Runners FM

The boys are finally back together in the podcast booth for the first time in nearly three months, and the energy is predictably high! They’re joined by their favourite Dane, Mads Taersboel, for a deep dive into base training, the different energy systems, and what we’re really trying to achieve at this stage of the season. Good stuff!

Runners FM is recorded at Downtown Camper in Stockholm.

In this week’s episode, the boys are joined by Swedish ultra runner Anton Gustafsson.
Anton is a three time Swedish 100km champion who regularly logs 270km training weeks. Tune in to hear how easy he thinks it will be to run a sub30 10k and whether he enjoys being called the Swedish Jake Barraclough.

There was also some live drama during the podcast recording that you won't want to miss (yes, Victor is fine).

Good stuff!

The first episode of 2026! The boys look back at their 2025 results and start planning for the 2026 spring season. There’s some solid reflection and analysis, and the motivation is high going into the new year. Ben Felton also sent us a message where he shares some inspiring time goals for his 2026 season. Good stuff!

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!
