  • Major help in my life

    To make a long story short, I was in the military and in a dark place in my life. But hearing Sally and Eddy helped me through that time. Since leaving the service, I have since come out of that darkness, completed my first ultra (a 50 miler), and am here on earth to see my children and wife grow older. Thank you for all you do. God bless.

  • Great for long runs!

    This is my new favorite podcast. Sally and Eddie are an awesome team. Really interesting and inspiring, but also super easy to listen to. Hard to comprehend the incredible toughness and athleticism that Sally continues to demonstrate in her career, but at the same time so relatable to all runners no matter the distance or speed. Thanks Sally and Eddie!

  • Love!

    I was listing to the latest episode when I finally PR’d my half marathon time. I have been stuck at 2:21 for a year and I finally broke it with a 2:00:53. You guys are so motivating especially in those times when that devil on your shoulder whispers it’s ok to slow down or walk or stop. My dad died from cancer just over 3 years ago and that’s when I started running more seriously. I got the app and followed the 50k program (ambitious I know) and I went from barely a 5k runner who had to walk mu... more
