48. The Summer Update

In this episode, we’re catching up on the past couple of weeks—which have been packed with training and exciting events for both of us. Victor visited ON’s headquarters in Zurich and got a firsthand look at their innovative Light Spray process. Meanwhile, Andreas has been up in Åre training hard, and things might finally be turning a corner.

We’ll be taking a short break for vacation, but don’t worry—we’ll be back in full force in early August. Good Stuff ahead!

47. The Jordan Donnelly
Diamond League came to Stockholm and so did Jordan Donnelly which gave us an opportunity to get him into the recording booth. With over 15 years of experience working with some of the top brands in the sport, his knowledge runs deep. We had a fantastic conversation covering everything from the evolution of super shoes and the creation of Usain Bolt’s spikes, to what it really means to be race-ready—and the emotional impact of a DNF. We also explored the value of a “tight but loose” mindset and the importance of training without carbon fiber to build true strength and resilience.

46. The Satisfy Pro Jakob Åberg

In episode 46, we're thrilled to welcome Jakob Åberg, Satisfy Pro Runner, to the studio. In 2023, Jakob won Kullamannen 100, putting a well-deserved spotlight on his name in the ultra community. 

Despite being based in Stockholm, Jakob consistently logs impressive weekly mileage and manages to rack up serious elevation gain—how does he do it? We talk about his training strategies, including why he stacks long sessions back-to-back, and how he maintains balance while managing such a high training volume.

Jakob also shares his thoughts on Strava, and gives us insight into how he became part of the Satisfy Pro team. All this and much more—enjoy the episode!

45. The Bicarb Bible, a hip update, the importance of rear delts and Victors current running and some Netflix's "must sees"

In this episode, Andreas shares an update on his running — and yes, believe it or not, it’s actually progressing. He also talks about his first impressions and experiences with David Grey’s “Hip Program.”

Victor’s fitness is on the rise — but the real question is: could he really run a 10K in 30:30 at any given time?

Special guest Robert Gorgos from MNSTRY Nutrition joins the show to talk about their brand-new Bicarb Gel, which just launched and sold out almost instantly. He shares valuable insights into how bicarbonate can be used to enhance performance and what to think about when creating your own protocol. 

To wrap things up, Andreas share some Netflix “must sees”.

44. Överträning och maraton med Daniel Pärmenäs (IN SWEDSIH)

Hey dear listeners! Just a quick note—this episode of Runners FM is in Swedish. Up until now, all our episodes have been in English, so we know this might come as a surprise. We truly appreciate all of you tuning in, and while some episodes will now be in Swedish, we’ll continue to release content in English as well. Since Swedish is our native language, we’re excited to share a bit more of ourselves this way. Thanks for being with us on this journey!


In this episode, we’re joined by our good friend and fellow runner, Daniel Pärmenäs. Over the past few years, Daniel has grown into a focused and formidable marathon runner—but like many athletes, his journey hasn’t been without its challenges.

We dive into his impressive 2:40 finish at the Berlin Marathon, a performance that—looking back—sparked an intense, and at times obsessive, relationship with training. This eventually led to a long period of forced rest due to overtraining, as Daniel worked to understand what was really happening with his body.

He shares his story with honesty and clarity, taking us through the highs and lows of recovery. We also hear Daniel’s vivid account of the Boston Marathon and his mindset as he prepares for the upcoming Stockholm Marathon.

Hey listeners! Just a quick note—this episode of Runners FM is in Swedish. Up until now, all our episodes have been in English, so we know this might come as a surprise. We truly appreciate all of you tuning in, and while some episodes will now be in Swedish, we’ll continue to release content in English as well. Since Swedish is our native language, we’re excited to share a bit more of ourselves this way. Thanks for being with us on this journey!


In this episode, newly crowned Swedish ultra distance champion Elov Olsson joins us in the studio!

We dive into his latest race, where he set a new Swedish record in the 24-hour ultra running discipline. This is a deep-dive race report covering everything from energy intake and ultra strategies to preparation, shoe choices, and mental endurance.

We also get into the gritty details—like why Elov chooses to pee himself during 100k races but not in 24-hour events. Is there a dark drive pushing him through these extreme efforts, or is it all just pure joy and passion for the sport?

All that and much more in this unfiltered, honest, and inspiring conversation.

31. The Good Stuff

Our favorite Dane, Mads Taersboel, joins us for a conversation covering a wide range of topics. Andreas has just completed his first LT1 session, and it’s clear that running plays a key role in his overall well-being. We dive into the ongoing debate about Bryan Johnson’s obsession with VO2 max and discuss why his olive oil doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.

Victor is gearing up for his major races, and we talk about how Mads is adjusting his training and managing the tapering process to avoid disrupting his homeostasis. We also explore the benefits of occasionally doing long training sessions, and what is the reason when Mads leaves the decision of one particularly long session each year in the hands of his girlfriend.
