    "Something’s cooking in Stockholm. It was love at first sight, when elite runner Victor Smångs and director and runner Andreas Almkvist met. They’re been hanging out ever since, and late August this year, they launched the Runners FM Podcast - a shirtless show about lactate, hill sprints, shoe rotations and much more. Meet the guys in this 75th episode of the world’s most self-congratulatory lifestyle running podcast"

    17. The training talk you don't want to miss! How to do hill-sprints, heat training update, Norwegian method questions and Steve Magness appreciation
    Nov 20 2024
    In episode 17, we revisit Victor's heat training journey, as the team from Core has flown in from the U.S. to document his progress. We also provide an update on our current training and conditioning, and look ahead to our upcoming tests with Mads. Hill sprints are frequently praised and discussed, but how should you actually perform them, and is a "hill" absolutely necessary? Victor addresses two common questions he often receives regarding 5x6-minute intervals and 400-meter intervals.

    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.

    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.
