The Running Explained Podcast

Legitimately the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. SUPER informative and helpful to my development as a runner, presenting enough science to learn without overwhelming and the right dash of humor and wit to keep engagement. New to this but already such a big fan, thank you for the direction!

All of the episodes give a wide perspective on the art and science of running. I really loved the most recent episode on when to not run, and I love the idea of what I call intelligent adaptation—the ability to engage with and listen to yourself for the betterment of your running and, more importantly, yourself.

Really great advice around running and nutrition - it helped me totally shift my perspective around running, fueling and responding to my body’s needs - and I’ve seen such great changes. Thank you Elisabeth!

I found this recently and it’s an enjoyable listen. More Q&A would be great. My biggest issues are: Sound issues…main pod is to low volume and then ads blast your speakers. Coach promotion. You might not notice if you don’t binge a few at a time but if you do listen to several in a row it’s just an ad for the coaching industrial complex. I know this bubble hasn’t popped yet but it does get annoying after a while. Weight loss discussions. Every episode that discusses this devolves into a conversation about runners not eating enough. It’s like they (host and guests) are terrified of actually having a discussion that relates to heavier runners. And the season two conversation was a bad look when she talked about never looking like a model or having an elite physique when the host is quite fit by any standard. Still 5 stars.
