United States2 months ago - The opener!
Love love love this podcast but what happened to the opener?? The clips from the marathon?? It was so inspiring and literally my favorite podcast opener. I genuinely really miss it!!!
Apple Podcasts5Liya-DaviUnited States10 months ago - 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
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.
