Welcome to episode 245 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Weâve got a great one for all you gear heads out there. Gear Talk is back with our good friend, Anne Molsberry, to discuss an issue (and solution) that effects a lot of Swimrunners: the need to wear earplugs while swimming. We delve into the issue and share the solution (Surf Ears) that we have found that worked best.
Enjoy!

Shoutout/Feats of Endurance
This week we are doing a combo to highlight everyone that raced Rockman over the weekend. Once again this epic race didnât disappoint.

Shoutout
Before we get into the conversation, we wanted to shoutout and share our heartfelt congratulations to Nicholas and Amy Abraham for launching the new EX Swimrun and Fun Podcast! This is the first Swedish Swimrun podcast since Swimrun Podden stopped airing episodes back in 2019 and honestly we canât think of a better duo to share the love of the sport than Nicholas and Amy.

This weekâs winner really puts the âfeatâ in feats of Endurance. Our friend, fellow Novatoan, Swimrunner, and trail runner extraordinaire Sarah Fergot finally finished the Tahoe 200 trail race after DNFâs on two previous attempts. 200 miles is a long distance to drive, let alone run.

Training Update
Itâs race week for us! Weâre stoked to be racing Quest Racingâs Bellingham Swimrun this weekend. (Registration is still open so if youâre waiting until the last minute, now is your time to shine.) Itâs been an interesting training cycle since Chipper started a new job that requires him to go into âan officeâ a few days a week and we havenât done our usual training together for our key (read: hard) sessions. We also have different coaches for the first time in a long time. Despite all that, stoke level is sky high!

Luckily, Mr. Low Tide Boy 2020 himself was able to join us (for the 5th time) and he walked/Swimran us through the Whistler course and gave us a great update on the changes from our previous course preview episode with Dale Tiessen. It was so helpful to have literally the most experienced Swimrunner in America share his tips for approaching the course and what his gear considerations for the event. As we said at the opening, get your notepad out for this one.

Welcome to episode 229 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Weâve got a brand new show format for everyone this week. This âYet To Be Named Show Formatâ is definitely not going to be called âCoaches Cornerâ but definitely features our first guest, Coach Liz Gilden. Sheâs a former pro triathlete, a fellow Swimrun kool-aid drinker and half of Team #batmansparents, the official meteorologist of The Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast, and endurance coach. In this show we pepper her with all the coaching questions that people send us.
Want to help us name this show format? DM us your ideas and youâre the winner, we send you an official LTBz drip package with shirt, hat, and other stuff.
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 228 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Weâve got a new addition to our Swimrun 101 Series this week. In this episode we discuss the state of the Swimrun shoe in 2024, share our thoughts in choosing the right Swimrun shoe for your next race, and give our rankings on the current shoes that are out there.
Note, you can watch this episode on YouTube.
First, The State of the Swimrun Shoe in 2024
Lots of great optionsâŠprobably starting with what you already haveWhile most trail run shoes will work, there are some specific features that make a shoe better or worse for Swimrun that we will be discussing laterWe wish there were more specific Swimrun shoes but here we are.Second, Things to Consider for Choosing a Shoe For your next Swimrun
Start with a trail shoe since most swimruns take place on trails so youâll want something with lugs on the soleLook for uppers that will drain wellDo the bucket testBonus tip: Pair your shoe with thin/moisture wicking socks to prevent blisters/chaffing/hot spots/etc. We like Swiftwick & CEPNext, itâs time for some shoe show and tell
