This podcast is all about getting sport science research out into the public domain. We cover what we do and don't know regarding all topics related to endurance running performance and, more importantly, how can we use this information to make ourselves healthier and faster runners! Your hosts are Dr Dan Osborn-Nash, 2:15 marathon runner and sport physiologist for Welsh Athletics and Welsh Triathlon, and Owain Zerilli, MSc student exploring the effects of heat on EPO release and 2:38 marath ...

Dan & Owain are back again to dissect Dan's training - but begin with an exciting announcement about the podcast! With 6 weeks to go until Valencia marathon, Dan returns to a fairly normal training week! Using lab data to guide his return to sessions, they go through Dan's aborted session, followed by a quality session later in the week. They also …

In this episode, we review Dan's week following his PB at Cardiff Half Marathon. Initially, a positive start, with a quick recovery from the race. We then discuss Dan's strength training regime that he has introduced as a "marginal gain" in this Valencia block. Unfortunately, Dan then caught one of the many viruses going around which led to three d…

After giving their excuses for recording a week later than planned, Dan & Owain delve into Durability. As they discuss, durability is a growing area of research and particularly impacts marathon (and ultra) performance. But how do you measure it, and how do you improve it? A new mini-series is announced to close the show...https://forms.gle/XGmxsR6…

In today's in-person episode, Dan and Owain break down the physiological components of marathon running. There's more to the marathon (and other distances) than just having a big VO2max! Thresholds, economy, and durability all interact with each other, and as you'll hear, there's more than one way to run a marathon from a physiological perspective.…

Is threshold training old news? Should we all be following the "American Method"? Dan & Owain talk through the mens 1500m Olympic final; how the race played out, what training is best to run a championship 1500m, will we see a shift of training methods in the next 4 years. What did you think of the 1500m final, and the rest of the Olympic events? D…

In this episode Dan & Owain discuss the physiology of the warm up. For many runners, a warm up features some jogging and possibly a few strides. But the warm up of a professional runner differs significantly, due to some interesting research into what is often referred to as "priming". Dan & Owain discuss some of the history of the research, the ph…

Welcome back! Dan finally feels like he has the time to relaunch the pod and is joined by new co-host, Owain Zerilli.In this episode, we delve into all things "easy running". We started with defining what easy running is from a physiology perspective, before going into describing what benefits we can (and can't) expect from training in "zone 2". We…

Threshold training has come to prominence in recent years, primarily through the success of the Ingebrigtsens. In this episode, I discuss what threshold training actually entails, why it might be a useful intensity to train at, and what are the limitations with threshold training. A lot of the dicussion is centred around a recent review that discus…
