  • Forward thinking and fun

    Singletrack is one of my favorite running podcasts. Amazing guests, amazing conversations. Most importantly, Finn is always willing to dig in and dissect topics, whether that’s a gear discussion or something more provocative like equity in the sport or the Olympics. Having Brett there most episodes is the cherry on top. Love the dynamic.
