Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

We’ve got a great show for everyone this week.

Get your notepads out for this one!

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 254 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

The off-season is upon us but that doesn’t mean that we will stop dropping fire episodes replete with knowledge bombs. Case in point…joining us this week to chat about the latest and greatest fueling and hydration sport science is the new Head of Sport Science at Precision Fuel and Hydration, Dr. Sam Shepherd. No time like the present/off-season to level up your fueling game and this conversation is worth its weight in carbs.

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 252 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

Happy Halloween everybody! We’ve got a great show for everyone this week. Joining us from Cape Town, South Africa is Rich McMartin, founder of Torpedo Swimrun and host of the first Swimrun in Africa. The 2024 edition of this Swimrun is taking place on November 30th and we got all the details about the “coldest/coolest race in Africa. This was a great conversation and it’s more proof that the international Swimrun movement is alive and well!

But first…

Training/Chipper’s Knee Update

Chipper is back to running and is “not being an idiot” with his recovery. 

Shoutout

This week’s shoutout goes to everyone racing ÖTILLÖ Austin this weekend. If you’re waiting for the last minute to sign up, well now is your time to shine! Use the code LOWTIDE15 to save 15% off of your registration.

Feats of Endurance

This week’s winner goes to Swimrunner and friend of show Jonathan Pascual for completing the Ironman World Championship in Kona over the weekend. In 2022, he was diagnosed with a rare and incurable form of cancer and never stopped fighting. Fast forward two years and he was able to train to complete one of the hardest triathlons on the planet. To call him an inspiration is an understatement!

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

Torpedo Swimrun

It was great to chat with Rich McMartin. We really hit it off and chatted about all sorts of stuff including his Rockman experience, hanging out with Michael Lemmel on Utö, and of course, we spoke at length about his Swimrun. 

With that, let’s get to our conversation with Rich McMartin of Torpedo Swimrun.

Enjoy!
