Access iRunFar’s Interviews

Every year iRunFar publishes more than a hundred video interviews with top runners at some of the world’s most competitive trail races and ultramarathons. Did you know you can access these in a variety of ways?

View in Articles (with Transcripts)
The most common way to access iRunFar’s video interviews is directly via iRunFar.com. You can do so by heading over to our homepage if we’re covering a race, by heading directly to our video interviews anytime, or be informed every time we publish a video interview by subscribing to iRunFar via email or RSS as described above.

The website is also the only place where you’ll find full transcripts of each and every video interview we publish. In general, we publish each video interview as soon as we can and, later, add the transcript once one of our amazing transcriptionists completes their work. Generally, this is within 24 hours of publication. Occasionally, it’s a bit longer.

View on YouTube
Not surprisingly, we publish all of our video interviews on iRunFar’s YouTube channel. Head over there and click the big red subscribe button on the right side under the banner to, well, subscribe.

Listen to Audio-Only Versions
The audio-only version of our interviews might be the least-known aspect of what we do. Now, to be clear, we’re not a podcast, nor do we intend to be. However, you can listen to the full audio-only version of each of our video interviews. You can download these audio-only versions on Apple Podcasts, SpotifyStitcher, Google Play MusicOvercastFMPlayerFM, our “podcast” page, and as an RSS feed.
