Welcome to episode 209 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

It’s a new year and we’re stoked to kick it off with one of our favorite humans and Swimrunner extraordinaire, Fanny Kuhn. If you aren’t familiar with Fanny, she is a two-time Swimrun World Champion, Co-founder of Wild Swimrun, and is basically Swimrun royalty. We can’t think of a better guest to start year 4 of the podcast.

But first…

Training Update

The holidays are over and it’s time to get back into the routine. We will ideally be hitting the pool 3-4 times and running 3-4 times per week. Our Swimrun season will likely kick off at ÖTILLÖ Engadin (join us!) so we’ll start getting “serious” in late February.

Shoutout

Our shoutout this week goes to the country of Germany. It recently passed Canada to reach 4th place in our total downloads per country metrics. Thank you to all the German Swimrunners out there checking out the show. Vielen Dank!

Feats of Endurance

This week’s award goes to our friend Mara Tynan. She hiked (and camped) across Catalina Island over three days and everything looked epic…even the bison poop. Strong work!

Make sure to sign up for our LTBz Strava Club and join Swimrunners from around the world as they train for stuff.
