EDR #69 /BIG5 Preview/ Emiel Berghout: Heat adaptation (or not), the moustache and YouTube Career

Welcome to Episode #69: I’m Andy Fuller, the host of Everyday Runners and a co-founder of Reading Sideways Press. 

I love making this podcast: it is the most satisfying ‘work’ that I have done. And that’s why I want to thank the supporters of the podcast in helping me make it sustainable: Dominic, Nesrine, Levi, Gianluca, Joao and Bob. Dominic is the latest supporter and he ran a 10,000m and Club Record last week at the Gouden Spike in Leiden. So: massive congrats to you. 

Noah Schutte, another friend of the podcast and regular guest, became national champion again for the 10,000m, on his home track, so it was a sweet victory for him. 

This episode is the first in a series of episodes in which I interview athletes taking part in the BIG5 in the Nedereindse Berg in Utrecht. 

In this episode I speak with Emiel Berghout who is rapidly becoming one of the most well-known athletes in the Netherlands largely through his popular YouTube channel and consistent high level performances. I generally like the way Emiel goes about his running - in both a serious and not-so-serious manner. 

So, we discuss his recent training and racing, his adaptation (or not) to the heat and what he is looking forward to do at the BIG5. 

I hope you enjoy the show and if you are so inclined, please consider supporting the show via the Buy Me a Coffee platform. 

Until next time, doei doei
