Welcome to episode 265 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! We’ve got a great show for everyone this week! Joining to talk about training for ÖTILLÖ Catalina is the one and only Nicolas Remires , founder of Envol Coaching . (He is also the winner of the World Series distance at Catalina 2020 in the Men’s team division with his partner Francesc De Lanuza Gimeno.) We asked Coach Nico to come on to help get everyone that is racing (or thinking of racing) the 2025 edition in late April get to the start line as prepared as possible. We covered a lot of ground in this conversation and you’ll definitely want to get out your notepads for this one. Are you still on the fence about signing up for ÖTILLÖ Catalina?
