- Should be one of the top Health & Fitness podcasts let alone running podcasts.
I grew up with an abusive father that happened to be a very good ultra-runner. He was a 100km and 100mi national champion with a David Goggins-like approach to life.

Love this pod, keep up the good work.

Since this is a podcast centered on running, I’d really appreciate keeping the focus there, without integrating political or gov... more

David and Megan are the best, and have such great chemistry on the mic. Love listening to them every week for science pearls and lots of laughter as they honestly and vulnerably talk about life and running.
