The Natural Running Network

This podcast is often repetitive, Diaz has his pet subjects and gets back to them often. Of late, many episodes have felt like infomercials for his method/clinics/services. Yet he sometimes has interesting guests on and isn’t afraid to go outside the standard fare. Some of the training info is also interesting and not heard elsewhere often.

Well, I wanted to write this review with an open mind. I like most of the science behind the running but it’s hard to get through with Richard who apparently has a chip on his shoulder. Highly ranting is what he calls it but seems to me and others that it’s complaining and jealousy. He’s not on the level as the Yancy Camp business wise. Sorry nobody goes and cancels your running clinics lol. People are not interested in an over weight old man spewing out garage(negativity) and a mix of For pseud... more

This OCR/Running Podcast was not the first OCR podcast I have listened too but in my opinion it is the best. If you stick up the other big podcasts in OCR, they really don’t compare. I started with ORM media, then tried Obstacle Order and Obstacle Dominator, also giving Spartan Up and a few others a try. I have to be completely honest, the other’s are not even close. Richard combines consistency (monthly and often weekly podcasts are churned out), with subjects that help the audience learn/grow,... more

I attended one of Richard’s clinics and in a matter of a few hours he changed my life for the better. To be able to listen to the podcasts about different athletes and ways to train keep me on track to continue to put me in a better place. Check out his videos on YouTube as well. Keep the podcasts coming!

Richard Diaz puts on a great podcast and his new cohost Shan Khan an up and coming endurance athlete provide some fun and informative content everything in the endurance and OCR realm!

The Natural Running Network with Rich is always a great listen if you want to perform better and reduce risk of injury. He's interviewed some amazing guests from OCR/endurance and everything in between. With new cohost Shan Khan in the mix there is a new perspective and it makes for fun content. Make sure to listen to them!

Most insightful and informative running podcast out there! Worth a listen!

Can't wait to get better at running!!

If you want some valuable information and want to hear from some of the best athletes and people in the endurance realm you really want to give this a listen. Rich has a wealth of knowledge and his new sidekick Shan on board always make for interesting and valuable discussion.

Thanks so much for sharing all that valuable knowledge about running technique, training concepts and staying healthy. Your podcast helped me to make big changes in my running form and reach a new level! Thanks a lot, Richard!

Great podcast that discusses running form, effective and efficient ways to train in order to achieve peak performance, timely topics stirring in the OCR community, and always entertains!

This podcast has been an incredible resource for running information and OCR training tips. I also participated in Richard's gait analysis and that has significantly helped my running and injury prevention.

A few of my friends in Spartan 4-0 recommended Richard to me and I have to say, I am really stoked for our first clinic in Philly here soon! I have listend to a few of the podcasts and find them very informative about my running stride ... Would recommend to anyone wanting to better their game! Thank you Richard!

I’ve been listening to Richard Diaz rant about midfoot running at 180 SPM for almost two years now. His ranting has single handedly saved me as a runner!! I was beating myself up with heel striking and over-striding and running toward a definite catastrophic breakdown. By listening to his podcast episodes I have adopted his teachings, changed my running 100% for the better and have taught it to anyone that will listen to me! I’m a changed runner, and I only have Rich to thank. Of course I love h... more

Rich definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to running. Moreover, he's in contact with the right professionals in order to get the empirical information needed to validate what he preaches. Plus his rants and side-bars are always worth a good laugh. Check this guy out and get to his running camp if you can!!
