Episode Summary
In this bonus episode of RunPod, guest Jonny Marsh, a private chef, talks about his recent experiences with running, particularly training for his first Ironman. Initially, Jonny listened to a metronome for pacing but later transitioned to podcasts. However, he learned that he couldn't listen to anything during the actual race, which he found difficult during training sessions. On race day, surrounded by many participants, he found it easier and even enjoyed runs without music.
Jonny discusses his love for country music and how he enjoys listening to it while running. His favorite headphones are noise-cancelling Sony ones that help him focus during workouts. After running, he prefers to eat high-protein meals, such as spicy chicken salads or rice, to refuel. He often relies on energy gels instead of homemade snacks during training, finding them more convenient than bars that are difficult to digest while running. The episode wraps up with a mention of Jonny's upcoming cooking book, "Everyday Cooking," which features a variety of great recipes.
