  • Audio Quality

    I like the content, but the audio and sound quality isn’t optimal. Gault always sounds like he is in the Tube when he is speaking, same with the Jo Bros from time to time.

  • Important!

    RoJo said his son asked if he had an important job. And then he proceeded to identify what he considered important jobs. Doctor was on that list. As an urgent care doctor, please know when I come home from a busy demanding chaotic shift, putting on a let’s run podcast and going for a jog is a hugely beneficial and important distraction from my important job. I love my job and I was born to do it. One of the factors that keeps me loving that job is engaging in hobbies. My favorite hobby - listeni... more

  • The best podcast for serious running fans

    Put simply if you’re a serious fan of competitive track and field or road running, there is no better podcast out there! Gault and the BroJos cover every topic, have depths of knowledge, and love a good bit of banter or a searing hot take. The athlete interviews are also second to none going way beyond the usual, basic questions. Again, this is head and shoulders above any other running podcast!

  • Have Some Enthusiasm!

    I have tried listening to this podcast a couple of times, but the amount of dead air in between people talking makes me think something is wrong with the podcast. The complete lack of enthusiasm and monotone voices when they’re talking about everything doesn’t make me excited to listen to the podcast either. It’s like they’re reading off of a script. Show some excitement for running and that will make me excited to hear what you’re saying.

Yaseen Abdalla: The fastest American half marathoner ever: he started out trying to break 4:40 in the mile by posting on the LetsRun.com forums
Q: What is your training philosophy, how did you land on it?
Abdalla favors simple, effort-based marathon training, including double-threshold sessions and progressive runs. He adjusts duration, pace, and threshold intensity rather than prescribing fixed paces for every workout.

Q: So first question, are you the American record holder in the half marathon?

RIP Coach Gags, Can Almgren Win New York? Yaseen Abdalla faster than Conner Mantz
Q: How did Gagliano learn what workouts to prescribe despite not having been a distance runner?
Speirs thought Gagliano learned from other coaches and from experience, and said his strength was adapting training to each athlete. He added that Gagliano's ability to motivate runners and get their minds right was as important as the workouts.

Q: What stood out to you about Gagliano's coaching during your first season at Rutgers?
