| 0:00.0 | This ad is for anyone who hates running in the winter when it's cold and rainy and dark and muddy and leafy and slippery. So you? Me. Yeah, this episode is sponsored by the Wahoo Kicka Run. That's what Sarah's banging on about here. We've used the Wahoo Kicka Run for multiple challenges. You, Mark and Jess tried to take me on head to head on a side-by-side kick a run where you and were running in a |
| 0:21.3 | relay to take me on over 10K. We did. There was no way to prove it, but I think you cheated because we |
| 0:26.4 | lost and I'm not quite sure how that happened. But actually recently, you've also been using it |
| 0:30.3 | as a training tool for Valencia Marathon and that's made a huge difference, isn't it? |
| 0:34.6 | Yeah, and doing all of that, it simulates running outside. So you're simulating the terrain, you can take a real route and it will go up and down that you don't have to manually control it. It also has dynamic pacing, which is called run free mode. So by getting slightly closer to the front of the treadmill, it speeds up and getting slightly closer to the back, it slows down. So you don't have to touch any buttons if you don't want to. So cool if you're doing an interval session, strides, or you just really want to test yourself at how good you are at keeping a steady pace. So if you want to check out the Wahoo Kick-A-Run, head to the link in the show notes. This episode is sponsored by Science in Sport. Did you know that Science and Sport was the first major brand to create isotonic gels? I did not. Yeah, they've invested millions in scientific research. |
| 1:11.8 | And actually that's who I'm using. I'm using science in sports, beta fuel gels with electrolytes |
| 1:16.4 | for my marathon training and for my marathon in Valencia. They've got great flavors. They're not |
| 1:21.2 | too sticky. They don't upset my stomach. Yeah, tried and tested by you, but also tried and |
| 1:27.4 | tested themselves because so much research has gone into it. Yeah, real and tested by you, but also tried and tested themselves because so much |
| 1:29.0 | research has gone into it. Yeah, real bona fide scientists and nutritionists working in their |
| 1:32.8 | place. We know. I've actually been to look at the production line and seen behind the scenes, |
| 1:37.1 | which is really cool, so I've been able to geek out there. And then they still supply Team GP, |
| 1:41.8 | Premier League clubs and teams across the MLS, NBA, NFL, so over 300 |
| 1:45.8 | pro teams and athletes. |
