How the quiz picks

Each show in our guides has one main focus (road, trail and ultra, pro and track, training and science, injury and health, or community and life), a format we've described from its episodes, and a typical episode length worked out from its own feed. Your answers score each show on those three things, and the three highest scores come up. Nobody pays to appear here, and the picks don't depend on chart position.

The length match uses the middle (median) length of each show's recent episodes, so you can finish one in a single run.
