  • Great to listen to on the run

    I’ve been trying to find a suitable podcast that talks you through a run as you’re running it. This is perfect - love the phased training ones as well! The interviews are really well delivered and relevant. We want to hear how ‘human’ the celebs are!!! Great work and I’ll continue to listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ken Rideout: Drug addiction to fastest man over 50
Q: What helped you turn your life around from addiction to elite running?
sobriety in 2010, embracing running as therapy, building structure, discipline, and a relentless work ethic; also using fear of relapse to fuel dedication and support from family and community.
Ken Rideout: Drug addiction to fastest man over 50
Q: What does a week of training look like when you're preparing for a race?
Typically 12-15 weeks out I ramp to high mileage, 85-100 miles per week in peak blocks, with a mix of long runs and two key workouts per week, plus a long progression run.
Ken Rideout: Drug addiction to fastest man over 50
Q: Ken, am I right in saying you do 10 miles a day?
Yes, I've maintained a daily minimum of 10 miles for years, with adjustments for recovery and specific training blocks, and I've learned that consistency beats bursts of high intensity when building endurance.
RunPod Sprint! Megan Boxall
Q: Any singing while running or in the book adaptation?
Megan confirms she sings a lot, often Taylor Swift, and supports the idea of incorporating that into the book and movie concept.
RunPod Sprint! Megan Boxall
Q: If this were turned into a movie, what would the name be and who would play you?
