Runners are the best storytellers. On The Runs podcast features running narratives from the
best of those storytellers. Whether hearing from a runner who started a year ago or 50 years ago, the
conversation is engaging, funny, and enlightening. Guest stories range from struggles to
outstanding achievements and everything in between … including “Code Brown” tales. “Code
Brown” situations are not what you might think. Guests share awkward & unique circumstances
they have found themselves in throughout their journey.

amongst friends leaving you feeling like you were there.
