Running Is Getting Weird

from The Runner's Club Podcast Hosted by therunnersclubpodcast

Running is booming… but when did it start getting this weird? Courtney, Ian and Mike are back for another week of miles, laughs and conversations that somehow go way deeper than expected. Ian gets real about being afraid to start running again and what it feels like returning to the sport older, heavier and nowhere near the fitness level you remember. That leads to a bigger conversation about starting over, taking the pressure off and figuring out what running looks like in a new season of life. Then things get interesting. Would you use a Strava heat map to decide where to live? What happens when running data starts telling a bigger story about neighborhoods, access and community? And apparently we're claiming territory with our runs now?! The crew also gets into the running boom, ridiculous world records, the evolution of fueling and training, wearables, longevity culture and one big question: how much faster can humans actually get? A little running. A little culture. A lot of side quests. Welcome back to The Runner's Club Podcast. Find us on IG Courtney - ⁠@courtneynphillips⁠ Ian - ⁠@acoolthought⁠ Mike - @mikeb_runnin Intro by producer Dini - ⁠@dinibeats⁠
