He hit the wall at his first Mumbai Marathon in 2013. Walked the last 10 kilometers. Finished in 4:02. And came home thinking — I can do better.Thirteen years later, Vijayraghavan Venugopal — known as ViRa — has run sub-3 thirteen times, completed all six World Marathon Majors, and clocked a personal best of 2:47:17 at Cape Town in 2026.In Episode 257 of Run with Fitpage, Vikas sits down with ViRa for a detailed conversation about what it actually takes to go from a 4:02 first-timer to one of India's most consistent sub-3 marathon runners over 13 years of learning, failing, and coming back stronger.In this episode we covered:➝ Growing up in Kerala in the golden era of Indian athletics — and why cricket became his sport when football and athletics felt out of reach➝ His first marathon at Mumbai 2013 — the wall at Haji Ali, the walk home, and the one decision that changed everything➝ How he went from 4:02 to 3:31 in five months using a single book — Run Less Run Faster➝ The only marathon he ever won — Spice Coast 2015 — and why a police escort to the finish line changed what he believed was possible➝ Paris 2016 — how he broke sub-3 for the first time without even planning to➝ New York 2019 — buying a Vaporfly three days before the race to compensate for a lack of confidence — and what happened next➝ The L4-L5 disc extrusion that almost ended his running — and the six-month rebuild that followed➝ What 20 days in Kenya in 2023 taught him about running that 10 years of training could not➝ How he restructured everything after 2022 — strength training, easy runs, mileage, sleep, nutrition — and why the results finally showed up in 2024 and 2025➝ Four marathons in 14 months at 50 — London, New York, Mumbai, Cape Town — and what comes nextAbout Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

A quick scan of a pre-race warmup area and you'll see a rainbow array of brightly coloured drink mixes filling the bottles, beakers, and hydration packs of endurance athletes. For many, these beverages are the bridge between the hydration needs of “normal” people and the performance necessities of athletes, with brands touting optimized mineral blends and special formulas aimed at keeping athletes running harder for longer. But how much are these drinks really doing for performance and how much is clever marketing aimed at capitalizing on the most basic of human needs: thirst? With the hottest months upon us and the racing season in full swing, we welcome back Registered Dietitian Sandra Frail to dive into the salty waters of endurance hydration. We're taking a look at what our bodies really need to perform at their best, debunking some of the common misconceptions around electrolytes, sweat, and dehydration, and understanding the real-world strategies athletes can use to optimize their hydration and avoid pouring away extra money on pricey pee.

Even though Eddie and Gary are on the rebuild, they're still somehow busier than a Greggs on match day. Gary's had a short stay in the comparison trap, but a chance encounter with a real‑life hero gave him the reality check he needed.Both hosts also find themselves openly thirsting over an A‑list movie star. Zero shame from both. We also sing the praises of the humble home gym. We're not talking squat racks. We mean the trusty dumbbell, a couple of resistance bands, and a yoga mat.And to round things off, the coaches chat about the simple brilliance of taking a map out on the trails. Old‑school. Reliable and it doesn't run out of battery halfway up a mountain.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/mtOmrcHyImJoContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

With the Comrades Marathon just days away, many runners unknowingly sabotage months of training during the final week. From panic training and poor sleep to trying new shoes, supplements, and race nutrition, the mistakes made before race day can have a bigger impact than the race itself. On CapeTalk and 702, fitness presenter, endurance athlete, burnout and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane to discuss the biggest Comrades Week pitfalls and how runners can arrive at the start line physically fresh and mentally prepared. Drawing on her experience as an endurance athlete and her years commentating from both the Comrades Marathon start and finish lines, Liezel shares practical advice on avoiding comparison, managing race anxiety, navigating the Expo wisely, and getting carbohydrate loading right. If you are running Comrades or supporting someone who is, this conversation could be the difference between surviving race day and thriving on it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we're sharing the mics with friend of the show Katie Kaars-Sijpesteijn. A Salomon and GB athlete, Katie has lined up, and podiumed, at some of the most competitive races out there.But the last 12 months have taken her down a very different path as she chased a sub‑3 road marathon. Not exactly the classic tune‑up for UTS by UTMB 100K, yet it clearly worked… because she stormed her way to 2nd place in a seriously stacked field.We chat about her recent races, the unconventional build‑up, and her journey back to racing as a mother of two young children.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/mtOmrcHyImJoContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

