Peter Dutton is one of the Run Culture Owl athletes I coach, we have worked together for the past 5 years!
The hidden advantage of doing a podcast with an athlete you have coached for that long is that you have an incredible audio time capsule to re-visit!
In fact, as I write this blurb I am re-listening to the very first podcast we did together (S1-Ep. 30 Feb 2020), it's quite an interesting process as a coach; he's definitely the same person but a little bit different...as am I!
It has been a year to the day since the last time Pete was on the podcast! So, please do yourself a favor and listen in to hear;
-How Pete's 3 month US trip went (he trained at Altitude in Boulder and Flagstaff!).
-Or how he salvaged, in his words; 'the track season from hell!' ....
-and how I have finally given him the green light to try to make the 2024 Melbourne Marathon start line!

🎙️🏃♂️ In today's episode of the Run Culture Podcast, I had an enlightening conversation with Dr. Phil Bellinger, a researcher and teacher from Griffith University in QLD, Australia. We delved into the fascinating world of muscle fiber phenotypes and how understanding them can revolutionize individualized training for athletes. 🏋️♀️⚡️
Dr. Bellinger shared insights from his groundbreaking study on 24 middle-distance runners, highlighting the diverse responses they had to overload training. He also revealed a non-invasive test he uses to accurately predict an athlete's muscle fiber phenotype. 🧪💪
We explored how athletes with different ratios of fast twitch, slow twitch, and hybrid fibers generally respond to training, debunking the assumption that coaches always get it right. Discover the adjustments you can make to training schedules to better cater to an athlete's specific phenotype. 📊🏃♀️
Ever wondered if fast twitch intermediate fibers can transform into more oxidative fibers over time? We tackled this question and discussed the types of training that encourage such adaptations. 💥🔋
Finally, we wrapped up by exploring the distinctions between acute fatigue, functional over-reaching, and non-functional over-reaching. It's crucial to understand these nuances to optimize training and prevent burnout. 💤🔄
Tune in to this episode to gain valuable insights into the science of muscle fiber phenotypes and how it can enhance athletic performance. 🎧🔬 #RunCulturePodcast #AthleteTraining #MuscleFiberPhenotypes -

Ok, I raced well or I raced poorly but what’s the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind this?? How good would it be if we could peak under the hood? This is exactly what Nick Jankovskis @nj_sportscience does for a living.
Nick is a Sports Scientist and endurance performance coach at METS Performance Consulting. A specialist in improving endurance performance by accurately analysing performance through physiological testing to prescribe individualised training to optimise athlete performance.He helps runners answer questions like:
How big is my engine? How efficient is my engine? Where could I improve? Is my current training efficient and aiding better performance? What training should I prioritise/maintain? Why should I train differently at times to my training partner?
Thanks for the ripping conversation Nick and I look forward to doing some testing with you for a few of the athletes I coach over the coming months (a repeat podcast discussing the results is a must!).
If other runners are also interested in doing some physiological testing with METS performance consulting be sure to check them out here: @metsperformance Welcome — METS Performance Consulting

On today's episode of the Run Culture podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Phil Batterson, the founder of Critical Oxygen. Dr. Batterson holds a PhD in human bioenergetics and is an avid endurance sports enthusiast himself. His passion lies in helping athletes and coaches optimize their physiology to enhance endurance performance. I've always wanted to delve into the scientific aspects of exercise physiology on the podcast, but I never felt qualified to do so. That's why it was fantastic to have Dr. Batterson join us today.During our conversation, Dr. Batterson provided a comprehensive understanding of the acute and chronic physiological processes that occur when we exercise. He explained how our bodies adapt to different types of training and highlighted the importance of testing and understanding our individualized training zones. This knowledge can greatly assist athletes in efficiently targeting specific adaptations to enhance their performance.

Today on the Run Culture Podcast I had the privilege to chat to Rene Wormhoudt, the Dutch national soccer team strength and conditioning coach and a physical therapist. Rene is also one of the founders of; ‘The Athletic Skill Model’, a model designed to create more ‘adaptive/creative/versatile athletes’. If you are a therapist, coach or athlete trying to improve performance, reduce injury or make training fun this is a great listen for you!
The idea that participating in seemingly unrelated sports can emergently help your target sport's co-ordinative abilities and versatility, is a complex concept to comprehend in our linear modern world dominated by reductionistic science. However, the athletics skill model and Rene Wormhoudt shed light on the immense benefits of incorporating such routines. Embracing variability in training can enhance coordination and unlock potential in various physical activities. #FarTransfer #CoordinativeAbilities
For those interested in finding out more about the #AthleticsSkillModel please go to: www.athleticskillsmodel.nl and/or purchase the book.

