Fred Newton

<p>Welcome to episode 196 of the<a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/"> Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!</a></p><p>It’s been long overdue, but we’re super stoked to (finally) welcome Fred Newton to the show this week. He’s the Editor of <a href="https://swimrun.com/">Swimrun.com</a>, a Swimrun evangelist like us, and a terrific human being. We chatted about all kinds of Swimrun-related topics and we can’t wait to share this conversation with all of you. </p><p>But first…</p><p>Training Update</p><p>We’re starting our last training block of the year as we head towards <a href="https://www.odysseyswimrun.com/austin">Ödyssey Swimrun Austin Pace Bend</a>. We’re stoked to close out our Swimrun season for the fourth time at this event and we’re also stoked to be able to drop some of the training volume!</p><p>It goes without saying that we encourage everyone who is Swimrun-curious to join us for this beginner-friendly race.</p><p>Shoutout</p><p>This week we’re shouting out everything that participated in As Keen As Mustard’s <a href="https://www.akamustard.events/nene-swimrun-survivor">Survivor Swimrun</a> over the weekend. This event featured a fun format where individuals raced a 3k lap course with 3 swim sections and 4 run sections on the beautiful River Nene. The time for each lap gets progressively shorter until there is just one racer left. Good stuff!</p><p>Feats of Endurance</p><p>This week’s winner is Lucas Hetzel for deciding to “Yolo it” and sign up and race a half marathon with no training over the weekend in Milwaukee. Strong work on both some questionable decision making and finishing with a good result!</p><p>Make sure to sign up for our LTBz <a href="https://www.strava.com/clubs/lowtideboyz">Strava Club</a> and join Swimrunners from around the world as they train for stuff.</p><p>Show Business</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/swimrunswapmeet">Swimrun Swap Meet</a></p><p>Partners month is being supported by our friends at <a href="https://visit.pfandh.com/LowTide23">Precision Fuel and Hydrati
