Why I Love “For the Long Run”
I’ve been listening to For the Long Run since I started running again on Dec 26, 2023. A few years ago, I was a fairly strong runner, competing in multiple races a year. In 2020, I was told I would never run again. Here I am, four years later, training for The Great Divide Ultra 100 miler. What I love about this podcast most is that it addresses topics that go beyond running. Jonathan interviews the elite and the non-elite, because their stories are equally important. I’ve listened to athletes from various ethnic, social and religious backgrounds share their journey. Whether I have an amazing run or an absolutely awful training day, I find motivation in For the Long Run. I have found that over the last few months, I have changed some of my perspective when it comes to running, racing, goal setting, and life in general, partly because of this podcast. I am also a single mom and deal with some guilt surrounding the sport, but then I listen to these episodes and I am reminded why I’m truly doing this. I need to be physically, mentally and emotionally healthy for myself and my children. Thank you, For the Long Run, for being part of my journey.

Jonathan has a great mix of guests and asks the best questions. Some of these interviews, I’ve listened to twice. They’re just really good.

I truly love this podcast and it is my go to for my long runs. Jonathan’s voice and content is always very interesting. The sound quality is super consistent—and excellent. The guests are fun to get to know—it is like having a conversation with friends on my own long journeys!!
