<p>Welcome to episode 158 of the<a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/"> Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!</a></p><p>We have a great show this week. Joining us in Studio G is the one and only Amanda Nilsson. She is one of the world’s best Swimrunners and is just an amazing person.

Luckily, we’re still at the beginning of our first build phase of the year so there’s plenty of time to get after it.</p><p>Shoutout/Feats of Endurance</p><p>We’re doing a combo this week to shoutout our friend, Henrik Forssell, for both doing a Swimrun…in January…in Sweden but also for doing at least one Swimrun a month for 27 consecutive months!! It’s at once genius and insane to get out there in Stockholm year round. An impressive feat for sure and worthy of us making him the second inductee into the LTBz Feats of Endurance Hall of Fame.
