He also talks about his first impressions and experiences with David Grey’s “Hip Program.” Victor’s fitness is on the rise — but the real question is: could he really run a 10K in 30:30 at any given time? Special guest Robert Gorgos from MNSTRY Nutrition joins the show to talk about their brand-new Bicarb Gel, which just launched and sold out almost instantly. He shares valuable insights into how bicarbonate can be used to enhance performance and what to think about when creating your own protocol. To wrap things up, Andreas share some Netflix “must sees”.

In episode 46, we're thrilled to welcome Jakob Åberg, Satisfy Pro Runner, to the studio. In 2023, Jakob won Kullamannen 100, putting a well-deserved spotlight on his name in the ultra community. Despite being based in Stockholm, Jakob consistently logs impressive weekly mileage and manages to rack up serious elevation gain—how does he do it? We talk about his training strategies, including why he stacks long sessions back-to-back, and how he maintains balance while managing such a high training volume. Jakob also shares his thoughts on Strava, and gives us insight into how he became part of the Satisfy Pro team. All this and much more—enjoy the episode! Hosted on Acast.

| 47. The Jordan Donnelly | 18 Jun 2025 | 01:05:51 | |
Diamond League came to Stockholm and so did Jordan Donnelly which gave us an opportunity to get him into the recording booth. With over 15 years of experience working with some of the top brands in the sport, his knowledge runs deep. We had a fantastic conversation covering everything from the evolution of super shoes and the creation of Usain Bolt’s spikes, to what it really means to be race-ready—and the emotional impact of a DNF. We also explored the value of a “tight but loose” mindset and the importance of training without carbon fiber to build true strength and resilience. Hosted on Acast.