It's hard to believe we're already kicking off Season 3 of the No Vacation Required podcast!When we started this journey, we were mostly talking about careers and workplace fulfillment. Then we spent a season questioning the assumptions we all inherit about work, success, and the way life is supposed to be lived. Along the way, we realized something important: all of those conversations were really pointing toward a much bigger question.How do you build a life you don't need a break from?That's what this season is about.In this first episode, we're sharing the origin story behind No Vacation Required and introducing one of the foundational concepts that changed our lives: what we call the Dream of the Planet – the collection of assumptions, expectations, and scripts we inherit about what a successful life should look like.We talk about the marathon-training conversations that first led us to question why we were postponing fulfillment until some distant future. We explore how a single moment can break the schema, reveal that there are other ways to live, and open the door to creating a dream that actually belongs to you.We also share why Season 3 is different. Rather than focusing primarily on our consulting work or research, we're grounding these conversations in our own lived experience – the lessons, experiments, mistakes, and discoveries that helped us build a No Vacation Required life.If you've ever felt like you're following a script that doesn't quite fit, this episode is for you.Onward and Inward,Kent & CaananCHAPTERS:(00:00) Welcome to Season 3(01:00) Mind Share: Yesteryear, control, freedom, and the stories we inherit(04:00) The No Vacation Required origin story(07:20) Deferred fulfillment and the marathon conversations(10:00) Breaking the schema and seeing beyond the Dream of the Planet(11:30) Why Season 3 is different(15:00) Everyday fulfillment and knowing yourself(17:00) Relationships as catalysts for growth(19:15) The Dream of the Planet explained(22:00) The ongoing process of self-discovery(29:00) Mailbag: Why workplace personality tests often miss the markKEY TAKEAWAYS:The Dream of the Planet Isn't Reality: Many of the beliefs we hold about success, fulfillment, and how life should unfold are inherited rather than consciously chosen.Fulfillment Starts with Knowing Yourself: The more clearly you understand who you are, the easier it becomes to separate what truly matters to you from what you've simply been taught to want.Breaking the Schema Changes Everything: A single moment of awareness can create space for entirely new possibilities and a life designed around your own values rather than someone else's expectations.SUPPORT NO VACATION REQUIRED:If this episode resonated with you, please leave a review.

What if the secret to fewer power struggles, better behavior, and a stronger connection with your child isn't another parenting hack—but play?In this episode of The Running Wine Mom, Samantha sits down with licensed therapist, registered play therapist, professor, podcast host, and author Dr. Kim Van Dusen to discuss her new book, Parenting Through Play. Together, they unpack why play is one of the most overlooked parenting tools, how it helps children communicate emotions, and practical ways parents can use playful strategies to navigate tantrums, sibling conflicts, picky eating, transitions, and everyday family stress. Dr. Kim shares the science behind play therapy, the inspiration behind becoming The Parentologist, and why connection—not punishment—is often the missing piece when parents feel stuck. She also offers simple play-based techniques that can be implemented immediately, even by busy, exhausted parents.Whether you're raising toddlers, navigating the tween years, or supporting a neurodivergent child, this conversation is packed with practical tools that can help bring more peace and connection into your home. In This Episode: Why play is a child's primary language  The difference between connection-based parenting and permissive parenting  How playful parenting reduces power struggles and tantrums  Strategies for picky eaters and difficult transitions  The "Do-Over Method" for correcting behavior without shame  How play supports children with ADHD, autism, and sensory differences  Practical ways to strengthen parent-child connection in under five minutes  Why discipline works better when it's built on trust and attachment  Behind-the-scenes of writing Parenting Through Play Lessons from nearly 20 years as a child therapist and play therapist Connect with Dr. Kim Van DusenWebsite: The ParentologistInstagram: @theparentologistPodcast: The Parentologist PodcastBook: Parenting Through Play

Jimmy Whelan talks about leaving WorldTour cycling, becoming a Salomon-sponsored professional runner, training at altitude, chasing a sub-60 half marathon, and building toward the marathon long term.

