Episode 82 of The Final Sprint Podcast, the most listened to running podcast in North America, features my interview with Steve Walker (known to the running community as “Steve Runner”); host and producer of the hit audio show “Phedippidations” and virtual training partner for runners around the world! As Timothy Sprinkle described in the September 2007 issue of Runner’s World Magazine:

Phedippidations is “… a running-centric podcast that combines inspiring profiles (Jesse Owens and Canadian Terry Fox), music … and on-the-scene midpack race reports from events like the Boston and Philadelphia marathons) … [Steve] makes a great running buddy … record[ing] many of his shows while running and wearing a microphone.”

His unique show has and continues to inspire a plethora of runners to run their first marathon and Steve serves as a knowledgeable, funny, creative and motivating running buddy for his tens of thousands of monthly listeners.

Download the podcast to hear Steve discuss his “Phedippidations” podcast, how it works, how his concept originated and evolved, advice/tips, inspiring tales, why any driven runner can complete a marathon, and much more!
