LEGWORK

Thoughtfully exploring the unseen efforts that move the sport of running forward.

Every runner has had a question they didn’t quite know how—or who—to ask.

How do I train smarter in the heat?
What does a crew actually do in an ultra
How do I keep a running club going past one season?
How can we recruit and retain more women coaches?

We’ve asked those questions too. LEGWORK is a podcast created to explore these questions, and to celebrate the unseen efforts that keep the sport of running moving forward. We go behind the scenes with club leaders, race directors, and running community organizers to uncover the work that keeps us on the roads and trails. We talk to coaches to understand the evolving science of how we train, and we recognize the effort built into all the miles that come before we lace up for the starting line.

What matters isn’t always visible. Explore what lies beyond the shortcuts.
