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
Apple Podcasts5JJGonzozUnited Statesa year ago - 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.

Apple Podcasts5missymooblerUnited Statesa year ago - 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!
