#75 - Ralph Returns for Easter Chaos

Orienteer Pod ·

2026/04/09

Ralph is back, which means normal service resumes: immediate abuse, strong opinions, and slightly more structure than last time.We get into a packed weekend of racing at JK and Swedish League, with snow, mud, mispunches, blocked toilets, and Tim somehow making a sprint podium while barely running. Magnus continues his fight against fake Strava athletes and adds arm wrestling to his increasingly confusing training plan.Some real orienteering, some public chaos, and a very important debate about

#74 - Strava Fraud and Other Career Options

Orienteer Pod ·

2026/03/26

Episode 74 and we immediately lose control… mainly because Ralph isn’t here.Tim and Magnus try to run a serious podcast but instead end up analysing Ralph’s Italian results and debating whether he’s actually just still lost. There’s a full breakdown of Magnus’ Danish Night Champs disaster, Tim’s slow transition into becoming a cyclist, and a completely unnecessary investigation into fake Strava activities that somehow turns into a business idea.On top of that, Tim is still stuck in cross-training

#73 - Goutta Be Kidding Me

Orienteer Pod ·

2026/03/12

Episode 73 is what happens when the boys spend a weekend in Halland and immediately start comparing split times like it means anything in March. Magnus claims progress because his back now lets him move closer to a normal person again, Ralph claims he was only out for a long run, and Tim returns with a diagnosis that makes him sound about 78 years old.We get into sand dunes, nearby controls, and whether Magnus is finally learning to run in a straight line. On top of that, Tim explains his gout-era

#72 - Emil Wingstedt: Built Different

Orienteer Pod ·

2026/02/26

Episode 72 and we’ve finally got the first guest of the year for you!Emil Wingstedt joins us to talk about winning World Championships, dominating European sprints, and why coaching Ralph might be the greatest challenge of his career. From four consecutive European sprint titles to life as a national coach (and occasional IOF outlaw), Emil shares how he went from a decent junior to one of the best orienteers of his era.We dive into training philosophy, brutal interval blocks, relay pressure, sprint

#71 – Business as Usual

Orienteer Pod ·

2026/02/12

Episode 71 and the boys are finally back together, attempting to recap what we’ve actually been up to lately.Tim is playing it smart with his injury and sticking to shorter races, Magnus is battling winter and Ralph has invested in some very serious-looking ankle braces in the name of “performance”. Matching outfits were involved for reasons still unclear.Somewhere between training updates and life admin we talk actual orienteering, drift into Winter Olympics chat, and compare how badly our nations

#70 - But Why?

Orienteer Pod ·

2026/01/29

Episode 70 marks the return after a suspiciously long break. New year, big promises: structure, regular releases — all said confidently before immediately talking over each other. We apologise for disappearing, announce a bold new plan, and realise mid-episode that it might already be failing.Tim finally reveals the unresolved cliffhanger from last year: 25 days into 2026 and he still hasn’t run. Injuries, creative definitions of “training,” and whether the year really counts yet are all debated. We

#69 - Episode 69

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/12/20

Episode 69 somehow became exactly what it was always destined to be: long, rambling, and only loosely about orienteering. Magnus is finally back online after disappearing to altitude camp in Uganda, where “easy runs” apparently mean getting dropped by half-marathon world record holders and learning life lessons over chai, chapati and Ludo. Tim is busy limping between the sofa, the treadmill and the X-ray department, while insisting everything is totally fine. Ralph mostly tries to keep the

#68 - Rage Bait

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/12/06

This episode goes fully off-script. Magnus rage baits Ralph by appearing in Uganda with no warning, Ralph insists his rep counting was correct (it wasn’t), and Tim posts a respectable 10K and pretends it’s no big deal. Somewhere between Squadrats, gold-labelled races, wolves, lap-button etiquette and arguing about numbers, we completely lose control of the episode.

00:53:09

#67 – We’ve Lost Count Again

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/11/18

Episode 67 arrives with peak winter energy: low motivation, high confusion, and plenty of unnecessary opinions. Rep counts are getting out of hand, Magnus has downloaded yet another pointless app, Ralph is still recovering from the abuse he took last episode while Tim struggles with old man injuries and heavy leaves..We catch up on the chaos, question our own training choices, give interior design tips, and pretend we know what we’re doing as the dark months settle in.