Now training at altitude in Andorra and Font-Romeu, Jimmy is focused on chasing a sub-60 half marathon and building toward the marathon long term, with the LA Olympics as a major target. Jimmy shares his early running background, including an 8:11 3K and a top-five finish at Zatopek U23, before an Achilles injury pushed him toward cycling and rapidly into the professional ranks. He discusses the crashes, pressure, and stress that contributed to him leaving cycling in 2024, briefly considering triathlon, and then committing fully to running after a 61:37 half marathon in Valencia. Matt and Jimmy also cover high-mileage training, double-threshold work, altitude response, marathon potential, shoe development with Salomon, nutrition and carb tolerance from cycling, bicarb issues, sauna and heat protocols, anti-doping differences between cycling and running, selective cross-training, minimal strength and plyometrics, and why Jimmy is based in Barcelona.

Ten years ago, Gary popped his 100‑mile cherry on the Cleveland Way. Countless miles have been covered between then and now, but after a bit of refocusing found himself back on a start line, this time for the Hardmoors 200.Starting in Hull, the route winds through wooded slopes, over rolling hills, and down into deep valleys, before eventually climbing onto the northern escarpment and dropping toward the final stretch of the Wolds Way. At Filey you join the stunning 110‑mile Cleveland Way National Trail.Over the course of the weekend, Gary's race evolved from simply getting the job done to suddenly finding himself in pole position… and then hanging on for dear life as the pack closed in.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

This week, Gary is back from a very successful Hardmoors 200. It's not our full recap, but he shares some thoughts and takeaways from the whole 200 mile experience, and it's fair to say his emotions are easily triggered right now. Eddie is still on the injury bench, which is rough. Small gains, but sad times for our Eddie.The coaches tackle a listener question from someone who wants to become a coach, and we chat through what recovery can look like after a big race.This bumper episode also has Birthday Shout‑outs, Heavy Flexes, Tales from the Trails, and another incredible Strava Club.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

This episode with Vanessa Fontana dives deep into spirituality, inner child healing, anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, relationships, masculine and feminine energy, and learning how to truly heal from the things that haunt us. Vanessa opens up about growing up in chaos, healing her relationship with her parents, EMDR therapy, somatic healing, and how unprocessed trauma silently controls so many areas of our lives.

Most runners don't fail to break three hours because they're unfit. They fail because they're forcing a pace their body hasn't earned yet.Breaking three hours in the marathon is not about forcing yourself to hold 4:15 per kilometer pace and hoping you can survive. In this episode, I share the mindset shift that changed how I approach marathon training: stop pulling yourself toward an arbitrary goal and start building the kind of fitness that naturally pushes you past it. You'll learn why so many runners blow up late in the race, how to use pace, heart rate, and effort together to train smarter, and what a realistic path to sub-three actually looks like if you want to get there without burning out or getting injured.Key TakeawaysStop Pulling Toward Sub-Three: If every workout feels like a struggle, you may be forcing a pace your body is not ready for. Build the fitness first, and let the time come naturally.Use All Three Training Lenses: Pace shows how fast you are running, heart rate shows how your body is responding, and effort tells you how it feels. Using all three helps you train smarter.Give It Time: For most runners, breaking three hours takes more than one training cycle. Consistent progress over one to three years is often the real path to success.Timestamps[00:32] What You'll Learn[01:22] Why Runners Can't Break Sub 3 Hours[03:23] Quick Self-Check You Can Do Now[04:36] Use This to Run a Sub 3-Hour Marathon the Smart Way[05:23] The Physics of Why Your Training Backfires[06:16] Here's How I Learned This the Hard Way[08:36] Science Behind Why Polarized Training Wins for Marathon Training[09:18] Run Science Nerd Break: Cardiac Drift[10:23] The Actual Road to Sub-3 Mapped Out[12:01] Weeks 1 Through 8: Foundation + a Real Dose of VO2 Max[13:12] Weeks 9 Through 16: Maintain VO2 Max, Shift Priority to Threshold[16:50] This 3-Lens System Checks If You're Doing Too Much[18:35] Learn More About the 3 Marathon-Specific RunsLinks & Learnings

