Welcome to episode 231 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Weâve got a great one for everyone this week. Joining us to talk about their experience on the ĂTILLĂ Whistler course are Lars Finanger and Marcus Barton. They recently went up to scope out the course (and make some changes) and we brought them on to share all the fresh intel with all of you. Get your notepads out for this one.
Note: that you can now watch the show on Youtube, if youâre so inclined.
But firstâŠ
Training Update
Itâs race week for us! Weâre stoked to be racing Quest Racingâs Bellingham Swimrun this weekend. (Registration is still open so if youâre waiting until the last minute, now is your time to shine.) Itâs been an interesting training cycle since Chipper started a new job that requires him to go into âan officeâ a few days a week and we havenât done our usual training together for our key (read: hard) sessions. We also have different coaches for the first time in a long time. Despite all that, stoke level is sky high!
Shoutout
Our shoutout this week goes out to all of our supporters on Patreon. We are super grateful for your support and hope to see you out at the races soon!
Feats of Endurance
This weekâs award goes to everyone that raced Swimrun Portugalâs Swimrun TĂąmega and We Swimrunâs Tal-Y-Llyn Swimrun. Both events looked amazing.

ĂTILLĂ Whistler Update with Marcus and Lars
It was great to have Marcus and Lars back on the show. Lars had some technical difficulties so we got a recording from him with his intel for the race. (INSERT VIDEO CLIP HERE)
Luckily, Mr. Low Tide Boy 2020 himself was able to join us (for the 5th time) and he walked/Swimran us through the Whistler course and gave us a great update on the changes from our previous course preview episode with Dale Tiessen. It was so helpful to have literally the most experienced Swimrunner in America share his tips for approaching the course and what his gear considerations for the event. As we said at the opening, get your notepad out for this one.
Enjoy!

Gear Talk is back! In this episode we do a deep dive into the FORM Smart Swim 1 and 2 Goggles. FORM was cool enough to support the show last month and send us pairs of their new Smart Swim 2 goggles. Since we had already purchased the Smart Swim 1 goggles we sent a pair up to Annie for her to test in âthe lab.â We break down this amazing piece of training (and racing) tech and share our pull buoy rankings.
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 228 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Weâve got a new addition to our Swimrun 101 Series this week. In this episode we discuss the state of the Swimrun shoe in 2024, share our thoughts in choosing the right Swimrun shoe for your next race, and give our rankings on the current shoes that are out there.
Note, you can watch this episode on YouTube.
First, The State of the Swimrun Shoe in 2024
Lots of great optionsâŠprobably starting with what you already haveWhile most trail run shoes will work, there are some specific features that make a shoe better or worse for Swimrun that we will be discussing laterWe wish there were more specific Swimrun shoes but here we are.Second, Things to Consider for Choosing a Shoe For your next Swimrun
Start with a trail shoe since most swimruns take place on trails so youâll want something with lugs on the soleLook for uppers that will drain wellDo the bucket testBonus tip: Pair your shoe with thin/moisture wicking socks to prevent blisters/chaffing/hot spots/etc. We like Swiftwick & CEPNext, itâs time for some shoe show and tell

Welcome to episode 227 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Weâre stoked to welcome back to show our friend and legendary adventure racer Rob Preston. His team is gearing up to defend their One Water Race title and we checked with him on what itâs like to race a Swimrun that only takes a few hours, what itâs like to swim 70kms, and other such mind blowing topics.
But firstâŠ
Training Update
Training is underway for ĂTILLĂ Whistler. We did our first Swimrun of the year over the weekend and it was cool to have Team TBD and Hunter come out to join us. Bonus shoutout for Addison making an appearance after racing the Miwok 100K the day before.
Shoutout
This week weâre shouting out former guest of the show Anna Lundberg. She showed true Swimrun spirit when a listener reached out asking us to connect her to Anna to get advice on how to deal with injury after listening to our interview with her. Swimrunners help Swimrunners and Anna was more than happy to help.
Feats of Endurance
This weekâs winner is long time friend of the show and Patreon supporter Carolyn B. for getting a PR at the Toronto Half Marathon over the weekend. Sheâs been getting back into running after some time off and was putting in the work all Spring to get ready. Strong work!

Rob Preston, One Water Race Champion and Bluey Watcher
It was great to catch up with Rob. We asked the hard hitting questions, such as, does he watch Bluey? What are âsleep monsters?â Oh, and what itâs like to win the One Water Race, a.k.a., the Ultimate Proof of Human Capacity, in 2023. Rob is great and we loved this conversation and know that you will too.

