Singletrack

Finn Melanson is a sub-2:20 marathoner, Olympic Trials qualifier, and one of the most prolific interviewers in distance running. Singletrack releases several episodes a week, which means the archive now runs into the hundreds of conversations with pros, coaches, exercise physiologists, shoe designers, and everyday runners with a story worth telling. Finn is famous for doing his homework. He shows up with detailed notes on a guest's career, reads their published research, and asks follow-ups that steer interviews somewhere fresher than the usual podcast small talk. Expect long-form talks with Olympians and world-record holders alongside technical episodes on lactate testing, carbon-plate shoes, heat training, iron deficiency, and the science behind periodization. He also covers the pro circuit with race recaps and preview shows that treat track and road racing with the seriousness they deserve. The pace is steady, the curiosity is genuine, and the breadth is hard to match anywhere else in running media. If you want a smart, almost academic take on what it takes to run fast and stay healthy, Singletrack is the one to subscribe to.
