The Running Rules Podcast helps you, the middle of the pack runners transform your training, nail your nutrition and master your mindset so you can run 5ks to ultramarathons faster, stronger and more confidently. The podcast is hosted by me, Alan Ladd, a running coach, nutritionist and 2:45 marathoner from Northern Ireland. I take a holistic approach focusing on training, nutrition, mindset and lifestyle using the experiences of both my coaching clients and me as well as science backed recommendations.
