Low Tide Boyz, a Swimrun Podcast9 Apr 2020

Nicolas Remires of Envol Coaching

Welcome to episode fourteen of the Low Tide Boyz, a Swimrun Podcast!

On this week’s show we chat with Nicolas Remirez of Envol Coaching about his love for the sport and training for swimrun. More on that later in the show!

We will be going back to every other week show posting schedule but we want your feedback on what you want to be listening to. We can do gear reviews, deep dive on events, specific guests to interview, etc. Reach to us on social media or shoot us an email at lowtideboyz@gmail.com.

We’re still in the middle of the #coronapocalypse but training as much as we can while trying to follow the medical and scientific advice on the best way to get past this pandemic. Chris trespassed on some trails already and has been getting re-acquainted with his bike seat and Chipper is riding the Peloton and is being good about doing dry land workouts.

This week’s shout out goes to the Run for Tacos swimrun team. They are two buddies with one living in Toronto and one in Tucson. They are big fans of the meme page and they are training for their first race at Odyssey Swimrun’s Orcas Island.

Now on to our interview! Nicolas Remirez is a French multi-sports athlete and endurance sports coach in Stockholm, Sweden. He’s a stout athlete with an impressive resume, including racing the Ötillö World Championship 5 times, a ton of other swimrun events and triathlons, running and cycling events and most recently won Ötillö Catalina with his partner Francesc.

Nicolas created Envol Coaching where he works athletes of all levels for endurance events including triathlon, 5 km runs to ultra-marathon, open water swimming, swimrun and cycling. He also started Team Envol which is an international swimrun team were athletes get training advice, community to ask questions and support at events. (There were 24 Team Envol members racing in Catalina.)

In this interview we chatted with Nicolas about his endurance racing chops, his love for swimrun and his decision to go all in on the sport and start Envol Coaching and Team Envol. It was a great conversation with a lot of tangible tips for becoming a better swimrun racer both in training and on raceday.

One thing that we really liked about Team Envol was are the values that they promote and expect from their team members to abide by, including promoting team spirit, to respect, protect and clean the environment, help develop the community of Team Envol swimrunners and share experiences/knowledge about swimrun. It really is a global team of folks training for their events while trying to lift up the sport as whole.

We encourage everyone interested in training for Swimrun to check out Nicolas’s coaching platform at Envol Coaching and his group training group Team Envol. (Chris joined Team Envol and he’s been stoked! Well worth the price.) Nicolas is always happy to answer questions so reach out to him on facebook if you want to learn more.
