This is my favorite podcast. No fluff, just science and evidence-based advice. I’ve learned more about running from Laura and Amanda than any other resources. They have definitely fed my running obsession.

I enjoy these podcasts and the education and insight that comes with it. Thank you for sharing everything we need to know! 🤍

I really appreciate the inclusive tone and approach Amanda and Laura take for their podcast… it doesn’t matter if you’ve been running for decades or just got started, they present information in a way I can understand and interpret to my own fitness goals.

These coaches give great recommendations based on the science experience they have with coaching and running. I recommend this show all the time on social media and reddit because they have answers to almost every common question that runners will face when training for 5Ks to marathons.

While the audience for this podcast seems to skew towards women, collectively the episodes add up to a solid nuanced education on the current science of endurance running, delivered in a very no nonsense format. A nitpick I have from listening to every episode is the amount of times the hosts agree with each other about every point, which can feel artificial, but this is preferably to that *other* big running podcast from Boulder Colorado, which often blurs the line between established science and personal hot takes. I also wish there was another way to contact the hosts if you have opted out of instagram. This review will have to do.

It’s so refreshing to hear relatable running advice by women for women. Thank you for making your podcast easy to listen to and fun!

Great advice and insights with a couple of great coaches, fun to listen to. Never too long and chatty, direct, smart and to the point.

The coach co-hosts of this pod explain data and studies into digestible info we all want to know about running. I love the efficient, concise and clear explanations backed by science. Thank you both!!

As someone who’s gotten into running recently, this has been a terrific go-to weekly deep dive into everything running. Great topics, great breakdowns and most importantly super accessible for all levels. They always have great tips and it’s the perfect thing to listen to on a run!

As a physical therapist assistant, I appreciate coaches who encourage strength training! Goal is to have more people doing what they love and less injuries. Thank y'all for the best content that’s back by research

Hey thank you for your fantastic episodes! I love that you choose topics that are super relevant to regular runners’ experiences and concerns, as opposed to reporting on elite materials or professionals news. I also like that you focus on really addressing the issue in an entertaining and easy to understand manner, versus trying to be “too cute” and being corny. Hate when other podcast fill up a bunch of time doing just that. Please keep great content coming!

Laura and Amanda know their stuff! Every topic they discuss they do so thoughtfully, and with nuance and a little humor. The perfect balance.

I love that there are so many episodes for beginner runners that are training for new distances. Things are explained in a simple and helpful way. And I can’t believe someone left a bad review over a mispronounced word. So I came here to leave my good review.

I started listening to this podcast after it started, but now I am going back and listening to ALL of the episodes! Amanda Brooks and Laura Norris are SO knowledgeable, and deliver that information in short bytes over each approximately 30 minute episode. I have learned a lot already and know I will continue learning as I continue to listen. Thanks, ladies for such a helpful podcast!

I’m so thankful for these coaches. I’ve been running for 3 years and every time i learn something new. Also I’m thankful for the unnecessary music or intros lol

I’ve been impressed by Laura and Amanda, having listened to 20 or so episodes. And I just hired Laura to coach me in preparation for a half marathon. You can tell they are good friends, they have great chemistry and a lot of knowledge.

Great podcast! Lots of great practical information from a pair of knowledgeable runners/run coaches. Great how they feed off each other but each certainly brings their own perspective.

I love this show and I’m so happy to have stumbled upon it . I’ve been running and racing for a long time and I’m so happy to continue learning from these two wonderful hosts . The specific topics and how well they are covered is great !! Supportive, Informative and well thought out. Full of great tips for EVERYONE in the running sphere . Keep it up !!

I am so thankful to have found these incredibly helpful, encouraging, and well-informed coaches. My running is already benefiting from what I’ve learned from them in just a few episodes.

Amanda and Laura are amazing running coaches who give so much value and knowledge to those who would listen and apply. Thank you!!

What I really like about this podcast is 1- they refer to actual peer reviewed research and cite sources. Can’t stand how another popular running podcaster often says ‘research says’ without citing sources! No critical thinker should ever accept that! 2- love the dialogue and how they ask each other open ended questions (“how do you see it?”). 3- NO ADS.

Love love love the mix of science and practical advice for everyday runners. Smart and well researched advice that is not jargony and in plain English. More podcasters need to learn from this show

Listening to this podcast as I have gotten back into running over the last couple of years has been a great education in all that has changed since I ran in high school many years ago. Listening back through the archive, I found many episodes that answered questions I didn’t know I had. My running is stronger and more enjoyable thanks to what I’ve learned. Many thanks!

Love this podcast!!! Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge. It’s really helping me learn more and run better! Y'all are awesome!

