  • Informative and inspiring!

    Rob and Becs, love the podcast, it’s really my weekly dose of inspiration and gets me so pumped up about NYRR and beyond. I really feel connected to the running community every time I listen. Was great to hear about how well TFK is doing and how much growth they’ve seen. I think a great topic for a future session would be lifting the curtain and getting a behind the scenes on TFK operations with Jeremie Kasmarcak and team, who have done so much to make it so successful.

    Thank you for producing... more

  • Still pretty good.

    I still enjoy listening to this, although I miss Meb. He was so relatable in a way that Becs just isn’t. But maybe she just needs time to warm up to her role.

  • New Inspired Review

    I listened to the 8/1 and 7/25 episodes after recently discovering this podcast. Very inspirational stories on the 8/1 podcast that had me paying close attention. The $/25 episode resonated because I train and run alone. It was beneficial to hear and garner insights from another. I look forward to going back and playing more episodes. Thanks!
