United Statesa month ago - Amazing Pod, Questionable Parenting
I listen to this podcast together with my 10 year old competitive and slightly perfectionistic daughter. We giggle together as she hopefully absorbs the value of trying hard things, even when you epically bottom out. Such a great listen -- maybe not actually age appropriate for the 10 year old, but the benefits far outweigh any risk to her innocent ears in my view. Highly recommend!!!
Apple Podcasts5Eve_FruUnited Statesa month ago - Binging the DNF Diaries!
Wow, listening to Tara and Arlee always puts a huge smile on my face and I always laugh out loud several times. The nicest and funniest duo on the podcast scene. Kinda makes me want to DNF something so they could read my story.

I have the biggest crush on this pod. Arlee and Tara, you guys are such amazing storytellers. I love how this space normalizes the tough moments in big (and small) efforts. Love the laughter and the realness!

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. Their experience on trail running, ultras and FKT comes through effortlessly, but never at the expense of a good laugh, especially when things go sideways.
The bear spray episode (it’s me, I’m the Sara) absolutely captures the tru essence of my chaos.
And yes, Tara, your description of what a chaotic person was unfortunately ve... more
