Ep 199 - Rob Koehler, ex-WADA deputy director general on doping
Send us a textWow, we’ve got a treat of an episode for you. For many months, Jody and David have time and again brought up the issue of doping as the subject seems to permeate every discussion of athletic achievement. Now, to separate fact from fiction, the chaps speak to former World Anti-Doping Association deputy director general Rob Koehler who offers an inside look at the issues at hand and the state of athletics today. He also explains why he feels ALL Russian athletes should be banned at the Olympics. This really is an eye-opener and worth a listen. Rob also discusses his new role as head of Global Athlete, an athletes advocacy group with the power to stand up to brands and associations where power is entrenched (you won’t believe how bad this is until you hear his examples of this happening!). Plus there’s some gibberish from the guys before the interview gets started. Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.

Ep 192 - Allie talks the Scottish all-female team adventure and Piece of String race
Send us a textIn this episode, Allie talks about her race experience leading an all-female running squad across Scotland from Fort William to Inverness. Ali reveals the thinking behind putting together this group and the opportunity it gave to have a completely different race experience for the women involved. As per Allie, it was an epic event and one of the big things from this chat with David is she reveals the difference between running in a mixed race. Those differences were starkly exposed when Allie talks about her Piece of String race experience. The Piece of String race is more of a mental as well as physical challenge with the competitors unaware of total race distance which is kept secret by Centurion. Eye-opening! Plus all the usual rubbish from Jody and David before and after. :) Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.

Ep 191 - Hacking the runner's brain with ultrarunner agent Mark Mastalir
Send us a textMark Mastalir is interesting is so many ways.He has an impressive background as a runner. In 1992 he was an All-American at Stanford in the 1500 metres, has a 3:58 mile under his belt and competed in the 1992 Olympic Trials.But that's not why he's on the podcast. As Chief Marketing Officer at Halo Neuroscience, he's involved with a company that promises an improvement in performance through its neuroscience technology that connects brain and body. Not only that, Mark is (we reckon) the only dedicated sports agent for ultrarunner athletes, representing some of the biggest ultra talent in the world. David and Jody get the lowdown on both.Enjoy!If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.Join the conversation!
