Runners FM

This week we’re joined by John Davis, author of "Marathon Excellence For Everyone" and the man behind Running Writings. 

We also put the method into practice, with plenty of ideas that will feel familiar to fans of Renato Canova, and take a look at Victor’s Valencia Marathon build.

Good stuff!

94. The Performance Ceiling (with Mads)

This week I finally got to sit down with my good friend Anton Myhrvold for a conversation about longevity, consistency and passion.

Anton has been one of Sweden’s best skateboarders for more than 20 years. We talk about the crazy years in Barcelona riding for Sweet Skateboards, how his mindset has changed over time, and why he’s taking care of his body more seriously today than ever before.

There’s a lot runners can learn from Anton. Not because he runs, but because he’s managed to stay passionate, healthy and performing at a high level for so many years.This conversation was a pure joy. We could have kept going for many more hours.

Good stuff!

92. The Mastermind (with Mads Taersboel)

Den här veckan gästas vi på Runners FM av Johan och Jeff från Aktivitus för att prata om laktatbaserad träning.

Vad är egentligen laktat? Varför har tröskelträning blivit så populärt? Och hur kan du använda laktatmätning för att träna smartare?

Vi passar också på att berätta om vårt Runners FM x Aktivitus event på Downtown Camper i Stockholm den 11 juli. Dagen börjar med ett föredrag där vi går igenom grunderna i tröskelträning, hur du kan använda laktat i din träning och vilka misstag som är vanliga. Därefter ger vi oss ut på ett gemensamt tröskelpass där vi mäter laktat live.

Hoppas vi ses på Downtown Camper den 11 juli! LINK TO EVENT: https://www.aktivitus.se/smangs2026/

91. The Lactate Lesson with Aktivitus (in Swedish)

Matthew Hansen (aka matthanso) has been a dream guest for Runners FM ever since we launched the podcast. From day one, we knew we wanted to have him on the show.

Last month, Matt published a brilliant blog post on his coaching platform, Infinite Threshold Coaching, titled “things i wish i knew before chasing this sport at the highest level.” After reading it, we knew we had to get him on the podcast to dive deeper into the ideas behind it.

In this honest and thoughtful conversation, Matt and Victor unpack the lessons, mistakes, and insights Matt has gathered throughout his running journey, discussing everything from training and performance to mindset and personal growth.

Good stuff!

The boys are back in the podcast booth, at Downtown Camper, after Victor’s time at the Santa Pola Camp.
