The Running Lab

The Running Lab is a podcast about the science, history, and practice of running. Host Alex, a UESCA-certified running coach with over 15 years of experience, 20 marathons, and ultramarathon experience, explains how training works and why runners improve. Episodes draw on evidence and stories from figures like Emil Zatopek and Arthur Lydiard to modern training science. The show turns complex running topics into practical knowledge for everyday runners.