I first came across Callum Jones only recently when I was trying to find out more about the ‘Norwegian double threshold method’ and I came across his and Gavin Smith fantastic podcast called ‘Conversations About Running.’ Callum Jones is a competitive runner himself over 1500m to 10km and also a coach at; ‘Train Smarter, Run Faster’ with famed Kenyan Coach, Hugo Van den Broek (who he has studied extensively under). He’s also the head of marketing and a coach at ‘Running Trips’ a company that does training camps in Kenya. He has a girlfriend from Norway, so has spent a considerable amount of time in Norway trialing the Norwegian Double Threshold Method. He lives in Cornwall and runs for the Bristol track club. Last year, Callum travelled to Sierra Nevada and trained with the Norwegian Athletics Federation with athletes like, Simen Halle Haugen, Narve Gilje Nordas and Hendrik Ingebrigtsen. He’s a fantastic resource of running and coaching knowledge. It was fantastic talking to him today about the Norwegian double threshold method, and what training is like in Kenya, as well as his personal experiences with running himself. I hope you enjoy this chat, I certainly enjoyed hearing about how different cultures tend to train.

Attention all runners! Are you a runner that is purely performance orientated? Do you obsess over your GPS and strava data? Are you guilty of becoming a slave to your running program? Well, this episode is tailor-made for you.
Last week, I had the honor of engaging in an unforgettable conversation with Jozef Frucek, the brilliant mind behind Fighting Monkey. I must confess, this discussion stands among my all-time favorite podcast moments. Jozef's unique creative flair and his ability to seamlessly fuse the artistic side of sport captured my heart.
Throughout our dialogue, we delved deep into the challenges posed by modern Western culture, where money, efficiency, speed, numbers, measurement, and science tend to overshadow other aspects. While these factors may appear explicit and apparent, we should never overlook the immeasurable treasure of tacit knowledge.
Jozef possesses an astonishing talent for articulating the intangible, abstract elements of movement. He emphasizes the necessity of diversity, variability, intuition, improvisation, communication, embodiment, rhythm, coordination, and so much more. In a society fixated on data and disconnected from our innate knowledge, Jozef's insights are nothing short of invaluable.
So, whether you're eager to challenge the conventional training methods or simply curious about exploring movement in a holistic manner, this episode demands your attention. Join us now as we embark on a journey to deeply understand the profound impact Jozef Frucek and Fighting Monkey can have on your personal movement practice. Prepare yourself by lacing up your running shoes, grabbing your headphones, and diving into this transformative experience! 🏃♀️🎧🎙️ #RunCulturePodcast #FightingMonkey #MovementMatters #TacitKnowledge -
Today on the Run Culture podcast I chat to two of the Run Culture Owl athletes I coach, Bevan Does and Pete Dutton!
These two athletes have trained together all year! Their friendship and consequential growth has extended on and off the track!
Both started the year wanting to ‘try new things’ and they continue to stay true to this motto!
Thus, emerged the sub 70 project at the Gold Coast half marathon! A chance to independently travel and fend for themselves and explore!
This chat is about the build up, the race, the experience and what exciting new things lie a head!
Bevan and Pete will likely always remember the sub 70 project. Life is all about trying new things to better sculpt your sense of self and the life you’d love to lead. -
Today's podcast is a great lesson for any runner who has plateaued for a long time and feels like they never will improve again!
Up until 9 months ago John Dutton had not improved in the marathon for 10 years.
Last weekend John broke the 2:20 barrier at the 2023 Gold Coast marathon. This is his second PB in 9 months over the distance. John has now shaved a whopping 6 minutes off in 9 months!
We all have our barrier! Some kind of goal, that drives us and tantalises us, can we do it or is it a step out of reach?
I've known John personally for many years, we have run together and run against each other. We have spoken many times about breaking the illustrious 2:20 barrier in the marathon, this has been a barrier that John has dreamt about breaking for his whole running career.
John is a father of 2 boys, he is a full time plaster and has run more than 20 marathons or ultra marathons since 2005.
So, how has he done it? Well, listen in, as this conversation between two running mates, is full of wisdom! We hope the stories and learnings shared might help others learn faster than what we have!!!!
Thanks for giving me the privilege to share this fantastic marathon story on the Run Culture Podcast John!
