·1 hr 49 min·5 clips

John Kingstedt opens with haunting lyrics about being laughed at while running, hinting at deeper insecurities.

The episode begins with John Kingstedt reflecting on a 30km training run at 3:32/km average pace, comparing it to past performances from 2020 and 2021. Manne Forssberg discusses his training week, including a challenging treadmill session with John and a 33km point-to-point run with Andreas Almqvist. The hosts talk about running shoes, favoring Saucony models like the Hurricane and Speed for long distances. They review results from the Valencia Marathon, highlighting Swedish performances including Archie Castile's 2:10:05 and Alva Malmsteen Nilsson's 2:35:33 debut. The main segment features an interview with Carl Ottfalk, an 18-year-old elite runner, and Alvar Mühlback, an elite skier, who competed against each other as children in the Lidingöloppet. They discuss their training differences: Carl trains about 11 hours weekly with significant cross-training, while Alvar trains over 20 hours weekly. Both have measured VO2 max around 82. They talk about injury experiences, with Carl dealing with stress-related issues and Alvar having shoulder injuries from roller ski falls. The financial aspects differ, as Alvar can already support himself through skiing, while Carl would need world-class times like 12:45 for 5000m. The episode includes sponsor segments for Löplabbet, Saucony, and Flowlife's red light therapy panels. John shares his 'Ernst of the week' about incorporating strides into every run. The hosts promote their Patreon community and an upcoming running event in Stockholm on December 11th.
