Love the insight to elites and willingness to give honest takes and advice
This podcast is a true delight-thoughtful, articulate opinionated pro runners giving a view of the sport it’s hard to get elsewhere. The hosts are also fantastic interviewers who let their guests speak but who also ask challenging and provoking questions.
They remarked they have a lower female listenership-FWIW, I’m a woman and really appreciate the spotlight they have put on women runners in their interviews!
Really glad to have found Out and Back through the Life in Stride podcast. JT and Rory offer a great mix of humor and insights. I consume a ton of running content Out and Back is always at the top of my list every week.
Always some really good nuggets of info and perspective + refreshingly entertaining! Great hosts, guests, and segments. Keep it rolling fellas!
New listener when you joined SandyBoy Productions and I’m hooked. Great content, banter, and discussion of all things running. Thanks for making the miles fly by! Sincerely, another Lady Listener