We're incredibly lucky this week to share the mics with a true legend of our sport. Kim Collison has taken on, and completed, some of the UK's roughest, toughest challenges. And it's not all about going long either. He's just as happy toeing the line at a local fell race.Kim joins us to talk about his recent Lakes, Meres & Waters record‑breaking run, but the conversation wanders beautifully through all sorts of topics, nutrition, training, how he picks his challenges and even his journey with cholesterol medication. Kim's not someone who seeks the limelight, so it felt like a real treat, for us and for you listening, that he said yes to our persistent DMs.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEAASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

It's finally here. The training is done, the excuses are gone, and Gary, along with a whole crew of wonderfully stubborn athletes, is about to set off on an adventure that will push every limit they've got. There'll be moments of doubt, a few questionable life choices, and probably more than one internal conversation about retiring from running altogether.But there will also be magic. A full weekend of grit, laughter, memories, and people proving, yet again, that what seems impossible is absolutely within reach.Click to TrackHARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEAASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

For his entire adult life, Olivier Duhaime has been no stranger to taking on hard challenges. Running his first marathon at just 18 years old proved a gateway into endurance sport that would see the Gatineau native tackle events from ironmans to ultramarathons and even a multi-day cross-province run from Quebec City to Ottawa. But when a shock cancer diagnosis in late 2021 put a pause to his endurance-sport lifestyle, it presented a test of perseverance unlike any he'd faced before. From training everyday to barely able to get out of bed, Olivier was faced with a mountain to climb that dwarfed even his longest trail ultras. But from a lifetime spent pushing his body to do the impossible he knew that at rock bottom there's nowhere to go but up, and after 51 rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, he emerged from a years-long battle cancer free.  Next week, Olivier will make his long-anticipated return to a marathon starting line close to home at the Tamarack Homes Ottawa International Marathon, where he'll be toeing the line in support the Ottawa Hospital Foundation whose care helped save his life.  Olivier joins The Shakeout Podcast to share his journey of recovery and his return to full the intensity marathon training,  and why this marathon carries extra importance as he raises awareness and funds for the future of the cause that gave him back his.  Support Olivier's Fundraising Efforts for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation Campaign to Create Tomorrow Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.

This week on the Tea & Trails podcast, Gary squeezed in a Bob Graham support and a race. Not exactly the textbook taper, but he had such a cracking weekend and wouldn't change a thing. And unbelievably, after all those months of graft, the Hardmoors 200 is now just one week away.Meanwhile, Eddie is on the injury bench with a herniated disc flare‑up. Grim timing as she gears up for the Spine, and we're all crossing fingers and toes it doesn't keep her off the trails for long.The coaches dig into a great listener question about bonking late in The Lap Ultra, what went wrong, what to learn, and how to avoid that death‑march shuffle next time.And finally, Eddie and Gary chew the fat about an absolutely wild Cocodona 250, including a sensational run from Precision Fuel & Hydration athlete Rachel Entrekin.

Vaibhav is a runner next door whose story will make you relate with you and inspire you to get out of the door and start running yourself. He was an absolute beginner up until 2021, struggled with Bronchitis and had never run before. Since then, he has come a long way and he is only getting started.Vaibhav spent time in being consistent, stayed disciplined and relentlessly prioritized his fitness.He then debuted in a marathon at Rome in 2025 and got to the finish line in an impressive time of 3:03.  He improvised it in Paris a month later to xxxx. He stayed patient, trained further and clocked an even more impressive finish time of 2:48:50 in 2026 London Marathon. Did you know he cramped at around 29 kms and so he had to cut back on his paces in the remaining 13 kms. If he stays on track, he may very well be running a much faster time in the months and years to come.In this episode we cover:How setbacks from UPSC results and bronchitis did not deter him from getting fitter, and eventually fasterWhy two years of 10 kilometres a day with no watch and no plan built a large aerobic baseHow Vaibhav went from 3:03 at Rome to 2:48 at London in under a yearThe 26-week training block that took him from 60 kilometres a week to 100 to 110 kilometres a weekHow interval sessions with his run club, Clapham Chasers, brought his 5K time from 18:30 to 17:16What went wrong at London — cramping at 28km due to a complete lack of electrolytes — and what he would do differentlyHow a corporate lawyer in London manages to train twice a day while working long hoursWhy discipline, not talent, is the only thing that separates people who achieve from people who do notAbout Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

Sebastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha both going sub-2 at the 2026 London Marathon. John Korir breaking the Boston course record. Performances that would have seemed impossible a decade ago are suddenly the new normal — and they're reshaping how everyone below the elite tier trains, too.In this episode, host Aditi Pandya sits down with Satish and Vijay to ask the question those races force: have the rules of marathon training actually changed? Together they unpack how the sport has moved from a “survival strategy” to an “attacking strategy” — and how amateur athletes are now living, training, and thinking like elites.What's covered in this episode:The super shoe era: how carbon-plated shoes have shaved minutes off world records, and how they've changed the way runners recover — minimising the injury patterns seen with early models.Democratisation of information: the internet, AI tools, and local role models behind the surge of amateur sub-3 marathoners.High mileage & the Norwegian method: the shift toward higher weekly volumes (often 100km+ for serious amateurs) and the rise of double-threshold training for race-day strength.Recovery as a priority: why sleep and simple nutrition are still king, and where saunas, Normatec boots, and magnesium fit in.The 100g+ carb revolution: training the gut to handle 100–115g of carbs per hour via gels and drink mixes, and pre-loading 48–72 hours before a race.Cutting-edge supplements: what serious runners are actually testing — sodium bicarbonate, beta-alanine, creatine, and a Swedish broccoli-based supplement called Nomio.Rapid-fire training advice: why consistency beats “magic workouts”, why the 32km marathon-pace block is overrated, and why post-run strides and hill sprints remain underrated.Host: Aditi PandyaAditi is a seasoned endurance runner and the host of The World of Running podcast. She is qualified for the Boston Marathon multiple times and has numerous podium finishes in Indian races, the recent one is first runners-up at the TMM 2025 half marathon and holds a personal best of 3:22:35 in the Boston marathon 2026. Learn more about her at aditipandya.com.Guest: SatishA self-confessed “running nerd” who discovered the sport in his 40s and has spent the last 15 years racing distances from the 10K to ultras. Satish is a passionate advocate for running as a lifelong activity and gives back to the community by mentoring and coaching other runners — including the host of this show.Guest: Vijayaraghavan VenugopalVijay is one of India's most accomplished masters marathoners, with 10 sub-3 finishes and all six World Marathon Majors completed. His best: 2:47 at the 2025 London Marathon. He's also the co-founder of Fast&Up, a leading Bangalore-based nutrition brand, and a frequent favourite guest on the podcast.References & resources discussed:RunStrong Online training platformRun Less, Run Faster Book mentioned by VijayNew book by Marius Bakken Discussed by Satish on the Norwegian/double-threshold methodFast&Up Nutrition:Maurten Hydrogels & Drink Mixes:Fly Carb sodium bicarbonate supplementNomio Swedish broccoli-based supplement for high-intensity trainingSelf-coached Vinnie Mauri's sensational win at Glass City marathon as referenced by SatishFollow us for more updates:YouTube: GeeksOnFeetFacebook: GeeksOnFeetInstagram: GeeksOnFeetNewsletter: GeeksOnFeet

It's the middle of May and if you're a marathon runner chances are that means one of two things for you:  either entering the final weeks, days, or maybe hours of your race taper or, on the other end of the spectrum, relearning the fundamentals of basic human function after your most recent date with 42.2km. With marathon season peaking we're diving into a topic that's often overlooked but critically important: recovery. And here to share their knowledge on the topic are a couple of guys who happen to know a thing or two about getting the most out of themselves on race day and bouncing back to do it all over again.  This week on The Shakeout Podcast we're joining forces with Rory Linkletter and Jacob Thomson, professional marathoners, coaches, and hosts of the Out & Back Podcast. Fresh off a pair of Personal best performances  (2:09:51 & 2:06:04, respectively) at last month's Boston Marathon, Rory and Jacob are here to share their pro-tips on how to nail the taper, navigate race weekend, crush your goal race, and then get your body ready to go again for the next one. So whether you're wrapping up your build and looking to put the finishing touches on your fitness to get the most out of yourself on race day or have been there, done that and simply want to find out how you can get back to descending staircases like a normal person again, then today's episode is for you.  Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.

