Jen, Owain & Dan are back to break down their Valencia training blocks!

They break down their training by hours, time in zones, sessions, and reflect on what went well, and what didn't!

Congrats to our Soar giveaway winner too!

Maranoia in podcast-form. The squad is back for their last full week of training before the race. Jen's losing it, Owain's a bit too nonchalant, and Dan is in the best shape of his life.

Let us know what you think we'll run! And best of luck if you're racing too!

Dan & Owain are joined by Dr Sam Shepherd, Head of Sport Science at Precision Fuel & Hydration, and a researcher who has investigated carbohydrate intake and supplements at Birmingham University and Liverpool John Moores University.

Sam has undertaken work to investigate the impact of blackcurrant extract, using the CurraNZ blackcurrants that Dan, Owain & Jen have been using. He talks us through a recent paper about the supplement, as well as wider thoughts about supplements and carbohydrate intake!

Dan & Owain are back to discuss an exciting new paper that's just been published, about using baths to improve performance. The paper's author, PhD student Elliott Jenkins joins them to talk through the research!