00:38:23

#66 – The Rep Count Conspiracy

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/11/04

The boys gang up on Ralph for running a ridiculous number of reps — 18 this time — of his favourite session. Somehow it’s totally fine for Tim to have 35 seconds of recovery though, because that’s “normal”. Magnus escapes any training-based abuse after (once again) deleting Strava right after maybe winning the October mileage challenge.We get nostalgic for old-school orienteering: where are the results boards and hand-drawn courses? Has the march of technology destroyed the sacred art of comparing

#65 - Yapa Yapa Yapa

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/10/24

Closing out the international orienteering year with an episode filled with just pure yappage.Tim has been at 25manna, but can't remember which teams got disqualified. Magnus has made a comeback on Strava topping the leaderboards. Where has this sudden burst of motivation come from and will Garmin vs Strava cause problems? Ralph brings old man energy as usual as he complains about even more things.Also in the episode, the usual apology section, Ralph presents the UK, JEC results, and we clear up

#64 – World Cup Final 2025: The Season Ends, the...

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/10/05

World Cup Final in Uster — the last big showdown of the season. Ralph pulls off a 360 but fails the 90, Tim somehow beats us both, and Magnus keeps searching for that elusive breakthrough. We dig into the chaos of KO indoor sprints, from barrier controversies to whhether the format is even a good idea.

00:45:55

#63 - 6cm is very long

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/09/25

In this episode, the boys are preparing for the final round of the World Cup in Uster, Switzerland. Tim is on a romantic training camp in Italy — but what long object did Wife Emma pull out of his body? Magnus has been forest orienteering with an added challenge, and Ralph is spoiling for a fight with the Swiss team.

#62 - EOC: Tim is looking for another woman

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/09/07

This episode is all about debriefing the Sprint European Championships in Belgium. From the chaos of a 50% disqualification rate in the sprint relay to the all-important question of who could actually beat Natalia Gemperle in an arm wrestle, we’ve got it covered.We also dive into our own EOC experiences: Tim didn’t even make it to all the start lines, Magnus collected more “thanks for coming” treatment in the qualifiers, and Ralph… well, Ralph couldn’t stop ranting about perceived injustices.

00:45:03

#61 – Why Sprint Orienteering Will Ruin Your Life

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/08/26

The boys are back with a deep dive into the one discipline that ruins friendships and makes grown men cry: sprint orienteering. With EOC 2025 in Belgium fast approaching, we bravely attempt to sound like we know what we’re talking about when it comes to sprint technique. Naturally, it all goes downhill into a full-blown apology section (again).

#60 - In memory of Mattia Debertolis

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/08/21

This is a different episode from the usual because of the tragic events at the World Games where the Italian athlete Mattia Debertolis lost his life

#59 – The Denmark Apartment Tapes (Leaked)

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/08/09

Two weeks ago, all three of us were in the same room in Denmark, talking O-Ringen, the World Games, and the end of sprint camp. We recorded gold. Pure, unfiltered podcast magic.Then we… didn’t release it.Now Tim’s missing, Magnus and Ralph are winging it with a half-baked recap of Belgium’s EOC test races before awkwardly tacking on that “lost” episode at the end.Think of it as time-travel podcasting — if time-travel also involved bad editing and questionable life choices.

00:59:08

#58 - WOC You Looking At?

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/07/25

The boys are back for a (late) post-WOC debrief and other shenanigans. Crashing Magnus´ parents house and recording together in person for the first time went just as well as you’d expect, with Magnus deleting 2 hours of recording. More apologies are made before diving into all the drama from the WOC middle, long, and relay.We discuss the promotion/relegation, and Tim celebrates his forest PB. Statman Ralph fires off some WOC facts. Plus, a quick look at EYOC – who shined in the long, sprint, and

#57 - From Italy to Finland: Unpacking JWOC and...

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/07/07

As the boys are scattered across three time zones, it's a miracle this episode even got made. Magnus wins the Danish KO Champs (possibly after visiting the embargo?), Ralph defends his 17:30 5km, and Tim fears his WOC races will end up on @orienteeringmistakes.With a hectic summer race schedule, we try to unpack the chaos of JWOC—just wrapped up in Italy—while also looking ahead to WOC, which starts tomorrow. It’s been thrilling to follow the rise of future orienteering stars, and now we turn

#56 - World Cup Idre: Fjäll Fever

Orienteer Pod ·

2025/06/27

We wrap up the first World Cup round of the season with shouting Swedes, a synced relay, and lots of mistakes. Ralph watched from home and Magnus and Tim give their first hand experiences.Then it’s all eyes on Italy: JWOC kicks off! Also in this episode: memes, map nerdery, and a lot of apologies.
