Episode 27: VO2 max, lactate threshold, and running economy with Dr Andrew Townshend

In episode 27 of the Onus Athletics podcast, Connor McLaren-Kennedy, Liam Woollett, and Jackson McClure sit down with Dr Andrew Townshend to discuss the three most important physiological markers in distance running: VO2 max, lactate threshold, and running economy.

Andrew explains everything from lab testing to training implementation, walking us through why these numbers matter and diving deep into how you can use them to optimise your running.

Plus, the boys throw out their boldest predictions for 2025: will the women’s marathon world record fall for the third year in a row? Will Grand Slam Track be a success? Will Connor ever run again?
