Heyy! I’m a high school XC runner and I’ve personally learned so much from this podcast!
It’s has been a joy to listen to on long runs, workouts, etc. Super inspirational and has great running/ life tips!
This podcast is truly for anyone, whether you’re a runner or not 🤗, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who comes across it (that’s you 😉) !
This podcast has followed the lead of others that now constantly flood my app with episodes of other podcasts they suggest that have little to nothing to do with this podcast. These aren’t podcasts they think I’ll like. These are podcast the company owns they want me to listen to.
First episode I listened to was #94. Those 4 mental tools are succinct and invaluable to running and life.
Sally, you have totally changed my life, the way you speak on things, always staying positive in a way that is real and raw and always spreading the good word and encouraging everyone with this podcast. I am a mother of 6 year old twins and am doing my first marathon in just 11 days! I’ll be doing the Chicago marathon and you have been an integral piece to me staying motivated and inspired to choose strong in all that I do. Thank you for being you and being a beacon for many.

I asked her about it and she said she got 80 miles in before she DNFed, but I was super impressed! I would never be able to do what she did and admired her strength. She suggested I listen to this podcast, and I am so glad I di... more
