Description

In today's in-person episode, Dan and Owain break down the physiological components of marathon running.


There's more to the marathon (and other distances) than just having a big VO2max! Thresholds, economy, and durability all interact with each other, and as you'll hear, there's more than one way to run a marathon from a physiological perspective.
