How Elite Marathon Runners Get Faster & Best Running Shoes 2026  | Stephen Scullion

Irish Olympian Stephen Scullion (2:09 marathon) joins us to break down what really separates good runners from the elite, and it’s probably not what you think.

Stephen challenges the zone 2 obsession, shares his "Just Another Sunday" philosophy for race-day confidence, and ranks the fastest super shoes on the planet. We also discuss why discipline beats motivation, the weight-performance paradox, and his "patchwork quilt" approach to finding marginal gains.

Plus: Why Mo Farah squats 140kg at 55kg bodyweight, and what it really takes to run fast when no one's watching.
