As a runner in my mid-fifties the content on this pod seems to speak directly to me! I love all of guests and info. Keep it coming.

As a student with an exercise science degree who is now perusing their doctoral of Physical Therapy degree, I am always looking to learn more about exercise and the body. I grew up being an athlete but was never able to run more than 2 miles up until 2 years ago. I slowly began to increase my mileage and now have run 2 half marathons. Before my first, I wasn’t sure what I was doing and really just signed up for the race because I had been running so much. I continued to run and once I realized I had been improving and my long runs were feeling easier, I started taking it a little more seriously and came across this podcast. Because of this podcast, I grew tremendously in my confidence in structuring my training weeks, understanding the why behind certain workouts, focusing more on my nutrition and ensuring I was providing my body with the proper fuel, and an endless amount of other ways. All summer, this was the podcast I would go to for my long runs and my two favorite episodes that I listened to on repeat going into my second half marathon were how to prepare for your half marathon and what to do immediately following your half marathon. I truly believe these two episodes transformed my pre race, race, and post race. I PRd by 17 minutes and felt AMAZING right after and the days to follow! Duane Scotti is also very willing to speak with listeners and is a welcoming presence!

As a passionate runner, I’ve listened to lots of running related podcasts. The professional PT guidance and encouragement to work through injuries is unmatched! Thank you!!

Just recently discovered this and I’m so glad I did! It’s very informative for the everyday adult runner looking to improve and stay healthy and motivated, and also very entertaining.

This podcast has become my favorite running podcast since I learned about it a few months ago. As a mid-life runner who’s had my share of injuries, I find the educational content on injury prevention priceless. The podcast is very accessible to runners of a wide range of experience, whether you’re just starting out with running or a multi-season marathoner. As a public health scientist I also appreciate Dr. Scotti’s approach to bringing in evidence from physical therapy and exercise science, communicated in a way that is easy to understand and balanced with warmth and encouragement for all who want to benefit from running, whether for stress relief, physical health, or performance goals. I love hearing from the different coaches on the Spark Healthy Runner team- they’re all so knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Thanks for providing such a great resource for all runners!

The right mix of technical information explaining why these techniques work without diving into medical terminology or too much detail. The podcasts gives me practical tips to improve my running as well as strengthen to remain injury free. I really appreciate the teams skillsets and the guests who bring new techniques and ideas. Fantastic listen on those long runs on improving!

As an older middle-aged runner looking for some structure and accountability in my training plans, I am so glad I found the Healthy Runner Podcast and the Spark Healthy Runner coaching team. Duane Scotti shares practical running information in a friendly, relatable way. His guest experts are also terrific, and I always come away with improved knowledge about how to keep my love of running fresh and inspired. He also keeps it real when it comes to injuries, common mindsets of runners, and busy lives. This podcast approaches running as something everyone can enjoy and improve on - what a wonderful find! Tune in on your next run and you won’t regret it.

Im at the beginning of my running journey and just discovered this podcast. I’ve gotten so much more clarity on a variety of topics that I couldn’t get anywhere else! I don’t typically listen to podcasts but this is the one I’ve started to listen to on my long runs and there’s golden nuggets in every episode I’ve listened to so far. I’ve been sharing healthy runner podcast with all my running friends because it is a treasure trove of information for runners.

Duane Scotti is a blessing to the running community. His podcasts are full of helpful advice as well as instruction in how to put the recommendations into practice. What I love most though is his understanding of how important it is for injured runners to have hope that they can and will be able to run again someday. His podcasts always leave me encouraged that even as an older runner, currently struggling with injuries, there will come a day when I am back out on the roads again and enjoying the gift that it is to be able to run!

I love the information the host shares for “every day” runners. He’s also very responsive and replies to questions— thank you so much !!
