In this week’s episode, we’re finally releasing our training talk with Hendrik Pfeiffer. Victor and Hendrik sat down for a great conversation about his training back in August 2025 and we’ve been saving it until now. Coming off a huge new personal best of 2:06:45 in Valencia, there’s no better time to hear how one of Europe’s top marathoners trains and prepares for peak performance. This one’s packed with great marathon insight. Good stuff!

This week on Runners FM, the boys chat through everything that happened in Valencia last weekend. A few speedy and entertaining runners sent in their race reports, giving the pod lots to dig into. Meanwhile, Frej and Victor both cleared 200+ km last week as they keep building toward fast half marathon times in 2026.

Good stuff!

This week is all about Frej’s race report from San Sebastián. How did it feel coming off the good vibes at the NYC Marathon? Could he dial in, stay focused, and deliver at full capacity once again? Tune in to hear our guy tell the story of his final race of the year, where the goal was a solid new PB.

Good stuff!

In this week’s episode, you’ll get Mads answers to last week’s nerdy Q&A questions. We promise there’s plenty of great knowledge coming your way. It’s also Frej’s marathon week, so the episode kicks off with all his thoughts on how he’s planning to attack a new PB down in San Sebastián. It’s one of our longest episodes yet. Perfect for your Sunday long run. Good stuff!

The guys get together to talk about where they’re at right now. Frej is gearing up for the San Sebastián Marathon, and Victor is slowly easing back into training, with the Barcelona Half Marathon as his next big goal. They also take time to answer some great questions that came in through the Q&A folder.

Frej and Victor both tackled a marathon last weekend and boy, do they have stories! In this week’s episode, the boys spill the beans on their epic race adventures from New York and Auckland. One of them just had the week of a lifetime, while the other… well, let’s say it wasn’t exactly one for the highlight reel. Running life is full of highs, lows, and everything in between. But quitting? Not an option. Good stuff!

The boys are preparing for this week’s marathons. Victor is running his debut marathon in Auckland and Frej is running the NYC marathon. They also go through the very inspiring results from Valencia Half Marathon - Andreas Almgren set a European Half Marathon record and Alfie Manthorpe ran fast and provided us with some good heat data from his CORE monitor which he wore during the race. 

Good stuff!

Victor has landed in Australia and is preparing for his marathon debut next week. 

Frej has been pacing his little brother, Noa, during this year’s very interesting version of Uppsala marathon where a bomb in the middle of the course made the biggest headlines. Good stuff!
