Some Work, All Play

168. Leadville 100 Magic, UTMB Preview, and Lower Volume Training!


Listen Later

We had a blast on this episode talking about some of our favorite topics! The main discussion was on takeaways from a magical Leadville 100 Miler. Jacquie Mannhard's breakthrough win came from shockingly low training volume (often under 45 miles per week) and we break down some lessons from her journey. At the finish, she popped a champagne bottle like it was her destiny! New life goal: train hard to pop them bottles. We also break down this year's UTMB races, making some predictions and debating some big themes in the growth of the sport. Is this the year that Jim Walmsley wins? Yes, one of us thinks. Will we bet against Courtney Dauwalter? At least one of us is not stupid.

And that was only the start! Topics: a new study on energy constraints and compensation, some relationship thoughts, a listener corner that will give you so much life, and hot takes. Here's one take we are comfortable writing down: standing desks are how we know the Devil is a furniture designer.
