Daniel has a wealth of knowledge in this area and has collated an easy go-to guide for anyone looking to embark on this journey, or optimise their approach.They discuss the most important (yet often overlooked) aspects of the training campaign, how to fit in ‘shock’ weekends into the plan, how to strength train in a way that doesn’t further lead to fatigue, nutrition in the real world for ultra endurance athletes and appropriate timelines for training.Daniel is a trail and ultra-marathon runner from South Africa, living in Switzerland, and running in races all over the world.

Om Podcasten

Mikkipedia is an exploration in all things health, well being, fitness, food and nutrition. I sit down with scientists, doctors, professors, practitioners and people who have a wealth of experience and have a conversation that takes a deep dive into their area of expertise. I love translating science into a language that people understand, so while some of the conversations will be pretty in-depth, you will come away with some practical tips that can be instigated into your everyday life. I hope you enjoy the show!
