What is Running on Substack?

Finding running-themed newsletters on Substack can be challenging because there is no dedicated “Running” category. As a result, readers often miss out on discovering great publications. It’s taken me a long time to find Substack newsletters focused on running and running-related topics - such as road running, trail running, physiology, ultra running, strength training, running gear and similar topics.

I want to make it easier for readers like you to find great running newsletters on Substack.

That’s where the Running on Substack comes in.

Coming in December

Running on Substack is a curated directory of running-related Substack newsletters. The Running on Substack directory focuses solely on running and running-related subjects, making it a convenient destination that simplifies your search.

Running on Substack will initially list publications alphabetically as posted but I plan to include categories to make browsing easier for you.

What do I mean by running-related?

The plan is to include newsletters covering the following topics:

Road running
Trail running
Ultra running
Running physiology
Triathlons
Stage races (multi-day races)
Running nutrition
Strength training for runners
Mental skills for runners
Technology for running (wearables, etc)
Gear for running
Running support groups (clubs, organizations)
