Finn Melanson on Creating a Running Lifestyle That Truly Fits Your Goals

People always ask me what my favorite podcasts are. And there’s always one that comes right to mind: The Singletrack Podcast. Covering all of the best athletes, hottest topics, and gripping race analysis on some of the most marquee events, Singletrack has grown to one of the biggest podcasts in the sport of trail running.

And today, we have on the man behind the brand, Finn Melanson.

Finn Melanson is the host of the Singletrack Podcast and runs all of the content behind the Singletrack brand. He currently manages Singletrack as his full-time career and is super passionate about adding valuable insights to the trail running community. He has an extensive background in endurance, as he’s thru-hiked the AT, competed in many ultras, and continues to run and race to this day.

But what really makes Finn an amazing guest to listen to is his philosophy, approach, and mindset when it comes to running. Especially when it comes to finding the best way to mold running into your lifestyle.

In this episode, Finn breaks down how he started Singletrack, how you can structure your running in a way that best fits your true path in life, how he went full-time managing Singletrack, and what his biggest trends he sees ahead for the sport of running.

This was truly one of my favorite episodes as it’s super cool to interview a fellow (and one of my favorite) podcasters in the space.

Huge thank you to Finn for making this happen!
