Our longest podcast yet! We talk our recent races, training, the half marathon world record. Ewan has also moved house, so we’ll blame him for the delayed podcast episode.

Coaching - https://thedentalathlete.com/ In this podcast we go through our training weeks (like usual) and do an in-depth run through of our current running shoe rotation and what running shoes we recommend for runners. That includes building out a shoe rotation.

Welcome back to the Run The Grind podcast, sorry for the delayed start this year, we've recorded 3 podcasts but the first two we decided to delete for reasons it's best not to go into. On this episode we talk new years resolutions and life, what do we have going on in the future and a lot of nonsense!

On this episode we answer questions asked to us by Jake Dearden. This includes our max weight in the Gym, VO2 Max training, cross training, recovery and much more!

On today's episode we talk about Alfie's Half Marathon debut, some of our favourite businesses within the running industry and answer some questions about how to train effectively whilst aiming to minimise injury.

This episode is all about the running "1%'s". Stuff like ice baths, Saunas, compression socks, etc.. Alfie and Ewan discuss if they actually work (for them). If you'd like to sign up to our runclub you can click here - https://forms.gle/BCWG4xW1D93GeFVE7
