  • No thanks

    Used to like it, but unsubscribed now due to Finn’s backwards antics. I’m just a nobody, but I’m one less nobody that supports backwards thinking and backstabbing. Act like an adult and not a toddler that got his toy taken.

  • Finn asks the best questions!!

    In the sea of running podcasts Singletrack stands out as one of the greatest! This show is just easy to listen to. The guests are world class and Finn’s questions are even better. He takes lines of questioning I would never think of which leads to really interesting conversations.

  • Incredible!

    Finn is undoubtedly one of the best interviewers I have heard across all domains of podcasting. This quickly became my favorite podcast and I always get that feeling of excitement when I open the app and see there is a new episode. He bounces between interviews about the emotional and philosophical aspects of running to ones about competition and performance seamlessly. Really love the show.

Anton Krupicka Talks Western States Goal Sheet, Alpinism, Advice for the Next Generation
Q: What keeps you motivated to pursue endurance sports as you age?
Motivation comes from a longing to stay connected to the mountains and the community, a desire to keep learning, and the joy of being able to explore new disciplines while maintaining a high level of fitness.
Rachel Entrekin | 2026 UTMB Post-Race Interview
Q: Are you happy with this result?
Yes, second place is awesome and I'm proud to have finished given how demanding the race was; I didn't set strict placement goals, only time goals, and finishing strong felt right.
Rachel Entrekin | 2026 UTMB Post-Race Interview
Q: Is this the end of your season?
No, I have more races planned, including Snowman Trek in Bhutan, and I want to be smart about recovery and training to perform well in the next challenges.
Rachel Entrekin | 2026 UTMB Post-Race Interview
Q: Well, listen, Rachel, we really appreciate you being in studio this soon after the race. I think the first thing I'd love to have you comment on is why UTMB is the hardest race you've ever done.
I highlighted the elite competition and the constant need to stay present, noting that the hardest part for me was not the longest sections but the intense pressure and the final push, which pushed me beyond my comfort zone.
How John Fitzgerald Coached Jennifer Lichter to a Western States Course Record
Q: What did the on-course camp experiences contribute to Jen's performance?
The camps created a tight feedback loop between coach and athletes, allowed practice of pacing and cooling strategies on course-specific terrain, and built team culture and confidence, which translated into smarter race-day decisions.
