    The Science Behind Getting Fitter & Faster: LT1, LT2 & Blood Lactate Explained | ft. Zander Mostert

    This week on the Easy Double Podcast we’re joined by coach and sports scientist Zander Mostert for one of our most educational episodes yet. We break down the science behind endurance performance and unpack the concepts runners hear all the time — but often don’t fully understand — including blood lactate, threshold training, LT1, LT2, Zone 2, aerobic development and how elite athletes actually use these metrics in training. Using Ryan’s recent lactate test as a real-world example, Zander explains: What lactate actually isThe difference between LT1 and LT2Why threshold training is so effectiveHow to know if your easy runs are truly easyCommon misconceptions around “zones” and heart rate trainingWhy most runners probably train too hard too oftenHow lactate testing can be used to individualise trainingThe relationship between volume, thresholds and race performanceWhether you’re chasing a marathon PB, trying to better understand your own training, or simply curious about the physiology behind endurance performance, this episode is packed with practical insight. We also discuss how elite runners structure threshold sessions, why building your aerobic system is so important, and how training should evolve depending on experience level and goals. Let us know what you think of this style of episode — and if there are any other deep-dive topics you’d like us to explore in future.

    Jonathan Gault: Inside the World of Elite Track & Field Journalism

    This week on the Easy Double Podcast, we’re joined by one of the most trusted and knowledgeable voices in global track & field — Jon Gault. Fresh off a huge weekend of marathon racing, we kick things off with a deep dive into the Boston Marathon — how the races unfolded, what stood out, and whether the outcomes matched expectations. We then look ahead to the London Marathon, breaking down the elite fields, predicting the winners, and asking who the top British performers might be on the day. We also get Jon’s perspective on what it’s like covering the sport at the highest level — from reporting on the biggest races in the world to navigating the ever-evolving landscape of athletics media. Naturally, that leads into a conversation around LetsRun, its reputation within the sport, and the balance between reporting, opinion, and controversy. There’s also a quick-fire round where we put Jon on the spot with everything from favourite meets and dream interviews to Brighton & Hove Albion allegiances and a few curveballs. If you’re into marathon racing, elite track & field, or just want a behind-the-scenes look at how the biggest stories in the sport are covered — this is a must-listen.

    Cole Gibbens: 2:16 debut / Building an online community / How much mileage is too much?

    In this episode of The Easy Double Podcast, we’re joined by Cole Gibbens for a deep dive into his journey through running, life, and content creation. We go back to where it all started, from his early years and influences to how his time at university shaped him into the athlete he is today. Cole opens up about his YouTube journey, the highs and lows of sharing everything online, and how running has impacted his mental health. We also get into his recent injury, how he’s dealing with it mentally, and what the road to recovery looks like. Plus, a look at how he balances training, work, and content — and how things have evolved along the way. A major highlight of the episode is his debut marathon at the London Marathon, where he ran an incredible 2:16:52.

    LONDON CALLING EP3: Ran To Japan, Jake Smith & Tim Vincent

    Jake Barraclough missed the start of this one… still sat in the sauna after getting caught out by daylight savings kicking in back in the UK but not in Japan 😅 Once we got him on (mid-sweat, still recovering), we got straight into a proper London Calling catch-up with 3 weeks to go. We unpacked Jake Smith’s recent half marathon block — from Bath to Berlin — including front-running battles, getting “sat on” for 10 miles, and what it’s like when it all blows apart in the final kilometre. Then contrasting that with Berlin, where it was a no-pressure, no-taper effort — racing in sunglasses, chatting mid-race, and running just seconds off peak shape at a much lower heart rate. The takeaway? Fitness is in a very good place at exactly the right time. Tim Vincent then looks ahead to his upcoming 10km in Lille — a late entry into a seriously stacked field. We get into why it matters, the mindset going into a race like that, and how it fits into a marathon build. There’s a really honest discussion around respecting the level, racing properly vs “fudging it”, and what a performance here could mean heading into London. Jake Barraclough brings the chaos — from sauna mishaps to a much more serious insight into the last few months. He opens up on dealing with a long-term back issue, running through pain, and ultimately having to step back and rebuild. There’s some really valuable perspective here on injury management, biomechanics, and how quickly things can shift when consistency is taken away. Elsewhere, we get into: Marathon month reality — 3 weeks to go and it starting to feel realLong runs together in London (and why Bushy/Richmond might be the best spots in the city)The mental shift from racing blocks → full marathon focusTaper nerves, start line anxiety, and just trying to get there healthyLondon is close now… and for all three, the paths there couldn’t look more different. We'll be back, the week of the race to capture the lads final thoughts and get into the race plans and stratergies!

    Andreas Almgren: Breaking European Records & Medalling on the World Stage

    We’re joined by one of the most versatile and dominant distance runners in the world right now — Sweden’s Andreas Almgren. A two-time European record holder (5000m – 12:44, Half Marathon – 58:41), former European 10km record holder (26:45 x2), 10-time national champion, and World Championship bronze medallist over 10,000m — Almgren has quietly built one of the most impressive CVs in global distance running. But what makes this episode so fascinating is how he’s done it. In this conversation, we go deep into: Transitioning from 1:45 800m runner → world-class 5k / 10k / half marathon athlete Breaking multiple European records across distances in a single season Winning a World Championship medal in Tokyo and handling the pressure on the biggest stage Training largely solo — and what that looks like day-to-day physically and mentally How he periodises training across events from 3k → half marathon Key sessions, lactate control, and what underpins his consistency We also explore the Swedish philosophy behind it all — from Fika and Lagom to a lifestyle built around balance, longevity, and performance. Plus: Shoe rotation (and any AlphaFly 4 insight 👀) Nutrition, recovery, and supplements (Nomio vs bicarb) Whether the marathon is on the horizon And the biggest mistakes he sees everyday runners making This is a masterclass in modern distance running — from one of the most intelligent and composed athletes in the sport.
