[PODCAST] Deep Dive chat on Sports Tech w/e May 30th, 2025 (ft. AI Insights)
This weekly podcast features discussions with influencers and publications in the endurance world, covering a range of topics in a friendly, chatty format. The goal is to help listeners become better athletes through insights into better nutrition, more effective supplements, improved training strategies, and a deeper understanding of physiology — things that can make you faster! Oh yes, quite a lot of sports tech too!
It’s more than just a simple recap of my content. Sometimes, it will cover the background research I conduct for my articles, and it may include recaps of scientific papers. Whatever came up last week that I found interesting.

The Deep Dive Podcast is available on most major podcast platforms, including Spotify (link below), Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeart, YouTube Podcasts, and others. It’s an AI-powered podcast, so don’t listen if that’s not your thing; it occasionally gets the pronunciation wrong. It uses closed sources, meaning it can’t invent facts.
There are now several podcasts with the same name, so look for the running shoe logo or search your favourite podcast platform for ‘the5krunner’.
