Every week, hosts Rick Pearson and Ben Hobson sit down to explore the vast, varied, and sometimes wonderfully weird landscape of the sport. The Runner's World Podcast from Runner's World UK is less a lecture and more a conversation among friends, one that welcomes everyone from the first-time jogger to the seasoned marathoner. You’ll hear candid stories from elite athletes about the mental grind behind their physical feats, and practical advice from professional coaches that you can apply to your next run. The discussions, however, stretch far beyond split times and nutrition, often veering into the unexpected intersections where running meets culture, as musicians and comedians share how the rhythm of the road influences their work. At its heart, this podcast understands that a runner's life is about more than logging miles; it's about the community, the personal challenges, and the small triumphs. Each episode blends thoughtful interviews with genuine, actionable insight, creating a space that is as much about the why as it is about the how. It’s a companion for your training journey, offering both entertainment for your rest days and motivation for your next outing.
