In this episode of the Sweat Elite podcast, host Matt Fox interviews South African marathoner Adam Lipschitz. Matt quizes Adam about his impressive achievement at the Valencia Marathon, where he clocked 2:08:54 —the fastest marathon time by a South African in 2023—while training only 86 kilometers (53 miles) per week in the 12 weeks leading up to the race. Adam discusses his unique training methods, including the use of an ARC trainer, his strategic approach to fueling, and balancing his running with social life and entrepreneurship. He also touches on a doping issue within South African athletics and his goals for future races and the Olympics.
