StrengthRunning
Hosted by Strength Running
A USATF-certified coach shares science-backed advice on training, injury prevention, and racing for runners of all levels.
Strength Running is an educational podcast for goal-oriented runners. Episodes are often solo deep dives where host Jason Fitzgerald dissects specific training concepts like VO2 max, shoe rotation, or plyometrics. He consistently grounds his practical, actionable advice in scientific studies and data, presenting it in a clear, structured teaching style.
“Unlike conversational running shows, Strength Running is highly structured and educational, resembling a one-on-one coaching session. It stands out by consistently grounding its advice in specific scientific studies and data rather than just personal anecdotes.”
