    About

    The Strength Running Podcast treats you like a pro runner: we surround your with coaches, physical therapists, strength experts, elite runners, sports psychologists, and other thought leaders. We only have one goal: to help you run faster. Guests include world-class academics, clinicians, runners, coaches, and subject matter experts like David Roche, Victoria Sekely, Sally McRae, Zach Bitter, and hundreds more! We also publish coaching calls with Jason working directly with a runner chasing a big goal and course previews for major races like the New York City Marathon, the Boston Marathon, the Philadelphia Marathon, and the Marine Corps Marathon. You'll learn how to prevent injuries and become resilient to niggles and common overuse injuries, the best ways to structure marathon training and how to fuel for endurance races, how to improve your speed and ability to kick at the end of races, run more consistently, and make running a more sustainable part of your life. The Strength Running Podcast is hosted by Jason Fitzgerald, a 2:39 marathoner and USATF-certified running coach. He's a monthly columnist for Trail Runner Magazine and was previously Men's Running Magazine's Influencer of the Year. His coaching advice and running guidance has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Runner's World, Health Magazine, and most other major media.

    From Bodybuilder to Boston Qualifier: Can John Goldman Accomplish the Unreasonable?

    From Bodybuilder to Boston Qualifier: Can John Goldman Accomplish the Unreasonable?

    February 5, 2026
    1h 17m

    John Goldman is a former bodybuilder and currently the CEO of Rebel Health Alliance. After running a 5:13 marathon last December, he's not attempting the unreasonable: to qualify for Boston in a year.

    He enlisted the coaching of physiologist and ultra-endurance coach Alan Couzens to guide his training.

    This episode is a case study on how to accomplish unreasonable goals. How do you progress your fitness so you can run almost two hours faster in the marathon in only a year? What do you focus on? What is the correct order of what to focus on? How is his progress going after only two months?

    Follow along with his progress on X!
