The RunSensible Podcast

Ep-070 of the Podcast is now live and available for download on all platforms! In today’s episode, I talk about one of the most overlooked yet most important parts of marathon training: recovery protocols. Running miles builds stress, but real progress comes from how well we recover. I break down the essentials—from the role of quality sleep and post-run fueling, to active recovery routines, mobility work, and the truth about recovery gadgets like massage guns and compression boots. I also dive into the mental side of recovery and how to structure rest days and down weeks into your training plan. If you’ve ever felt sluggish, constantly sore, or like you’re not adapting to the training load, this episode will give you a clear framework for recovering smarter, not just harder. Listen in, recover well, and set yourself up for marathon success!

Ep 069 of the Podcast is now live and available for download on all platforms! In today’s episode, I talk about junk miles — what they are, why they might be slowing down your progress, and how to make sure every run you log has a purpose. We’ll break down the “gray zone” in training, explore the science of fatigue versus adaptation, and share practical tips to avoid wasting time (and energy) on miles that don’t help you get faster, fitter, or stronger. Whether you’re chasing a marathon PR or simply want to train smarter, this conversation will help you run with intention and see better results.

Sure! Here's a podcast description you can use: Ep-068 of the podcast is now live and available for download on all platforms. In this episode, we dive deep into the controversial and complex world of doping in sport. From elite endurance athletes to high-profile tennis stars, we unpack the layers behind performance enhancement, public suspicion, and the evolving science of detection. We begin with Ruth Chepng'etich, a dominant force in marathon running whose astonishing performances have raised eyebrows and questions. Then, we shift focus to the Tour de France, where cycling’s long and complicated relationship with doping continues to shape public trust. We also touch on rising tennis star Jannik Sinner, exploring why discussions around clean sport are now circling even the new generation of athletes. Throughout the episode, we examine the process — how anti-doping agencies operate, the limits of testing, and the gray areas of legality and ethics. And we don’t shy away from the problem: systemic pressures, cultural silence, and the gap between what we want to believe and what may actually be happening. Tune in for a frank, thought-provoking look at one of sport's most enduring issues.