Every sport has had its watershed moment when a new technology upends the landscape and redefines what's possible. Baseball had torpedo bats, swimming the Lazer swimsuits, road cycling the introduction of aerodynamic carbon frames and in running we are living through an era defined by what were first, and best, described as “super shoes.”  For the last decade, the shoe industry has gone into overdrive to create shoes capable of blending impossible lightness with unbelievable energy return. The holy grail sought by shoe designers in this footwear arms race: crafting the pair of shoes that would propel the first man in history to a sub 2-hour marathon performance.  As of Sunday, we are now officially living in the new sub-2 era, as not one, but two men, Kenya's Sabastian Sawe and Ethiopia's Yomif Kejelcha, tore down the two-hour marathon barrier at last weekend's London Marathon.  While every factor imaginable aligned perfectly for these two men to take the sport somewhere no one has gone before, one factor in particular has drawn the lion's share of attention: the shoes. Both Sawe and Kejelcha ran in the just-released adidas Adios Pro Evo 3, a shoe touted as the lightest, fastest super shoe ever created. This week on The Shakeout Podcast we're diving into what makes these super shoes so super, and what physiological factors they impact that have helped runners achieve times long-thought impossible. To make sense of it all is Olympian and Mayo Clinic exercise physiologist Dr. Shalaya Kipp, a leading thinker in the science of shoe innovation. As one of the first researchers to quantify the running economy-improving benefits of super shoes, Shalaya reveals to us what specific factors are at play in these record-breaking shoes, how our bodies respond to these factors over the marathon distance and why runners of lesser ability might actually benefit the most from this new era of shoe tech.  Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.

This week on the Tea & Trails podcast we're talking all things Stair Stepper, how to use it, when to use it. Neither Gary nor Eddie are exactly Stepper superfans, but we know plenty of you swear by it for your vert, so we're diving in.Eddie also pops on her coaching hat to chat about the classic back‑to‑back long run versus Gary's preferred method: the double… but absolutely not back‑to‑back long runs.We also cast our eyes across the pond for a pinch of inspiration from the mighty Cocodona 250!Meanwhile, another week of Hardmoors 200 and Spine Race training is in the bank, and you lot have been absolutely smashing it over on Strava, big miles, big races, big energy. We've got a cracking Tales from the Trail and a Heavy Flex lined up too.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEAASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Most runners spend years chasing a Boston Qualifier. Aditi Pandya spent six years not even thinking about it — and then ran 3:22:35 at the 2026 Boston Marathon.In Episode 252 of Run with Fitpage, Vikas Singh sits down with Aditi Pandya — endurance runner and co-founder of Geeks on Feet, to discuss her journey to the Boston Marathon.Aditi started as a hobby jogger in Mumbai who did not know the difference between a half marathon and a full marathon. Her first marathon in 2019 took her 4 hours and 37 minutes. She trained with friends, had no coach, and piled up injuries. Six years, multiple setbacks, a pelvic injury that forced eight months of rehabilitation, and a piriformis niggle that stayed through her Boston preparation — and yet on April 20, 2026, she crossed the Copley Square finish line.Know more about Geeks on Feet - Geeks on FeetIn this episode:How roller skating and field hockey led to a running career she never plannedWhy it took six years from running casually to even considering a Boston QualifierThe 13-week training block that built her Boston performance — hills, tempos, strength training, and gut trainingWhy she trained on normal daily trainers and avoided carbon plate shoes in preparation Managing a piriformis injury through Boston training — what she did and what she refused to skipRace day at Boston — the cold, the hills, Heartbreak Hill, and running 42.76km instead of 42.195In-race fueling — every 30 minutes, gel strategy, electrolytes, and the carb numbers behind a 3:22Why food and sleep are not soft habits — they are training variablesWhat she would tell every runner who is dreaming of Boston right nowAbout Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

This week we sit down with the very talented, and equally humble, Barney Plummer. The Helm Hill athlete has been making serious waves on the UK trail scene, stacking up wins and course records at some of the country's most competitive races. It was his first time on Tea & Trails, which meant the conversation wandered a bit... Boat crashes, tea etiquette, road marathons, The Lap, The 13 Valleys Ultra, Old County Tops, and of course his incredible victory at the 2026 Fellsman. https://fellsman.org.uk/Pic Credit - @andymiltonphotographyHARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEAASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Memorial Marathon and thank you to everyone who made it such a special #RUNtoREMEMBER. Thank you for another great season of the run member podcast. We'll see you next year!

