Running is getting expensive, the group chat is making its way onto the mic, and apparently the dishes can wait.

This week, Courtney, Ian, and Mike catch up on training, race plans, balancing fitness with real life, and the ever-growing cost of being a runner. From there, the conversation gets deeper as we talk about safety, accountability, and the responsibility run clubs have to create spaces where people actually feel welcome and protected.

We also get into whether your favorite running shoes really matter as much as you think they do, respond to a listener Pace Check, and as usual, find plenty of ways to get completely off track along the way.

Running, community, life, and a little mess. Welcome back to The Runner’s Club Podcast!

The Runner's Club Podcast just got a little bigger.

This week, we're officially welcoming Mike Brown as our producer as we introduce a new format, new segments, and a fresh rhythm for the show.

We catch up on Courtney's postpartum return to running, Ian's focus on strength over marathon training, and why movement looks different in this season of life. We also dive into the difficult conversation around women's safety while running, celebrate a historic mile world record, and talk through the races we're eyeing next.

Whether you're training for your next PR, finding your way back to movement, or just here for the conversation, we're glad you're here.

Press play and come get these miles with us.

Intro by producer Dini - @dinibeats

This week, Courtney and Ian are figuring out what their relationships with running look like these days. Ian celebrates his first pain-free three miles after a knee injury, while Courtney finds her way back to running after pregnancy and embraces pilates, swimming, strength, and moving for life.

Then, naturally, things go left.

We get into GLP-1s, postpartum fitness, destination races, $400 Equinox memberships, the Enhanced Games, three-inch booty shorts, jiu-jitsu and, somehow, Thomas Jefferson.

Running may look a little different these days, but one thing hasn't changed: running will always be bae.

Press play and come get these miles with us.
