Podcast 005 – Dr. Trent Stellingwerff interview

Posted on January 12, 2012 by CoachJay

If you run the marathon then this podcast is a must listen. Dr. Trent Stellingwerff works for the Canadian Sport Centre – Pacific and advises not only runners, but triathletes and rowers as well. He has worked with the Speed River Track and Field Club, specifically 2:10 marathoner Reed Coolsaet. A former 1:53 high school 800m runner, he is married to 4:05 1,500m runner Hillary Stellingwerff, so he knows a thing or two about middle distance running as well.

While we talk about various aspects of training and exercise physiology, no doubt anyone who wants to run the marathon well will want to listen to his suggestions on fueling for the marathon event.

Thanks for the interview Trent and no doubt we’ll have some questions from the readership…so maybe we’ll have to do another interview in the future?

As always, you can download this podcast (or subscribe) via iTunes.

    Jay — quick suggestion. When people talk about their running in HS and then college, you could ask them what they wish they had known back then. Would be interesting to hear, IMHO.

    Great idea – I will add it in future podcasts.  Thanks Matt.

    Another terrific interview Coach – I couldn’t help but write another summary on my blog, mostly so I could capture the key points for future reference.  Your podcast is quickly becoming a must-listen show, looking forward to the next one.

    Really appreciate the thoughtful synopsis of the podcast.  Definitely helpful to have the numbers written out regarding the ratios in the the bottles.

    Best of luck with your own training Greg.

    Thanks Jay – by the way, just started implementing the cannonball routine into my cool-down – a nice step up from myrtl.  Like having both in the repertoire for a little variety.
