The Best Podcast About Marathon Running
I started my marathon training journey earlier this summer en route to the Marine Corps Marathon in October (my first). I have listened to many run-related podcasts but Chris’s podcast is by far the best. Why? First of all, his content is far-reaching, in depth and always helpful. Any time I wonder “Does Rogue have a podcast on this topic”, they almost always do (sometimes more than one). I have many favorites but “The Church of the Long Run” is at the top of my long list. Second, Chris is willing to share with you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. Training for a marathon is hard and success requires a lot of big and little steps, many of which can be challenging. Although you might want to hear about “hacks” to running success he opens your mind and soul to the long-term adventure and goal building that running offers. Third, Chris is really easy to listen to when running. He mentioned on one podcast that a running mantra he used for one race was “Run Like Butter”. Well his voice and well organized presentations (with helpful recaps only the way) are smooth on the mind and listening capacity as your brain gets a little foggy on those long runs. Finally, a lot of running podcasts are a little generic in quality. They cover important running topics to be sure but not at the level of depth and analysis that Chris does. He feels like the coach, or the little angel on your shoulder, when you listen to him. If you have time or desire to listen to just one running podcast, this is the one you should listen to. After the MCM, I going to find out how to train with Rogue Running for my future running adventures.

Chris does a tremendous job with this podcast. Let’s be honest - the weekly topic of running could get very stale, but not here. He does a great job of keeping each episode very enjoyable with relatable tips that you can really apply to your own running. I love when he mixes in current events in...Read full review »

I used to listen to this podcast all the time, but the absence of a co-host has made the show a real snoozer. This podcast needs a new co-host and should move the doping conversations to Chris’s Clean Sport Collective show where Kara can keep things on track and be an effective foil for Chris.
