#115 Victor Urquhart Smångs: Lactate, Double Treshold & First Marathon

How can runners train with more precision — without guessing pace or wasting miles?

In this episode of The Marathon Podcast, Victor Smångs, Swedish distance runner and coach, breaks down the science and control behind smart endurance training. We dive into lactate testing, intensity control, and how tools like Nomio are changing the way runners understand effort, fueling, and adaptation.

Victor also shares his journey from late starter to high-level performer, his background in hockey, and what it’s been like preparing for his first marathon this year. This is a practical, performance-focused conversation for runners who want to train with more intention, better data, and fewer wasted miles.

A must-listen for marathoners and distance runners interested in aerobic development, pacing accuracy, and modern training methods.
