Tread Lightly Running Science Podcast

Amanda Brooks, Laura Norris

Booking Overview

An evidence-based running and sports-science show focused primarily on marathon training, performance, fueling, recovery, and injury prevention, with occasional interviews featuring qualified specialists. Credible pitches include registered dietitians, exercise physiologists, sports-medicine clinicians, running researchers, and experienced coaches with evidence-based expertise; booking difficulty is low because the show is largely host-led and its guest bar favors accessible subject-matter experts rather than major public figures.
