DB Performance Running Podcast ·

2025/05/08

Have super shoes peaked? Or is there still room to get a faster shoe? In this episode, I break down a new study that puts Puma’s prototype Fast-R 3—designed using computational optimization—head-to-head with top-tier shoes like the Alphafly and Adios Pro Evo. The results? Every runner tested had their best running economy in the FR3.

Today I'm ranting about my favorite time of workout - the fartlek! And more specifically, the alternating fartlek, aka Over/Unders or On/Off workout!I love these sessions. If i had to pick one type of workout that I could do every week, it would be some variation of an alternating fartlek session. These have been a key to my development as a marathon runner, helping me achieve a 2:16 marathon and stand on 2 Olympic Marathon Trials startlines.

In this episode, I’m diving into something I see all the time in athletes—and something I’ve wrestled with myself: fishing for confidence. That urge to prove you're ready, to show you're fit by pushing workouts harder than they need to be. But the truth is, forced confidence never sticks. It’s fragile, and it fades.I talk about where real confidence actually comes from—consistent work, trust in the process, and belief that builds over time. I’ll share how to shift away from chasing
