  • Great Start

    Great start guys, I like how you cover a variety of topics in the running space from ultras to the Olympic marathon trials, from the specter of doping in this growing sport to the average runner wondering if they belong on the starting line. Simon and Brian are positive and supportive, and although they are clearly passionate about the sport, I appreciate that they don’t take themselves too seriously. Keep ‘em coming!

  • Great insight

    Halfway through the first episode and can say that I love the insight from just your everyday runner. It's nice to hear how others work in their training around just everyday life and family. The back and forth between Brian and Simon keeps you intrigued the entire episode.

    Keep the great content coming, guys!