Thorough and science based running information while maintaining accessible language for novice and casual runners like myself! Much appreciated

I have been a listener since the first episode and, of all the running podcasts, this is still at the top of the list. Experienced, down-to-earth, practical wisdom to make anyone a better runner, whether you are a novice or a lifer

This is my favorite running podcast. Laura and Amanda are informative and educational, and I appreciate their holistic and inclusive approach. I also appreciate the digestible 30 minute format. Keep on doing what you do Laura and Amanda, and I’ll keep listening.

The information on this podcast is truly second to none! Its practical, evidenced based and succinct. Each week’s show is applicable to runners of all kinds—novice, experienced, slower, faster, low mileage, high mileage, you name it. It’s the first thing I listen to on my Saturday long runs and despite being a runner for almost 20 years, I learn something with every episode!

A lot of running podcasts can be geared towards fast runners but Laura and Amanda are really for everyone, whether you run a 6 min pace or a 16 min pace! They are so knowledgeable and disseminate info well for the layman! Full disclosure: Laura is my coach, and I reached out to her after listening to the podcast for a while!

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. They give a lot of good information and insight on running, recovery, and more,

Recently found their podcast and have been working my way through all of the episodes. Really appreciate that they don’t go all in on the newest greatest hyped up product or workout but use actual science and critical thinking to back up their info. Highly recommend.

One of my favorite podcasts with straightforward and applicable information! Laura and Amanda are easy to listen to and are so knowledgeable about all things running. A must listen!

This show has taught me so much about running. Amanda and Laura have answered so many questions I’ve had both directly via the show’s instagram and indirectly through the content that they cover. This show has 100% made me a better and more knowledgeable runner

Thank you so much for the podcast. I am learning so much as a beginner runner. I have really seen a lot of improvements using the advice of this podcast and most importantly avoiding injury.

I love the concept and could even tolerate the mispronunciation of hyaluronic acid, but you lost me after “myocardial infraction”

Your podcast is wonderful! I’m learning so much. You are both so well spoken and knowledgeable. Lots of information that I can apply to my training and you answer so many questions I’ve had. I’m 40 and running better than when I was younger, thank you!

I find this podcast to be a great source of information. Amanda and Laura are so knowledgeable and down to earth. I appreciate being able to learn about various topics and put it to use. Thank you!

Great information and interesting and entertaining to listen to!

When I started running last year I got pretty zealous and I binged a LOT of running podcasts. So trust me when I say this is one of the best you can find. The co-hosts provided evidence-based and thorough information on each episode’s topic, and most impressively, they do that while making a show that is fun and relaxing to listen to. Go ahead and binge this show, your running economy and your health and your happiness will thank you!

Currently binge listening to it and finally getting so much good advice for how to run and not get injured or burned out! This is all amazing stuff I never knew. I would love more info on 5ks and shorter distances since I feel this is mostly geared toward marathoners. I have trained and raced 5ks over 10 years but don’t have any desire to race any greater distance due to lifestyle and time investment. I feel like most of the population could probably relate to focusing on shorter distances and I’d just love more info and research to drill in on improving that area. But thanks so much and keep the good episodes coming! ;)

I’ve followed Laura for years for her knowledge of running and this podcast doesn’t disappoint. Her and Amanda do a great job breaking down the science of running!

I enjoy this podcast a lot! It’s full of information for runners of all levels. I like the format too, straight into questions and the topic of the day without much off topic banter. I appreciate the information on injury prevention for runners and dispelling running myths circulating social media. Great podcast all around!

Love the topics you cover!! They are running specific, and I like getting both of your perspectives on various running topics!

I learn so much from your podcast and love that you have such diverse topics. Great content! Would love to hear more about runner strength training as well since that is so key to running longevity

Great information. Easy to listen to format. Every topic is something I want to listen to. And you answered my listener question, which was so awesome!!

This is a great podcast to receive credible running tips and tricks from educated runners. They explain science-backed information in a very simple way, and are making running a more inclusive activity. These are very helpful and inspiring women!

Loving this podcast and am adding it to my current rotation! Very informative with easy to understand scientific explanations as to the when, why, and how of running. 👍

I have received Laura’s informative emails for some time so I was really excited about this podcast - it does NOT disappoint! Factual data + no gimmicks or fads = perfection. My only constructive feedback is if I hear “uh-hundred percent” one more time, I’m going to tab myself in the eye. It’s nearly at drinking game levels on some episodes. :)

Of all the running podcasts I listen to, this is the most inclusive of runners in perimenopause/menopause, chronic issues like POTS or long Covid or hypermobility, runners of various abilities. I am a health care provider so I’m picky about science and theirs is on point. Highly recommended.

So much great info, but sorry to say that the sound mix between Amanda and Laura needs help. Laura sound is normal and Amanda’s sound is at a much lower level and sounds like she is in a box. Makes a bit of difference enjoying the podcast on run. Fingers crossed it’s a simple fix.
