In the 16th episode of Runners FM, we’re joined by Norwegian podcast host and elite runner Kristian Ulriksen. Kristian, known for his podcasts "Breaking Marathon Limits" and "I Det Lange Løp", is currently in Kenya training.

During our conversation, he shares insights from his recent training experiences with his new coach, Jordan Donnelley. Together, they’ve discovered new dimensions in training, and it will be fascinating to see how this hard work translates at the Valencia Marathon.

Kristian also discusses the renowned coach Renato Canova’s unique training blocks, offering us a closer look at what they entail. We dive into what it truly takes to become an elite runner, and how we can better support the next generation of runners in the Nordic countries.

Mexican-American world-class runner Diego Estrada has made history by becoming the first guest ever to join us in our recording studio. Earlier this year, he set another record, the American record for the 25K and is now focused on competing in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. In our conversation, we explore concepts like double and even triple thresholds, various training regimens, and the mistakes Diego regrets from his career—along with what he would have done differently.