Matt and Kyle recap the Boston Marathon, discussing standout performances, strong Australian results, and how favorable tailwinds can make Boston far faster than many expect despite the course profile. They break down race execution, fast early splits, and why Boston can sometimes race more like a flat fast marathon than people assume. Matt's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Matt's Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/6248359/ Kyle's Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/3517976/ Kyle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kyle_weise/ Supporters Club: https://www.sweatelite.co/supporters-club/ Coaching: https://www.sweatelitecoaching.com/matt-fox The conversation then shifts to Kyle's Gold Coast Marathon build, balancing fatherhood and full-time physiotherapy work while preparing for a strong marathon performance. They discuss recent 10K racing as a turning point for confidence and fitness, current weekly mileage, a key 4 x 2K workout, and how shorter races can be used as valuable marathon build checkpoints without needing to be in PB shape. They also cover influencer culture versus elite running performance, tall poppy syndrome, and why attention and actual results often do not align. Kyle explains how to manage niggles, when to seek professional help, and applies that thinking to Matt's calf issue during his return from a sacral stress fracture. The episode finishes with thoughts on doubles versus singles, training cycles beyond the traditional seven-day week, group training benefits, and why learning how to race matters just as much as fitness itself.

This week, we're joined by inov‑8 ambassador James Gibson, it's his very first time on the show. So we take the chance to hear how he found his way into running, and how the high fells became his happy place.In recent years he's completed some of the UK's toughest mountain challenges, including a winter Double Bob Graham Round, if that wasn't enough, he's also set a record on the Double Paddy Buckley Round.We chat through both of these enormous winter efforts, what drew him to them, how he prepared, and what it actually feels like to push through two full rounds back‑to‑back when most people would be calling it a day after one.Despite these world‑class performances, James remains famously low‑key. He's a running coach, a Mountain Leader, and someone who has spent years guiding people up Scafell Pike and across the Lakeland fells. That background, long days on the hills, carrying weight, moving steadily through rough ground has shaped him into the resilient, quietly determined athlete he is today.https://www.jamesgibsoncoaching.co.uk/Pic Credit - Jamie Rutherford @jmruther4dHARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEAASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we sit down with veteran endurance specialist Coach Todd to tackle the "cram session" of marathon preparation. We ask the hard questions: When is it officially too late to start training? How do you pivot when a Wisconsin winter or a lingering injury sidelines your progress? We tease the specific "red flags" that mean you should pull the plug and the "predictor workouts" that prove whether your sub-4:00 goal is a reality or a risk.Why You Should Listen: Learn how to pivot your strategy when you're undertrained and how to avoid the mismanagement of common running injuries.Our guest this episode: Coach Todd (Smart Approach Training)Facebook: Smart Approach TrainingInstagram: @RunCoachToddConnect with Us:Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@marathonjournalFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607

This episode is about more than miles, more than training, and more than race day. It's about Why We Run. The Memorial Marathon honors those who were killed, those who survived, and those changed forever by the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. Every year, the Marathon begins with 168 seconds of silence, one second for each individual who was killed. And along the course, runners pass 168 banners, each carrying the name of someone whose story continues to inspire us. Today, we're sharing the personal “why” behind the people who make this event what it is. Their stories remind us that the Memorial Marathon is about far more than running. It's about celebrating life, lifting up a community, and ensuring that we never forget. First, we'll talk with Blayne Arthur, whose mother Dr. Peggy Clark — was killed in the Oklahoma City bombing. Blayne has participated in the Memorial Marathon for several years and her friends and family come together in a big way every race weekend. Then, hear from Nick Chafey, whose mother Rona Linn Kuehner-Chafey was killed in the Oklahoma City bombing. Nick has been a dedicated volunteer and serves as the Memorial Marathon's on-course medical chairman! Next, meet Chris Scheiern, a captain with the OKC Fire department who is getting ready to run the half marathon this year. He was a young boy when the bombing happened, but has been able to work with and learn from several firefighters who responded to the bombing. Then, we'll chat with Mason Hendon, Marathoner and Emergency Medical Technician as he shares what motivates him, and how he finds time to train with his busy schedule. Finally, meet OKC Police Sergeant Chris Teeter who is getting ready to lace up his shoes and run the Memorial Marathon! He is just one of the dozens of OKC police officers who will be participating in the Memorial Marathon.
