In this episode of the Sweat Elite podcast, founder Matt Fox
discusses the launch of a new YouTube channel dedicated solely to
podcast content, separate from the main Sweat Elite channel. He
also shares exciting news about triathlete Alex Yee competing in
the London Marathon and analyzes public predictions for Yee's
performance time. Matt answers listener questions about his
running background and strategy, including his perspective on how
weight, mileage, and specific training blocks affect performance.
The episode also dives into topics such as the ethics of sports
sponsorship, the potential for increased training volume to push
marathon records, and the evolving landscape of running media and
content creation. Additionally, Matt provides insights on
upcoming races, notably the innovative 'Marathon Project,' and
offers practical workout recommendations for runners of various
distances.
