About This Podcast

Most conversations about running focus on performance.
Times. Results. The highlight reel.

Early Miles is a long-form conversation podcast about how runners are shaped over time, not just how they perform on race day.

Some episodes center on personal stories. Others dive deep with experts. And some are driven by questions from the running community.

Hosted by physical therapist and runner Steve Gonser, the show explores the early decisions, struggles, failures, pivots, and quiet habits that compound when no one is watching. From everyday runners to coaches, clinicians, and researchers, Early Miles sits at the intersection of storytelling, real conversation, and science-backed thinking you can actually apply.

If running is part of who you are, you’re in the right place.
