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.

I discovered this podcast a few months ago, and now it’s part of my weekly routine. Really enjoy the different topics and discussions from training tips to following the elite runners. Keep up the good work!
