The Zone 2 Podcast
Podcast Description
In our mid-20s, we had a choice to make: get married, earn a master's degree, or run a marathon. So here we are. Join Francis and Brian as we learn all there isn't to know about training for our first 26.2 milers and beyond. New episodes every Wednesday morning.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The show explores various aspects of running, including training tips, personal stories, and interviews with running enthusiasts, such as discussions on women's running and brand ambassadorship in Episode 2 featuring Cate Schultz, as well as the dynamics of balancing personal life with marathon training.

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.
