- From a Loyal Lady Listener
You don’t have to be a professional male runner to enjoy the seamless banter between Jacob and Rory! I always learn something in every episode—and usually laugh along the way, too. This is the podcast we didn’t know we needed. 🏃♀️🎙️

Apple Podcasts5canada_eventerCanada4 months ago - Not-so-hidden gem of a running podcast
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!
Apple Podcasts5Mary PagonesUnited States4 months ago - Week after week!
