"I’d like to introduce you to Running on Substack a place generously created and hosted by Jenn Woltjen. Jenn noticed that Substack didn’t have a category for running, and rather than wait for Substack to notice this, she took action! Jenn designed Running on Substack which acts as a directory listing, so readers who run may access all their favourite Substack Running publications, listed by category and alphabetically. What a gift! To see a need and serve others, is for me is the epitome of generosity. Thank you, Jenn for creating this wonderful directory and for listing EAT TO RUN. I hope you enjoy exploring Running on Substack and finding new writers to inspire your running adventures. "

Welcome to the August edition of Running on Substack - with features making it easier to find your favorite running Substackers.

Inside you will find those who get inspired by the activity of running - those who run on the road and the track - those who run long and on the trails. You will find those who build communities of runners - running groups, the media and the business of running. You will find those who coach runners and those who study the physiology of running. Finally, you will discover many who love to “just” write about running.

Step into a space where passion meets persistence - and let the stories of fellow runners move you.
