In today’s episode, we’re joined by Morgan Pearson, a two-time Olympic silver medalist in team triathlon. We dive into his early career, exploring his transition from swimming to running, and ultimately, to triathlon. Morgan now resides in Lafayette, just outside Boulder, Colorado, and we’re eager to hear if Boulder really lives up to its reputation on social media.
We also have some listener questions for Morgan: What does a typical week of training look like for him, and how does he prepare for a major race? Will he be competing in the Duathlon World Championship? Does he train in all aerobic zones across all three disciplines? What’s his favorite fast food? And, for aspiring triathletes, how should a runner get started with triathlon?

February 19, 2025 31. The Good Stuff
Our favorite Dane, Mads Taersboel, joins us for a conversation covering a wide range of topics. Andreas has just completed his first LT1 session, and it’s clear that running plays a key role in his overall well-being. We dive into the ongoing debate about Bryan Johnson’s obsession with VO2 max and discuss why his olive oil doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.
Victor is gearing up for his major races, and we talk about how Mads is adjusting his training and managing the tapering process to avoid disrupting his homeostasis. We also explore the benefits of occasionally doing long training sessions, and what is the reason when Mads leaves the decision of one particularly long session each year in the hands of his girlfriend.

David Alledal joins us in the studio for our milestone 25th episode. We’ve been eager to revisit some of the quotes that inspired us in 2024, and who better to invite than the man that shared, "Look where the energy is going." with us. Once a dedicated cyclist, David has since shifted his focus to exercise driven by compassion and more time spent with his family rather than on his performance. In this conversation, we dive into his transformative journey—discussing why his trip to India was 51% the best decision he ever made and 49% the worst experience of his life. We explore what happens when you start truly listening to yourself and realize that change is needed at a fundamental level. David also shares why he no longer logs his training sessions and why he started to look at himself self as a battery and explains the importance of embracing wall quotes for personal growth.
