    #654 - Brad Culp and the Norwegian Method: The Culture, Science, and Humans Behind the Groundbreaking Approach to Elite Endurance Performance
    Nov 1 2024
    Norway has long stacked the field with champions in sports like Nordic skiing and sailing, but a new generation of athletes has arrived on the endurance scene, smashing records and grabbing medals in running, cycling, and triathlon. Sports journalist Brad Culp unpacks the rise of the Norwegian method and its meticulous scientific protocols, which upend long-held beliefs about training and performance. With its rugged terrain and harsh weather, Norway has a way of hardening competitors for any test. Culp explores the how the Scandinavian culture imbues a unique biopsychosocial approach to performance. He also introduces the athletes, coaches, and scientists who are shaking up the world of endurance sports. Their secret? Plenty of volume at low intensity, punctuated with hard-fought double-threshold workouts, which seems to turn workhorses into winners—they know when to hold back and when to go all-out. The Norwegian Method is a real-life story of how discipline and determination can be employed to overcome seemingly impossible odds and achieve breakthrough performances. Culp gives endurance athletes a blueprint of how to adapt their training to look more like that of Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Kristian Blummenfelt.

    #652 - Chelsea Zaloumis: Running Long, Hilarity, and Sharing Everything Along the Way
    Oct 24 2024
    Chelsea Zaloumis is an accomplished marathoner and ultrarunner who burst on the scene over the last year in both her running and her hilarious running-focused short form video content. In this episode, Chelsea details how she qualified for the Boston Marathon, dove into the trail and ultra scene, and has dealt with sharing her running journey in a open and honest way even when she struggles (like she did recently at the Twin Cities Marathon). Chelsea is an incredible bright, thoughtful, and funny individual and it was an honor to have her on the show. You can follow Chelsea on Instagram at www.instagram.com/chelseazruns. --- Sponsors ASICS - Check out my favorite footwear brand, and the new Superblast 2 (my favorite shoe of 2024) at www.asics.com.
