My last post was about my favorite running gear and this one will be about my favorite podcasts that focus on running. There are so many and I have a few I follow and many I wish I had time to listen to. I don't listen to podcasts when I run because I prefer music for runs but I walk my dog regularly and listen to podcasts then and while commuting. In no particular order here are the ones I listen to regularly. You'll find me listening to my podcasts on my Aftershokz Wireless Bone Conduction Earbuds.
Another Mother Runner- This is the podcast I've been following the longest. Sarah and Dimity are the founders of AMR and they have a big following. They have so many different topics on their show and they have a lively back and forth at the beginning of each episode where you hear about their lives too. They have a few regular topics they do each year and a variety of other topics. They always do an episode each season focusing on what they are reading and as a book lover it's one of my favorite episodes!
AMR also has coaches who write training plans and when you purchase a training plan you get swag and access to the coaches throughout your race training. They have different levels for all their training plans whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced runner. They also have a yearly program called Many Happy Miles that is running and overall fitness related to keep you motivated all year.
Running 4 Real with Tina Muir- I discovered this podcast because Tina was a guest on the AMR podcast. Tina is British and she's an incredible interviewer and when she has guests on who are pro-runners she always comes up with unique questions so the interview is fresh and not a repeat of what you've heard on other podcasts. Tina also has a wide range of topics on her show so there's something for everyone. Tina also has a private group on Facebook for her listeners. One of the cool things I found is that when Tina was pregnant with her first baby she actually took the same childbirth class that I teach (Hypnobabies) from an instructor near her.
The Morning Shakeout with Mario Fraoli-Mario's podcast is a long form podcast. Most of his podcasts are well over an hour long but they are chockfull of good stuff. He also has a variety of different backgrounds on his show. He interviews some pro-runners but also some amateurs, some track runners, coaches and more. I feel like all of the podcasters I listen to are fantastic at interviewing their guests but Mario has something special. He is great and finessing the stories from his guests.
Ali on the Run-Ali Feller is a podcaster I discovered after she did a live show with other podcasters I was listening to. Right now she's my favorite to listen to. She's funny, she's a great interviewer and she usually has at least one really warm and fuzzy moment on every podcast. She and Mario Fraoli recently did a podcast together and they were like the dream team! Ali also does some different series. She's had a Motherhood Mondays where she interviews other moms, doulas, OB/Gyn's and midwives and other people new moms should know about. She does an On the Job series with people with interesting professions and how they fit running into their lives and so many other fun things. She also has a private and fun Facebook group where her listeners can connect.
The Rambling Runner with Matt Chittim-The Rambling Runner podcast is so awesome because Matt mostly features every day amateur runners. He has pros on from time to time but it's mostly every day runners who are doing fun and exciting things. Some are really fast amateur runners and some are more relatable to folks like me. He and Ali Feller do a fun Ramblings on the Run podcast together each month which is a blast! Matt is currently doing a series in preparation for his 40th birthday in 2021 where he's chasing a 10k in under 40 minutes for his 40th birthday and he's working with a running coach, a nutritionist and a sports psychologist to prepare him for the challenge. So about once a month his podcast is his conversations with those folks and I'm really looking forward to hearing that he's crushed that goal!
Last but not least because these are in no particular order (except how my podcast feed is right now) is:
I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein-like many of the other podcasts I found Lindsey when she was a guest on Running 4 Real with Tina Muir. Lindsey also has a great mix of guests. She's recently done a series with coaches (some college coaches, some pro-runner coaches) and those have been a lot of fun! She once got the pleasure to interview Tony Dungy at an event too! Lindsey owns a podcast group and had several other podcasts that her production company puts out. There are other running podcasts, a parenting podcast and one that's called The Illuminate Podcast which "shares stories and perspectives of those working to spread light and illuminate others."
