  • Disappointed by the Switch from English to Swedish

    I understand that it’s hard to speak English when your native language is Swedish, but it’s really hard to understand—even though I speak Danish. It’s truly a shame, as I used to listen to your podcast as a reward after my Wednesday intervals at 5 AM.

    That being said, best of luck. You’re great personalities!

  • One of the best

    New running podcast, but one of the best. Binged all episodes over Christmas. Lots of useful info, insights into running community but also great chat.
