    The Ultimate Guide to Carbon Fiber Swim Paddles w/Hugh Bowman
    Apr 25 2024

    Welcome to episode 225 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

    We’ve got something for all you gear freaks out there this week! Joining us to have a deliciously niche chat about all things carbon fiber paddles is our friend and fellow obsessed Swimruner, Hugh Bowman. We’ve been fans of these paddles for years, talked about them incessantly, and in prep for this show, have pretty much tried all the paddles available now! So join us as we geek out on this particular piece of the Swimrun kit.

    But first…

    A huge thank you to our friends at FORM Swim for sponsoring the show this month! The sponsorship coincided with their recently released Smart Swim 2 goggles and it was so much fun to get to test these out and share our thoughts with all of you. We are doing a giveaway for a pair of the new Form Smart Swim 2 goggles. Head over to our instagram @theLowTideBoyz to enter to win!

    Swimrun Cape Cod Course Preview
    Apr 18 2024
    Welcome to episode 224 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!We've got a great course preview for everyone this week. Joining us from Cape Cod to talk about Swimrun Cape Cod are New England Endurance Events Race Directors Kathleen Wheeler and Andy Scherding. This event is taking place on Sept. 21st in Wellfleet, Massachusetts and it’s going to be awesome! You don’t have to take our word for it, just listen to our conversation with Kathleen and Andy later in the show!Special welcome for anyone that is new to the show and the sport of Swimrun. We think that we’ll have a bunch of folks that will be registered for Swimrun Cape Cod so we wanted to encourage everyone to head over to our website where we have a ton of resources to help new Swimrunners get to the start line feeling prepared and stoked for the adventure. You can also DM or email us anytime with your questions.But first…This episode is brought to you by our friends at FORM Swim. They recently released their new Smart Swim 2 goggles and these things are a game changer! Training UpdateTraining for ÖTILLÖ Whistler has begun. We’re about 100 days out from the big day and stoke levels are reasonably high already! Lots of swimming and running in various permutations over the next few months. #LFGShoutout/Feats of Endurance ComboWe’re doing a combo shoutout this week to all of our Swimrun and Swimrun-adjacent friends who ran the 128th Edition of the Boston Marathon this past Monday. We might have missed some of you but big shoutouts to Sarah Monk, Keith Lindquist, Kanoa King, Phil Saenkov, Lily Kriv, and Danny “Da Monsta” Divinov. Bit blanket shoutout to everyone else that towed the line.Make sure to sign up for our LTBz Strava Club and join Swimrunners from around the world as they train for stuff.Show BusinessWe’re going to be doing an AMA-style show in the next few weeks so DM/email/messenger pigeon us with all your burning Swimrun questions. If we don’t know the answer, don’t worry because we probably know who does.Swimrun Cape CodIt was great to chat with Kathleen and Andy. We have been in contact with them since they announced the race last year and I was literally in Boston last year the day before what was supposed to have been the inaugural edition of the race when it was canceled because of BLEEPING Hurricane Lee. (Rest assured that Andy and Kathleen had insured the race so every participant that wanted one, got full reimbursement of the registration fee.) That did not deter them from keeping it on their robust race calendar and, at time of this podcast’s release, have virtually sold out both distance offerings. In this conversation we get the entire story of how a Swimrun race was born and the labor of love that it took to create an event that is at once uniquely New England and very much a Swimrunners dream course.Registration might be sold out but if not, we highly encourage you to not wait and sign up for Swimrun Cape Cod.And as a bonus, the race was recently featured in Outside Magazine. Check it out!Enjoy!~~~That’s it for this week’s show.

    Apr 11 2024

    Welcome to episode 223 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

    We’ve got another “feel good” episode for everyone this week. Joining us from the U.K. are Jono Hey and Rob Bell, A.K.A., Team Ripped Club London. These guys have a great origin story and we had a blast chatting with them about all things Swimrun, as we are wont to do.

    But first…

    This episode is brought to you by our friends at FORM Swim. They recently released their new Smart Swim 2 goggles and these things are a game changer!

    Training Update

    Training for ÖTILLÖ Whistler begins next week. Chris is done with running “extra” long for a while and we start keeping the psychic tether a bit more taught as we build up for the race.

    Shoutout

    This week’s shout out goes to our friends Nicky and Chelsey Bailey, the mother and daughter duo behind As Keen As Mustard Events. (Check out Episode 56 of the show to learn why they are awesome) We love everything that they are doing to help grow the sport in the U.K. and they recently announced a new event that we think is more than worthy for a shoutout. They are hosting a Training and Kit Testing day that is open to everyone with a bunch of experienced Swimrunners on hard to help lower the barrier to entry for the sport that we all know and love. The event is on June 1st at Sibson Lake in Stibbington. Go to their website to learn more!

    Feats of Endurance

    This week’s winner is getting more of a cumulative award. Friend of the pod and ½ of Team Fearless Fallons (Episode 114 of the show) Samantha Fallon successfully finished a “Swim 100 miles in 100 days” challenge over the weekend. Strong work on being so consistent!

    Make sure to sign up for our LTBz Strava Club and join Swimrunners from around the world as they train for stuff.

    Show Business

    We’re going to be doing an AMA-style show in the next few weeks so DM/email/messenger pigeon us with all your burning Swimrun questions. If we don’t know the answer, don’t worry because we probably know who does.

    It was great to chat with Jono and Rob. We’ve emailed back and forth for a while and we were stoked to finally get to sit down for a proper natter. We chatted about all things Swimrun and had a lot of fun.

    Make sure you head over to Sketchplanations.com to learn more about Jono’s creative “side project” and order the new book!
