In this episode we review some world records, look at another scathing doping survey and check in on Amsterdam marathon results - including looking at why cyclists struggle to convert to runners. We then chat about 2026 plans for both Athlos and the T100 as well as looking at an interesting article about US colleges recruiting Kenyan runners. We also chat to Eloise du Luart about her experiences with heat training and look at the UCI press release about ketone use.
