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.
So relatable and love to listen!!
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
This is the absolute best podcast to listen to if you’re a runner, aspiring runner, or training for any upcoming race! Coach Taylor is my favorite host
