In this episode of the Run Breiter Podcast, Sam and Colleen dive into a surprisingly real question that’s starting to gain traction in the endurance world:

Should running be part of the Winter Olympics?

With conversations emerging around the possible inclusion of cross-country running in future Winter Games , we explore what that could actually look like.

Would it mean snow running? Trail racing? Cross country on winter terrain?
Would it help grow the sport globally or take away from what makes the Winter Olympics unique?

Sam and Colleen break down:

• What defines a “winter sport”
• How running already overlaps with winter disciplines
• The potential formats that could make sense
• Whether this would grow the sport or create unnecessary noise

This is a fun, big-picture conversation about the future of endurance sport and where running fits in the evolving landscape of global competition

Welcome back to another episode of the Run Breiter Podcast.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve been getting our community moving in 2026 through monthly miles challenges.

This challenge is not about being the fastest or running the furthest. It’s about showing up, staying consistent, and being your best, with a little bit of luck mixed in.

I break down how the challenge works, the rules, how to sign up, and how this month’s $50 prize can turn into $100 toward the winner’s charity or fundraising effort of choice.

If you’re looking for extra motivation, accountability, and a reason to keep moving, this one’s for you. Tune in and let’s get after it.

Long runs are a cornerstone of endurance training, but they are also one of the most common reasons runners lose motivation or consistency.

In this episode of the Run Breiter Podcast, Sam and Colleen break down how to approach long runs in a way that keeps them engaging and sustainable, whether you are logging miles outside or stuck on the treadmill. They discuss common mistakes runners make, key mindset shifts, and how to reframe long runs as a productive part of the training process rather than something to simply get through.

This episode is for runners training for any distance who want to stay consistent, mentally sharp, and bought into the work when long runs start to feel monotonous.
