The Marathon Podcast
Hosted by Kristian Warwick
A Norwegian running podcast where host Kristian Everdell Warwick interviews athletes about their training process, mindset, and breakthrough performances.
This is an interview-driven podcast where the host, a runner himself, explores the stories behind other runners' careers. Episodes often use a single significant achievement—like a surprisingly fast debut or a comeback from injury—as a hook to unpack the training, mindset, and backstory that led to it. The host also sprinkles in solo episodes with personal training updates, race plan changes, and gear reviews.
“The show's focus on the "story behind the time" is its key differentiator. Unlike pure news or coaching shows, it uses a specific race or result as a narrative starting point to explore a guest's entire athletic journey and mindset.”

Hosted by Norwegian runner, filmmaker, and photographer Kristian Everdell Warwick, The Marathon Podcast features long-form conversations with runners about their journeys. Warwick, a sub-2:40 marathoner himself, explores training science, nutrition, gear, and the mindset required for endurance sports. The show caters to both established and aspiring runners, and one solo episode notes the host recently married and changed his last name.

What you'll be asked on this show
Kristian typically opens by asking guests to introduce themselves and their running background in their own words. He actively listens and builds his follow-up questions directly from their responses, often summarizing their points to confirm his understanding before probing deeper. He frequently explores the "before and after" of a key event or mindset shift, asking what changed or how an experience felt. The style is relaxed and conversational, allowing for informal banter, especially when he has a personal connection to the guest.
The format alternates between long-form guest interviews and solo host updates. Interviews are conversational and dig into the guest's personal history and motivations. Solo episodes are more reflective, with the host candidly sharing his own training struggles, race plans, and opinions on running technology.
