In this episode of the Sweat Elite podcast, hosts Matt and Luke
discuss their recent training experiences and challenges with
audio quality due to being away from their regular setups. Luke
shares insights from his recent visit to Ireland, including an
impressive workout that suggests he's in excellent shape for the
upcoming Houston Half Marathon. They delve into the specifics of
his training, how he's handling the higher mileage, and
strategies for combating jet lag when traveling for races,
including the importance of adjusting to local time and running
soon after arrival. Matt also discusses his marathon plans for
2025, aiming to run one every month, and touches on a recent long
run that indicates promising fitness levels for Houston. The
episode wraps up with an invitation to join their Shareholder's