Welcome to episode 224 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
We've got a great course preview for everyone this week. Joining us from Cape Cod to talk about Swimrun Cape Cod are New England Endurance Events Race Directors Kathleen Wheeler and Andy Scherding. This event is taking place on Sept. 21st in Wellfleet, Massachusetts and itâs going to be awesome! You donât have to take our word for it, just listen to our conversation with Kathleen and Andy later in the show!
Special welcome for anyone that is new to the show and the sport of Swimrun. We think that weâll have a bunch of folks that will be registered for Swimrun Cape Cod so we wanted to encourage everyone to head over to our website where we have a ton of resources to help new Swimrunners get to the start line feeling prepared and stoked for the adventure. You can also DM or email us anytime with your questions.
But firstâŠ
This episode is brought to you by our friends at FORM Swim. They recently released their new Smart Swim 2 goggles and these things are a game changer!
Training Update
Training for ĂTILLĂ Whistler has begun. Weâre about 100 days out from the big day and stoke levels are reasonably high already! Lots of swimming and running in various permutations over the next few months. #LFG
Shoutout/Feats of Endurance Combo
Weâre doing a combo shoutout this week to all of our Swimrun and Swimrun-adjacent friends who ran the 128th Edition of the Boston Marathon this past Monday. We might have missed some of you but big shoutouts to Sarah Monk, Keith Lindquist, Kanoa King, Phil Saenkov, Lily Kriv, and Danny âDa Monstaâ Divinov. Bit blanket shoutout to everyone else that towed the line.
Make sure to sign up for our LTBz Strava Club and join Swimrunners from around the world as they train for stuff.
Show Business
Weâre going to be doing an AMA-style show in the next few weeks so DM/email/messenger pigeon us with all your burning Swimrun questions. If we donât know the answer, donât worry because we probably know who does.
Swimrun Cape Cod
It was great to chat with Kathleen and Andy. We have been in contact with them since they announced the race last year and I was literally in Boston last year the day before what was supposed to have been the inaugural edition of the race when it was canceled because of BLEEPING Hurricane Lee. (Rest assured that Andy and Kathleen had insured the race so every participant that wanted one, got full reimbursement of the registration fee.) That did not deter them from keeping it on their robust race calendar and, at time of this podcastâs release, have virtually sold out both distance offerings. In this conversation we get the entire story of how a Swimrun race was born and the labor of love that it took to create an event that is at once uniquely New England and very much a Swimrunners dream course.
Registration might be sold out but if not, we highly encourage you to not wait and sign up for Swimrun Cape Cod.
And as a bonus, the race was recently featured in Outside Magazine. Check it out!
Enjoy!

(Check out Episode 56 of the show to learn why they are awesome) We love everything that they are doing to help grow the sport in the U.K. and they recently announced a new event that we think is more than worthy for a shoutout. They are hosting a Training and Kit Testing day that is open to everyone with a bunch of experienced Swimrunners on hard to help lower the barrier to entry for the sport that we all know and love. The event is on June 1st at Sibson Lake in Stibbington. Go to their website to learn more!

Welcome to episode 222 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Weâre super stoked for this weekâs episode for a couple of reasons. First, we survived April Foolâs Day. Second, FORM Swim is sponsoring the show all month long. And last, but not least, we have 3x Olympian and Head of Coaching Science at FORM Swim, Brian Johns on the show this week to talk about all about the Smart Goggle.
But firstâŠ
This episode is sponsored by FORM Swim. Smart Swim 2 google features AR goggle based display that can show 9 real-time metrics including Pace, Stroke Rate, Stroke Count, Distance Per Stroke (DPS), Splits, Time, Distance, Calories, and Heart Rate
â Directional headings in open-water
â HeadCoach Metrics, including head pitch, head roll, time to neutral, interval and set
pacing.
Training Update
April 15th is the totally arbitrary day that we will begin training for ĂTILLĂ Whistler. Almost time to start busting the Swimrun rust! Almost.
Shoutout
This weekâs shoutout goes to Gerry Rodrigues of Tower26. He introduced us to the Smart Goggles way back in Episode 203 and, since whenever Gerry makes a recommendation we listen, we got them for our pool swimming. The rest is history!
Feats of Endurance
This weekâs award goes to friend of the show (and friend of Aquatic Park in San Francisco) Erika G. She recently swam from Candlestick to Aquatic Park. A cool 9ish mile swim (16,000yds) in an even cooler 2 hours and 25ish minutes. A worthy feat indeed!

