Welcome to episode 262 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We’ve got a fun show for everyone this week! Given that it’s the off-season and good time to recharge the batteries, try new things, and get ready for “THE YEAR OF SWIMRUN” we thought it would be cool to invite Austin-locals and Swimrunners James English and Braden Bell to the show to talk about the relatively new training program called Deep End Fitness. Don’t know what we’re talking about but looking for a new training modality to try out? Well you’re about to get your mind blown!

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 261 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

Welcome to year 5 of the show! To kick things off for what we are already calling “THE YEAR OF SWIMRUN” we are joined by the queen of the sport herself, the incomparable Desirée Andersson. In this conversation we chatted about her 2024 season, how her training has evolved over the years, and what the future holds. She’s literally the best and we can’t think of a better way to kick off the year than having been bestowed the honor of an audience with The Queen.

Enjoy!

Episode 255 | The State of the Sport of Swimrun on Planet Earth w/Dave Dammer

Welcome to episode 255 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We’ve got a great show for everyone this week. We also seem to have backed ourselves into a theme this month but we’re going to roll with it. Joining us to talk about the state of the sport of Swimrun on Planet Earth is our Super Intern in Charge of Special Projects, Dave Dammer. We do a deep dive into his research and findings about the number and breadth of Swimrun events in existence. This was a great conversation and you can find the spreadsheet with all the data on our website.

Enjoy!
