på startstreken i Budapest, men kan han spå utfallet av kveldens finale i 3000m hinderløp? Jacob trives med å ha 10 sko i sin rotasjon for ulik løpsfølelse og variasjon i treningshverdagen. Men som alltid skal det utpekes en favoritt og On Cloudmonster stikker av med seieren. Den er godt dempet, lett i vekt og ikke kjedelig. Den bekrefter godfølelsen, rapporterer han. I tillegg til storfint besøk i studio skal herrene teste engelsken og får On`s Athlete Innovation Lead, Jordan Donnelly på tråden fra Sveits. Han gir innsikt i hvordan de jobber med atletene, utvikler modeller og kommer med historien bak Gustav Idens sko på seiersløpet i Ironman Hawaii. Henrik er ikke i tvil om hvor han vil feire bursdagen sin neste år – på utviklingslab`en til On!

We like to model what the pros are doing because they should theoretically be the most advanced in the game about what is working with training - they have the most investment behind them, the best teams, the best coaches and exercise scientists… So it makes sense to copy them. But not all the time. Today we want to get clarity on what sort of things are the pros doing that you shouldn't be doing.

It's safe to assume most athletes aren't testing enough… why? Because the amount of testing you could be doing that would “aid” your performance is mind-blowing to most athletes. And no, we're not just talking about VO2 max/lab testing here, we're talking about the value in field testing. We've seen FTP testing getting a bit of a bad rap recently, so in this episode we dissect why that should NEVER be the case and how testing properly will transform your potential as an athlete. We also discuss preparing for your first half marathon or marathon, we explain again the specific reasons we don't like ERG mode, where you can find time gains as an athlete, removing race day nerves, being a data person or a “racer”.. Or both? And finding the right balance as an athlete. The Get Fast Podcast is brought to you by TriVelo Coaching, where we help triathletes and cyclists like you, Train Smarter to Race Faster.

Last week we both had a crack at a Masters/Age Group National Title, Gerard in the cycling individual time trial and Jordan in the triathlon sprint champs, and we both came up short with two bronze medals. After everything we've spoken about pre race mentality, what to do in race week, how to execute your best performance, it's just as important to do a post race analysis after every race. Because every race is an opportunity to learn and potentially make some valuable time gains for your next race. So today we're going to do a post race analysis on ourselves, which we'll both admit is a lot tougher when it's a result you're disappointed in.  BUT on a much more positive note: we'll talk about some of the trivelo athletes that had MAJOR success, as we had multiple national titles won and best place performances over the last week. Keys to the episode: The first place to start in your post race analysis What are the key questions you need to ask yourself? How long after the race should you do a post race analysis? When is it okay to compare yourself to athletes around you? The key areas you can gain time in a time trial Real data of how much time you can lose by going too hard too early The number 1 thing to improve on to get more time gains How hard should you push in the important part of the course How to compare your race to a different course The Get Fast Podcast is brought to you by TriVelo Coaching, where we help triathletes and cyclists like you, Train Smarter to Race Faster.

This week we had the Australian Masters National Road Series take place, national titles on the line for the individual time trial, teams time trial, crit race and road race. For a lot of our athletes, this is their biggest race of the year, this is their A race, the one they've been training for. And for some select athletes, the goal of winning gold and wearing the coveted Australian Champions jersey is possible and is what they're aiming for. Leading into your A race like this, naturally there's a bit of pressure around the race, often accompanied with nerves and anxiety. So how do you deal with this? What should you be thinking about before your race? Focusing on the right things and getting yourself in a peak frame of mind can be the difference between a performance you're proud of, and feeling disappointed in yourself on race day. So today we get to hear from Gerard what are the MOST important things he wants to talk to an athlete about in race week. Keys to the episode: No matter what the hurdle or obstacle, you can find a way to succeed Understanding that you may respond differently to the next athlete after being sick or injured How to make sure your race plan is accurate Once you've got a race plan, what do you do next? How much detail do you need to know about the course? How much is too much? The two things you need to measure against your plan throughout race What is pressure?  Why nerves are important to have The best tactics to deal with nerves What movie are you playing in your head?
