- Inspiring!
Found this podcast while training for my first marathon, which is taking place in about 2 weeks in Chicago. Love the mixed bag of results. I find that super inspiring as not everyone is going to have a good race, but yet, they’ll fight to finish.

I’m not even ready to run a marathon yet but this podcast is making me think I could some day! I am a runner though and listen to it for motivation. I love the structure of it too, I know what’s going to be talked about and that makes it feel comforting.

I'm currently training for my first marathon in Oct, after never having been a runner or liking running; I've done a 5k before! 🤣 I love hearing everyone's stories! Although I don't hear a lot of couch to marathon stories (for good reason I'm sure 🤣🤣) I love everyone's insights! 10/10
