  • Fantastic podcast!

    I’m an endurance runner and was quite prone to injuries so I’ve found this podcast very informative and a great aid for helping me get more consistent with my strength training and stronger along the way!

    Thank you! 🙏

  • One of the best

    I’ve been meaning to write this review for a long time. Strength Running really inspired my running journey. I’m not naturally athletic, I have some health issues, and I’m no spring chicken. Jason’s podcast gave me the information and motivation to pursue distances and races I would never have imagined. I’ve been listening since 2020 and have since run multiple half marathons and two marathons, with more to come.

    What stands out most is Jason’s interview style. He’s clearly done his research, a... more

  • Lifelong Running

    I’ve been running for over 40 years, and now, in my late 50s, I appreciate an evidence-based approach more than ever. This podcast consistently features a diverse range of knowledgeable guests who share practical, science-backed insights on everything from workouts and nutrition to recovery. It's one of my favorite running resources, supporting my training for the long haul.

  • Great…but

    There is always at least one great takeaway from each episode but misses the point that running is mostly a personal journey. If I was new to the sport I would run away from this over analysis.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2:08 Marathoner Scott Fauble on How to Run Your Fastest Marathon
Q: If you were coaching a new runner that wanted to run a fast marathon, let's say in two to three years, what would you have them start to focus on now?
Fauble would give the runner varied workouts and race experiences, emphasizing resilience, mental skills, and safe opportunities to fail. He would build their racing judgment over time and avoid making training metrics the sole focus.
2:08 Marathoner Scott Fauble on How to Run Your Fastest Marathon
Q: What do you think has changed over the last 10 to 15 years or so in the domain of training?
Fauble describes a shift from marathon-pace and threshold workouts toward higher mileage, more threshold training, double thresholds, and long runs with floating recoveries. He also compares the two training approaches he experienced under Ben Rosario and Joe Bosshard.
2 Coaches on Running's Hottest Topics: "Run Slow to Run Fast," Walking, & Zone 2 Purism
Q: What do you think about this for runners? Is rucking an effective thing for runners?
Chris McClung sees rucking as one possible way to get people moving, but questions whether adding weight is more useful than an unweighted walk. For runners with performance goals, he says there are often more effective training choices.
2 Coaches on Running's Hottest Topics: "Run Slow to Run Fast," Walking, & Zone 2 Purism
Q: Where is the truth in the common phrase “Run Slow to Run Fast”?
Chris McClung says easy running enables the training volume, faster workouts and strides that develop speed. Easy mileage supports that work rather than making runners faster by itself.
The Art of the Long Run: Joe Corcione on How to Plan Ultra Long Runs
Q: What should be the focus for someone starting with ultras vs marathon training?
Prioritize overall weekly mileage and consistency, with a long-run progression that matches the athlete's capacity; avoid jumping long runs too aggressively and use time-on-feet as a driver for 50K scenarios, while gradually building durability.
