Joining us in Studio G to discuss the revival of Breca Swimrun is none other than Swimrun Evangelist and new Race Director Jon Littlewood. We are stoked to share this exclusive conversation about Breca Swimrun 2.0 and the new Breca Urban X series.But first…Training UpdateÖdyssey Swimrun Casco Bay is almost here and we’ve reached the “hay is in the barn” stage of training and we are super stoked for our first event of the year! ShoutoutThis past weekend Chris was in SoCal on vacation and met up with Team Cali-Coed and some Tower 26 folks for a Swimrun in Marina del Rey. Thank you to Liza, Mike, Chris and the rest of the crew for the hospitality and once again confirming that the greatest thing about Swimrun is the community! Feats of EnduranceThis week’s winner is Emily Zelik.

To say that he’s super stoked on Swimrun would be an understatement.
