Rory and Jt always keeping it real!
I highly enjoyed watching along with Rory building into his last couple majors on youtube. So naturally had to tune in and listen. It's been fun to hear the banter and some great guests. Keep it it up fellas!
This pod is easily digestible, relatable, entertaining, and informative. No frills. Just a couple dudes who know about running talking about running with some good guests.
More than a slick mullet, these guys are living the pro athlete life and sharing the insights of their training with fun stories and sass for the rest of us runners to enjoy. They banter just like you and your buddies do on a Sunday long run
Listening to Jacob and Rory talk about all things running, is the best, getting first hand information, experience, knowledge from two guys were are living the pro running life. Love the post race breakdowns! Great work guys!
