30 Best Ultra Running Podcasts to Listen to in 2025

Hey friends!

I wanted to take a moment to share something I’m incredibly grateful for…

This week, I found out that Run the Riot Podcast was listed #5 on Feedspot’s 30 Best Ultra Running Podcasts!

How cool is that??

You can check out the full list here: 30 Best Ultra Running Podcasts

I never started the podcast for recognition—I started it because I love this community and I’m fascinated by the stories behind the miles. That this little podcast has grown and connected with so many runners is honestly humbling. So thank you—for listening, for sharing, and for being a part of it.

I encourage you to check out the others on the list too! So much good content to consume on your long runs!

And speaking of powerful stories…

Have you heard Angela Smith’s episode yet?
Angela is an amazing ultrarunner, mom, and all-around strong human. In her first 100-mile finish at Prairie Spirit 100, she set a Kansas state record—finishing in under 16 hours!

But what really stood out wasn’t just her time—it was her heart, her faith, and her honest reflections on the journey.

Check it out here: EP172 – State Records & Stroller Runs: Angela Smith’s Record-Breaking Run at the Prairie Spirit 100!

Here’s what we dive into:

  • Fueling strategies: What worked, what didn’t, and how she dialed in her nutrition.
  • The mental game: How she stayed positive and pushed through when it got hard.
  • Training insights: Including strength training, and yes—stroller miles!
  • Balancing it all: How she juggles parenting, faith, and chasing big goals.

Angela’s story is a reminder that with purpose, support, and persistence, we’re capable of incredible things.

Thanks again for being here. Let’s keep lifting each other up and running strong.

On the Journey,
David
