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.

Three Ten to You, Ma

Bryan may have over done it this week. Peter has under done it and has a toy show this weekend. Voice Memos are in! Mary in Maine asks about all of our “Whys” and we must all answer. Then Bryan shows Peter a photo and a serious discussion ensues. Warning: this gets heavy. Leave it to Michael Goff to lighten the mood. Then we hear from Kelly in North Carolina and plans her big run for June. Which leads right into Bryan and Peter’s announcement about their next big project for the summer, B&P’s ICP 2026!
