  • With Run2PB it is better with running

    Boy oh boy, came here when I joined Run2PB though many said go to IRP. However, when you come here it feels like home. The Run2PB community is spread far and wide, the athletes ability is just as broad. However, the connection between runners and coaches is unparalleled here. The hosts are phenomenal, whether it’s the journey of a runner or getting hit with Chrissos quick fire questions, you’ll find a reason to stay for more.

  • Underrated

    I came over from IRP to check this out and ended up staying. Chris and Zacca have a great rapport and the Chasing that Feeling with Elise was 10/10 content...most underrated running pod series getting around. Look forward to Elise 2.0

  • ‘Chasing that feeling’ is a fantastic series

    Love your work guys. It’s been awesome to listen to Elise’s preparation of late and the questions from Zacca and Chris are always very considered and prompt some great answers.

    Also, I completely agree with Chris’s thoughts regarding the latest Parkrun changes. The next thing to go will be the celebration of 50, 100, 250+ parkrun milestones because that might deter and intimidate first timers!… 😤
