164: 2016 Top Episodes

It was a ton of fun looking at the number of downloaded podcast episodes released in 2016 and looking at the trends in terms of what runners like to hear most. To make things fair, I used two analytical ways of calculating the stats—straight number of downloads and also weighted values. There was even a competition in the private TRLS Facebook group where people guessed the most downloaded episode, and no one guessed correctly! What was fun was that people weren’t even close! Runner’s World calls Meb Keflezighi the most influential person in running, but based on the number of downloads at The Running Lifestyle Show, high school running coach Chris Ramsey is!
