A guide to 152 active running podcasts, checked against their own feeds.

- [Ali on the Run Show](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/ali-on-the-run-show/): A long-running interview show built around people's lives and how running fits into them. Guests range from pro marathoners and race announcers to actors, a food-pantry manager and runners with serious illness, and the show follows the Boston, Chicago and New York marathon weekends closely. It suits everyday runners who enjoy personal stories as much as race talk.
- [Another Mother Runner](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/another-mother-runner/): A long-running show for women who fit running around family and work, part of the Feisty Media network. The Friday episodes cover training, motivation, health and the less-discussed body issues of running with coaches, writers and everyday runners. The Tuesday Miles of Books strand recommends fiction and sports or self-help non-fiction.
- [Crack A Brew With AJW](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/crack-a-brew-with-ajw/): A relaxed conversation show in which a veteran ultrarunner shares a drink with someone from the trail world. Guests range from Western States contenders and record setters to race founders and media figures, and the talk mixes their races with life outside running. Themed runs of episodes have covered young ultrarunners, running couples and the people behind trail media.
- [Doctors of Running Podcast](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/doctors-of-running-podcast/): Physical therapists talk about running shoes and the body that wears them. Most weeks the panel compares new road shoes by category, such as super shoes, max-cushion trainers and stability shoes, and between those they answer listener questions on injuries, form and training with reference to the evidence. Brand product leads and university researchers join now and then to explain how a shoe was built or what the research shows.
- [Everyday Ultra](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/everyday-ultra/): A practical ultrarunning show built around how-to topics: fueling plans, fatigue, VO2 max work, mental tactics and race-specific guides. Interviews feature both well-known ultrarunners and everyday athletes coached by the show's team, often just after a first 50K or 100-miler. It is aimed at amateur ultrarunners who are training for their next longer race.
- [Human Performance Outliers Podcast with Zach Bitter](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/human-performance-outliers/): An ultrarunner hosts long interviews with record-setting athletes, coaches and researchers, with a focus on ultramarathons, from backyard and multi-day formats to 100-mile trail races. A recurring news episode reviews recent race results and debates in the sport, such as fueling trends, doping and race policies. Solo episodes follow the host's own training, including his return from a blood clot.
- [LetsRun.com's Track Talk](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/letsrun-track-talk/): The audio arm of the LetsRun.com message-board site, built around a weekly argument about the results that matter in pro distance running. The panel goes race by race through Diamond Leagues, majors and championships, and also takes on doping, governance and the business of the sport. Separate interview episodes feature athletes, coaches and race organizers, often soon after a big performance.
- [Nobody Asked Us](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/nobody-asked-us/): Two former Olympic teammates talk through the week in pro running: marathon majors, Diamond League meets, doping cases and the arguments runners are having online. Each episode mixes that news with personal catch-up and the hosts' own racing. It suits listeners who follow elite results and want them discussed by people who raced at that level.
- [Off The Rails](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/off-the-rails/): Two former professional runners from CITIUS MAG talk through the week's track and road racing news alongside a lot of pop culture, gossip and life updates. Running stories such as doping cases, world records and championship meets sit next to tangents about concerts, pets and current events. It is for track fans who want news delivered as long, unscripted banter rather than analysis.
- [Relay](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/relay/): A friends-on-a-group-run style podcast in which a crew of runners of different levels react to the week in running. Big marathons, US championships and doping news sit next to the hosts' own races, fueling mishaps and plenty of off-topic tangents. Now and then a single guest, from age-group runners to elite marathoners, gets a full episode.
- [Science of Running](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/science-of-running/): Two distance-running coaches talk through how training works and how to coach it. Episodes stay on one idea, such as double threshold, peaking, recovery or coaching new runners, and focus on principles over set workouts. Several multi-part series are aimed at coaches as much as at runners.
- [Singletrack](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/singletrack/): A podcast that follows professional trail and ultrarunning the way other shows follow track or the marathon majors. Around big races such as UTMB, Western States, Hardrock and Javelina it adds previews, results analysis and interviews with the top finishers. Between races it runs weekly news and long conversations with athletes, coaches and race organizers.
- [Some Work, All Play](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/some-work-all-play/): Two running coaches go through recent exercise-science papers and big race results, then explain what they think it means for everyday training. Typical subjects are fueling and carb intake, fatigue resistance, heat training, bicarb and shoe technology, mixed with plenty of joking around. It is aimed at runners of any level who like to understand the reasoning behind a training plan.
- [CITIUS MAG Podcast](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/citius-mag-podcast/): A professional track and road racing show from the running outlet CITIUS MAG. Episodes alternate between long interviews with elite athletes before and after their big races and panel recaps of marathon majors and championships. It is for fans who follow results closely and want to hear from the athletes themselves.
- [The Drop](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/the-drop/): The podcast of the shoe and gear review site Believe in the Run. The main episodes mix first impressions of new road shoes with race-weekend trips, running news and a lot of off-topic banter, while The Dirt Division covers trail shoes and gear. It suits runners who want to hear shoes talked through at length before they buy.
- [Freetrail](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/freetrail/): A trail and ultrarunning show that works as a weekly news desk for the sport. The Monday news episode covers race results, previews and industry moves, and during events like UTMB and the Golden Trail Series Final the feed fills up with short pre- and post-race athlete interviews. It is for trail runners who want to keep up with the pro side of the sport and its business.
- [The Running Channel Podcast](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/the-running-channel-podcast/): The podcast of The Running Channel, recorded in the UK and made for everyday runners rather than specialists. Each week the three hosts take one question, such as whether foot strike matters or why races cost so much, and mix it with running news and their own race stories. Guests include sports scientists, researchers and the occasional elite athlete.
- [The Strength Running Podcast](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/the-strength-running-podcast/): A coaching-led podcast about running faster without getting hurt. Most episodes pair the host with a single specialist, such as a physiologist, physical therapist, dietitian or elite marathoner, to work through one topic like zone 2, plantar fasciitis or marathon workouts. Some episodes follow real runners he coaches toward a goal.
- [Trail Runner Nation](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/trail-runner-nation/): A long-running trail podcast that mixes practical topics with runners' stories. One week covers caffeine, heat, hydration or foot care with a coach or researcher, the next a race story or a book author. A recurring series looks at staying active and racing as runners age.
- [Tread Lightly Running Science Podcast](https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/tread-lightly-running-science-podcast/): Two running coaches take one question a week, such as whether zone 2 is overrated or how long it takes to get faster, and work through what the studies say. Topics stay close to everyday training: half and marathon plans, tapering, heat, iron, fueling and recovery tools. Guest episodes bring in dietitians, sports psychologists and physical therapists.
