Listened to the episode today about running in the heat in prep for a race - this was SO HELPFUL! Thank you! Great podcast .
Hi
Any runner would benefit from the insight on this pod - and it’s entertaining along the way too!
Discovered this podcast a few months ago and it really changed my running, helped me hit new PRs and teaches me so much. I look forward to new episodes that keep me company on long training runs and keep me entertained the whole way. I highly recommend this Pod.
Good stuff! Thanks for your coverage. One recommendation: give us a run down of the race in your instant reaction pod. Break the race down a bit more and describe where the athletes were at certain points in the race. Thanks!
