Proud and honored guesthost at Endurance Planet podcast
I remember doing a google search on the topic of fat oxidation for endurance athletes and found an episode on nutrition at Endurance Planet. I started following the podcast and soon found that the best company for my long runs was to listen to Lucho and Tawnee on the fortnightly episodes of ask the coaches.
This was five years ago and they have become my online audible friends! I also contacted Lucho to ask him to coach me when I decided to focus on 100 miles after my second 100-mile race. I did however fall pregnant just about that time and the coaching ended but I kept emailing him regularly with updates and they also gave a shout out to my little girl on the show when she was born.
I often play the game of trying to guess what Lucho’s answer will be to questions during the show and over the years have come to both adopt and understand his reasoning.
And with nearly 18 years of coaching both endurance and nutrition I felt comfortable in volontering myself as a guest host- Actually when Tawnee said she was having a break I stopped mid-jog and emailed them straight away and said I’d love to be on!
Endurance Planet is possible the worlds best podcast on the topic of ultrarunning and triathlon so it is such an honor to have been on it. Than you for listening and good luck with your adventures! I hope to chat with you again some day!
For my Swedish readers- det här är så stort för mig! Det har varit helt galet att få feedback från lyssnare både i Australien och USA. Lucho är en av mina förebilder och att få sitta och prata med honom och bolla frågor från lyssnare och skoja- jag har aldrig skrattat så mycket under en poddinspelning, glädjen hörs!

Very good episode! As for the question about being stuck at a plateau I’d like to bring up an alternative something Phil Maffetone himself mentioned last year (in just one episode) that he and some of his clients were experimenting with. A seven second slow surge during MAF. The idea (assuming I understood it correctly) is that if you increase speed with only about 5% you have approx a 7 second window before the central governor picks up on it. Hence you can do a 7 seven second ”slow surge” before the heart rate goes up – and if you cap the surge at the right moment the heart rate won’t go up at all. And then you can repeat it again after a few minutes. Seven seconds make for about 10 steps (20 if you count both feet) and those 5% comes easy by just focusing hard on technique for those 10 steps. I was at a plateau myself when I heard that episode and have been trying it during the winter. Last month I broke my 15K terrain PB with 2 minutes, and I did so with a an average heart rate clearly lower than what I had during my old PB. 🙂
