About this listen

This podcast is all about getting sport science research out into the public domain. We cover what we do and don't know regarding all topics related to endurance running performance and, more importantly, how can we use this information to make ourselves healthier and faster runners! Your hosts are Dr Dan Osborn-Nash, 2:12 marathon runner and sport physiologist for Welsh Athletics and Welsh Triathlon, and Owain Zerilli, MSc student exploring the effects of heat on EPO release and 2:38 marathon runnerDan Nash and Owain Zerilli Running & Jogging

  • So, you've just run a marathon...
    Apr 22 2026

    Dan & Owain round off the marathon series, with a discussion about the stress and strain your body has just been put through over the course of 26.2 miles!

    There's a lot to recover from post-marathon, some of which is obvious, and some of which is a lot more nuanced and less understood. They then talk about their approaches to returning to run after a marathon, or other big races!
