  • Listen up!

    Brilliant podcast. Have been listening to Marcus since 2020. Marcus is an excellent Podcaster, informative and modest in his running achievements.

    Really love the recent episodes with Phil, Rob and CJ. Only getting to know them but really enjoying listening to their marathon journeys, stories, Jordans - the banter has me chuckling…deep at times too.

    Great variety of guests. Looking forward to more of that!

  • Must listen

    This podcast is on the shortlist of never-deletes. I would listen to the whole podcast even if Marcus was interviewing a dead squirrel. He doesn’t interview dead squirrels - he has great guests - that’s just how much I enjoy his approach.
