Listen to podcasts while running
RadioPublic is a free podcast app that’s perfect for your run.
Music can be a great motivator to help push you through a hard run, but sometimes hearing the same songs over and over can be, well repetitive. Podcasts are a great alternative to a music running rut, and with shows covering thousands of topics and millions of episodes you can press play and never hear the same thing twice. We’ve compiled four playlists of awesome shows to get you started.
30 podcast episodes perfect for a 5k run
I was on track for getting my 5k down to below 20 minutes before my right achilles decided to put the kibosh on that goal… grrrrr. Maybe this will be the year! Anyway this 30 podcast episodes that are 30 minutes playlist is chockfull of great 30 minute episodes. The perfect length for a warmup, training run and a short cool down. Press play, learn, laugh and feel more connected to people while you run.
Quick Hits is a playlist with variety during your run
Looking for a mix of podcast episodes and topics while you run? Try the Quick Hits playlist.
Podcast episodes for marathon training
Training for a marathon? Don’t want to fiddle with the skip button? Try these hour-long plus episodes in the “Long Haul” podcast playlist. Originally created for those long car road trips, it’s a great list of episodes to keep you company during your long run.
