  • Disappointing

    Immature man child. The science is why I listened but the host is unprofessional and unhinged. I’ll find my running science elsewhere.

  • Informative an entertaining

    No-nonsense deep-dive into the real science behind running. I appreciate the host’s skepticism and wry sense of humor. The back catalogue regarding nutrition and training periodization is particularly helpful for all runners, not just trail amd uktra runners. It’s nice to listen to a non-sponsored podcast where the host isn’t afraid to challenge guests on nonsense!
