Jeff is a great podcast host, and Free Outside rises to the top of the ultra landscape. Sometimes a little silly, always introspective, it strikes a nice balance between the pro perspective and the perspective of those of us who are just really good at working out.

His disdain for Satisfy culture (to be fair I am not a satisfy fan… I don’t want to pay $150 for a cotton T-shirt) his disdain for running influencers, and comparing social media influencers to political leaders is very cringe ... more