Show Business
Swimrun season is almost here! Itâs a good time to check in on your gear and replenish anything that might need replacement or upgraded. A good place to start is the Swimrun Swap Meet! Check it out on Facebook and buy/sell/trade your Swimrun gear.
Brian Johns, Head of Coaching Science at FORM SWIM
It was great to chat with Brian. As we mention in the interview, weâve been using the Smart Swim goggles for a couple of months so it was great to get the inside story of FORM Swim, the cool tech of their goggles and learn about Brianâs role as Head of Coaching Science. So much good stuff!
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 221 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Weâve got a great âfeel goodâ episode for everyone this week. Joining us from Stockholm is our friend Henrik Forssell, a.k.a., The Swimrun Pappa. It was great to have him on the podcast to chat about all things Swimrun and his remarkable Swimrun streak.
But firstâŠ
Training Update
Training for ĂTILLĂ Whistler will begin in earnest in about a month but until then weâre swimming, running, and hitting the gym in regular intervals.
Shoutout
This weekâs shout out goes out to our friend Hugh Bowman. Weâve got a dope carbon fiber paddle episode and heâs âa bit obsessedâ with this particular piece of Swimrun kit and has been testing all the paddles on the market and weâre bringing him on for his special report! Stay tuned for that.
Feats of Endurance
This weekâs winner is not in our Strava Club (yet?) but her accomplishment is more than worthy of mentioning. On Friday, March 22, Jasmin Paris, the 40-year-old British runner finished the Barkley Marathon, a grueling 100 mile race (with over 60,000â of climbing) with only 90 seconds to spare within the 60-hour time limit. She became the first female to ever finish this diabolical race. For those who arenât familiar with this race, only 21 people have ever finished the race in its 38-year history.

Shoutout
This weekâs shoutout goes out to our friend (and Swimrun.com Editor) Fred Newton. He recently made his engagement IG official and we wanted to share our congratulations on behalf of our corner of the internet.
Feats of Endurance
This weekâs winner is our friend Will Ramsey. He ran the Terrapin Mountain 50km over the weekend and was certainly more of a hare than a tortoise on the day. 7,000â of climbing over 31 miles is no joke though so major kudos on that Will!

Welcome to episode 213 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
In this episode we are kicking off our fourth annual Partners Month where we feature one of our favorite parts of Swimrun: the partner aspect. Kicking things off this year is the father and son duo of Team Feel The Byrn, A.K.A. Axel and Gordo Byrn. If the name Gordo sounds familiar, well it should! We spoke with Gordo back in Episode 138 and he is a wealth of knowledge on all things endurance trainingâŠand parenting. This was an awesome conversation and we can wait to share it with all of you.
But firstâŠ
Brief History of LTBzâs Partners Month
In early 2021, we were sitting in Studio G talking about content when one of us came up with the idea to feature partners for Valentineâs Day. One thing led to another and Partners Month was born. (Friendly reminder: if youâre a solo Swimrunner, thatâs cool too!)
In that first year, we featured Team Max Mockermann, The Adorkables, The Monks, and did a Swimrun 201 show on Team Tactics.
In 2022, we featured Team Mr. and Mrs. B, The Kancho Boyz, a Swimrun 101 show on Partners (Redux), and our most downloaded show ever, Team Kraken Swimrun.
Last year we interviewed Team Strömgren, Team Monkey Sea Monkey Run, Team Landshark, and shared a masterclass on effective teamwork with Brad Stulberg.
This year we have a bunch of great interviews lined up to get you in the spirit for another great year of Swimrunning!
Shoutout
Our shoutout this week goes to our newest Patron on Patreon, James N. Thank you so much for your support and we look forward to seeing you at the races!
Feats of Endurance
This weekâs award goes to our friend Lucas Desmond. He completed his first World Loppet at the Marcialonga 51 over the weekend. Have no idea what we are talking about? Marcialonga is 70km cross country ski race in Moena Italy. According to Lucas, the race was amazing and the aid stations were the best heâd ever seen!

Show Business
Well itâs not really show businessâŠbut it is! Swimrun Christmas is on Friday, February 2nd. Best of luck to everyone vying for a spot at the 2024 ĂTILLĂ, The Swimrun World Championship.
Team Feel The Byrn
It was so great to kick off Partners Month with Axel and Gordo. In this conversation we talked about their race resume, how they train for Swimrun, got a steady stream of knowledge bombs on how to raise an active family, and so much more. Weâve made it no secret that a dream of ours is to someday do a Swimrun with our kids and Gordo shared a roadmap that we will certainly follow.
Enjoy!
