    Ivy Insights

    The A to Z Running podcast is a fantastic podcast for runners of all levels. Hosted by Andi and Zach, the show covers a wide range of topics within the running community. From training tips to interviews with professional runners, they have something for everyone. I discovered the podcast after watching the Atlanta Olympic Trials and have been hooked ever since.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the variety of hosts and topics they cover. The hosts bring in guests who discuss issues that span the running community, giving listeners a well-rounded perspective on various aspects of the sport. Additionally, their "world in running" segment provides insight into lesser-known professionals, shedding light on their accomplishments and stories. It's a great way to learn about new athletes and hear different perspectives.

    Andi and Zach make a great team as hosts. They are knowledgeable about running but also keep the show flowing in an accessible and fun way. Their chemistry is evident, and they balance each other well during conversations with guests. The mix of running news with guest interviews is refreshing, as there aren't many places to hear regular updates on the sport.

    As for any potential downsides, it can be said that some episodes may not cater specifically to certain types of runners or focus heavily on marathoners. However, despite this minor drawback, there is still valuable content that can be applied to any type of runner.

    In conclusion, The A to Z Running podcast is an excellent resource for any runner looking for informative and entertaining content. With knowledgeable hosts who bring in world-class experts as guests, listeners are treated to a complete package filled with training advice, recovery tips, nutrition insights, life balance discussions, and more. Andi and Zach's passion for running shines through in every episode, making it an enjoyable experience from start to finish.
