S2:E23 | Should running be in the Winter Olympics?

In this episode of the Run Breiter Podcast, Sam and Colleen dive into a surprisingly real question that’s starting to gain traction in the endurance world:

Should running be part of the Winter Olympics?

With conversations emerging around the possible inclusion of cross-country running in future Winter Games , we explore what that could actually look like.

Would it mean snow running? Trail racing? Cross country on winter terrain?
Would it help grow the sport globally or take away from what makes the Winter Olympics unique?

Sam and Colleen break down:

• What defines a “winter sport”
• How running already overlaps with winter disciplines
• The potential formats that could make sense
• Whether this would grow the sport or create unnecessary noise

This is a fun, big-picture conversation about the future of endurance sport and where running fits in the evolving landscape of global competition
