Welcome back to The Marathon Podcast. On this episode we have Ryan Smith on.
 
Ryan is a 25-year-old based in Boston who ran a stunning 2:15:52 marathon debut at the Vermont City Marathon, winning the race and, almost as a surprise to himself, securing the Olympic Trials Qualifier (OTQ) standard. A Division 3 college runner who had been steadily chipping away at his PRs in the years since graduation, Ryan's breakthrough came after bouncing back from a stress fracture and committing to a short but smart "mini marathon block."

In this conversation, host Kristian digs into what made Ryan's debut so remarkable: lower-than-expected mileage (~75–80 miles/week plus cross-training), a double threshold training approach, intensity controlled by feel rather than heart rate or lactate testing, and the philosophy of always erring on the slower side of effort. Ryan is candid about his injury history, the mental side of racing alone, and what it felt like to cross the finish line not quite believing the clock.

Welcome to The Marathon Podcast! 

A podcast for established runners, future runners, and people interested in running. In this running podcast, we will mainly focus on everything running. Science, nutrition, training, gear, and much more.


When I first created my running platforms, Herm Runs was one of the first people I started following. With a big voice in the running community, I've found his content to be inspiring. Regardless of our different goals as runners, he is very relatable. 

In this episode we are talking about how Herm found running, how it has changed his life and how he himself keeps on changing other people's lives with his running content. 


Herm recently started working with Adidas, and we are obviously talking about how that came to be and what that is like. 


This is one of those episodes where I am really hoping that a lot of people will listen to it, because of the impact it can have.

Felicia Pasadyn shocked herself and everyone else when she ran an incredible 2:35 in NY last weekend. With that she placed 14th and qualified for the Olympic Time Qualifiers. 

Although everyone can see the results of her training, few can imagine what her training looks like. This is the most untraditional training method I've ever heard about.

#174 Relisten: Jimmy Whelan - From Pro Cycling to Elite Running & His First Marathon03 juin 202601:22:59

Relisten to one of the most popular episodes of The Marathon Podcast:

How does an athlete go from professional cycling to elite distance running — in less than a year?

In this episode of The Marathon Podcast, Jimmy Whelan joins the show to discuss his remarkable transition from WorldTour-level cycling to professional running. After years racing internationally with EF, Jimmy stepped away from cycling — and within a year ran a sub-30 10K and a 61-minute half marathon, earning his place as a professional runner.


We talk about the differences between cycling and running, how aerobic fitness transfers, what surprised him most about running training, and how he’s preparing for his first-ever marathon. This is a fascinating look at elite endurance performance, adaptation, and what’s possible when world-class fitness meets a new discipline.


A must-listen for runners, cyclists, and endurance athletes curious about cross-training, aerobic development, and marathon potential.

Welcome back to The Marathon Podcast. On this episode we have Dani Barrett on. This is how she describes herself as a racer:
 
Just like any runner, I have good and bad races, but the common denominator is that I bring an attitude of seizing the opportunity to race to every start line. Remembering that racing is the fun part is a key to success, and I’ve had my best days when I enter with this mindset! Some racing highlights for me have been the NCAA Track and Field National Championships, where I finished as the 11th-fastest 10k runner in the nation with a time of 33:07 and became a Division 1 All-American. I also ran my first marathon in December of 2025 and qualified for the Olympic Trials in 2:34. I can’t wait to run another one! Some other highlights have been becoming an NCAA Conference Champion in the 5k and 10k, and a collegiate team title in cross country.

In all my best races, I used tools I learned working with a Sports Psychologist that I want to share with the athletes I coach! If you want to learn all of the mental preparation, visualization, race planning, and journaling techniques that have gotten me these results, let’s work together!

Welcome back to The Marathon Podcast. On this episode we have Francesco Ranchi on, and here's what he posted on reddit a few days ago:
 
Started running 8 months ago when I was 130kg (but back then I wasn’t running I could only walk ), now I dropped to 87kg with pure hard work and training and 2 days ago I managed to run my first marathon here in Trieste!

I only ran 21km during training as time was really tight for me. The first half was as predicted reaching the half marathon in 2 hours and 15 minutes, I then stopped at an aid station where there was a good looking lady and drank too much and ate too many bananas and apples while having a chat with her…never regretted having talked to a girl this much… threw up after 1km, got to the next aid station really dehydrated and from then on everything I would eat/drink I would throw up. Ran the last 21km in 4 hours with terrible cramps, headaches. Walked for 10km but somehow I got a second wind and was able to run at 8min/km for the remaining 12km. Threw up about 6 times in the last 21km, including the exact moment where I crossed the finish line at 6 hours 30 seconds (officially arrived last out of 600), and I even got live in the local news while throwing up my soul crossing the finish line , but coming where I came from physically and mentally, I’m proud I pushed trough and did what once I was convinced to be impossible.

Eric Floberg needs no introduction. He just ran a 2:29 marathon, and he is now a sub-elite marathoner. But how did he get here? What changes did he made in this block?


In this episode we are touching on body image, content creation, balancing work and running, and being okay with things not being perfect.

George Grassly was running 30K a week and working long days as an accountant in London when he decided to enter the London Marathon. A year and a half later, he crossed the finish line in 2:12:54, winning the mass race and finishing 10th Brit overall.

In this episode, George talks about going from a casual runner to a 200K-a-week athlete while keeping his full-time job, what changed between his 2:21 debut and his 2:12 breakthrough, and why training with faster people was the single biggest unlock. He also takes us inside race day at London, and having to negotiate his way to getting a finisher's medal.

Whether you're chasing a PR or just trying to fit running around a busy life, George's story is proof that your goals might be more realistic than you think.

On this episode of The Marathon Podcast, we have Michael Hartnagel on. He is better know as Daily Mile Project on Instagram, where he is keeping his running streak with his late father.

Ralph Edward Hartnagel III — husband, father, grandpa, teacher, and coach - was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2017. Through over 100 rounds of treatment across a six-year battle, his unwavering attitude became a beacon for everyone around him. His mantra was simple: "Stay Positive."

 

In 2023, we founded Metastatic Mission to carry on his legacy, spread his "Stay Positive" mantra, and support others battling cancer.

From Tracksmith's website:

Maria Luevano-Salazar was born in Mexico, the eighth of nine siblings. Moving with her family to the United States at 13, Maria graduated with an advanced degree in Bilingual Education and is now Vice-President for Mission at a Jesuit Catholic high school.

Married with four children, Maria found running as an adult, running her first sub-four marathon in 2017, and breaking three in 2023 with support from the community at 3Run2.


"I approach running with commitment and consistency, and I also hope to pass that passion along to the next generation. I coach cross country and work to help young athletes—especially girls-find their love for running and a sense of belonging in the sport."

Conor Stone is a runner, more known for mindfulness teaching. His podcast, The Mindful Minute, has over 1 million plays and 14k followers on Spotify. The most popular episodes are both 'Mindful Running' episodes. 


Most people, including myself, mostly focus on times when running and racing, but I think the most enjoyable are when we focus on being present. Some people do this naturally, but others need support with anchoring themselves into the present as they move. This can be through breathing patterns, body scanning, and sense activation (focus on what you can hear, see, smell, taste, etc). "
