- Here for the laughs
Tara and Arlee are the podcast duo who bring the banter, chit chat, questions and have that genuine connection that makes you feel like you’re right there with them.

And yes, Tara, your description of what a chaotic person was unfortunately ve... more

I may DNF my first 100 in Vermont this summer but I can promise you I will never DNF an episode of this podcast.

United States16 days ago Tara and Arlee are a joy to listen to. On the Pod they laugh, joke - but also convey some great messages! I can't wait for new episodes to hear what DNF does NOT mean this week. They are both the type of person you want on your crew.
Podcast Addict52 months agoRussell252- So happy I found this pod
I found this pod through Des’ page and can’t believe I haven’t found it sooner! Such a huge fan of Tara’s and can’t wait to listen and learn more from the both of you and your guests. I consider myself a “retired” trail runner (I laugh at that because I’m generally last or near last to finish and honestly I’ve just gotten too scared to fall these days) - but who knows maybe this pod will bring me out of retirement. Looking forward to more episodes. Thanks!
