For anyone who can't fathom making an hour-long playlist, podcasts could be your solution.
can get boring. While crossing off mile after mile can certainly inspire a sense of achievement, sometimes putting one foot in front of the other can feel like a grueling chore. Recruiting a running buddy helps, but it might not always be possible. That’s why it’s necessary to occasionally call in some reinforcements to keep you entertained through all the miles. Enter podcasts, a distance runner’s best friend.
As a runner myself, I’ve listened to plenty of podcasts on the road. But my main pick showcases a star who when she talks has me hanging on every word: Oprah Winfrey. Her podcast,, basically sounds like her old talk show but in audio form and with more in-depth, uplifting, thought-provoking messages. She brings on a variety of people from authors like Cheryl Strayed and singers like India Arie to comedians like Jimmy Kimmel and thought leaders like vulnerability researcher Brené Brown.
In general I think the best thing about listening to podcasts while pounding the pavement is that you get so wrapped up in the hosts' and guests' words—and what their words make you think about—you almost forget how long you’ve been running., we asked 16 runners to reveal their favorite podcasts to plug into, plus their can’t-miss episodes. Read what they have to say, then download and tune in on your next training run for a very welcome distraction.
