How Was Your Run Today?
you burn more calories laughing while running!
Starting with a simple question, “How was your run today?”, this podcast has grown from a conversation between two back-of-the-pack marathon finishers to a dedicated community of listeners and guests eager to laugh and learn more about the world’s simplest sport. Hosts Peter Villa and Bryan Gould pair humorous storytelling with wide-ranging (and family-friendly) interviews with notable guests, including marathon winners, Olympians, running coaches, doctors, authors, podcast hosts, ultrarunners, filmmakers, the occasional indie rock star, Santa Claus and many fellow back-of-the-pack running friends.
