About this podcast
Running talk at a conversational pace. New episodes every Wednesday with runners of all kinds — sharing stories, lessons, and laughs from the road.
Based in Boston, The Zone 2 Podcast started as a passion project while Francis and Brian trained for their first marathons. Since then, it's grown into a platform for conversations with voices from across the running community — from brand reps and run club founders to coaches, pro athletes, and more.
