  • Why didn’t you tell me?!!

    I must have fallen into an alternate reality or into a multi-year coma… how have I only NOW found this podcast. Great topics that balance practical guidance and real topics that the “every-athlete” can relate to. 10/10 would recommend to you, your friends, and training partners! Hell… even your grandparents might dig it! Share it!

  • Informative and Enjoyable

    Really enjoying the podcast, as a Masters athlete you’re getting me to more deeply consider my goal setting and planning than I have before - taking the rose tinted glasses off and being more practical and strategic! So much so, that I’m now reading your book :-) Thanks for the great content!

Besides the fact that it is often crack-the-F-up funny, they give relatable and… almost empathetic advice on training (???) They surely have high performing athletes that they advise and coach, but they also provide really wonderful content for those middling-age Dads with kids, jobs, marriages (etc). They respect the time limits and constraints and I really find it inspiring/motivating. When I’m really not... more
