44. Överträning och maraton med Daniel Pärmenäs (IN SWEDSIH)

Wed, 28 May 2025 01:00:00 GMT

Hey dear listeners! Just a quick note—this episode of Runners FM is in Swedish. Up until now, all our episodes have been in English, so we know this might come as a surprise. We truly appreciate all of you tuning in, and while some episodes will now be in Swedish, we’ll continue to release content in English as well. Since Swedish is our native language, we’re excited to share a bit more of ourselves this way. Thanks for being with us on this journey!

In this episode, we’re joined by our good friend and fellow runner, Daniel Pärmenäs. Over the past few years, Daniel has grown into a focused and formidable marathon runner—but like many athletes, his journey hasn’t been without its challenges.

We dive into his impressive 2:40 finish at the Berlin Marathon, a performance that—looking back—sparked an intense, and at times obsessive, relationship with training. This eventually led to a long period of forced rest due to overtraining, as Daniel worked to understand what was really happening with his body.

He shares his story with honesty and clarity, taking us through the highs and lows of recovery. We also hear Daniel’s vivid account of the Boston Marathon and his mindset as he prepares for the upcoming Stockholm Marathon.

Wed, 21 May 2025 01:00:00 GMT

Hey listeners! Just a quick note—this episode of Runners FM is in Swedish. Up until now, all our episodes have been in English, so we know this might come as a surprise. We truly appreciate all of you tuning in, and while some episodes will now be in Swedish, we’ll continue to release content in English as well. Since Swedish is our native language, we’re excited to share a bit more of ourselves this way. Thanks for being with us on this journey!

In this episode, newly crowned Swedish ultra distance champion Elov Olsson joins us in the studio!

We dive into his latest race, where he set a new Swedish record in the 24-hour ultra running discipline. This is a deep-dive race report covering everything from energy intake and ultra strategies to preparation, shoe choices, and mental endurance.

We also get into the gritty details—like why Elov chooses to pee himself during 100k races but not in 24-hour events. Is there a dark drive pushing him through these extreme efforts, or is it all just pure joy and passion for the sport?

All that and much more in this unfiltered, honest, and inspiring conversation.
