  • Awesome podcast!

    I gotta be honest. I had to research how to provide a review for a podcast and I am a tech professional. Gotta go to the show page and not on an episode 😂 I never used to listen to anything while running but my friend, Gio, would mention you guys so I gave it a listen. The early shows were rough but still fun. Now, you guys are my running friends 130 gang shows in. So much about the show is ‘familiar’. It’s like the same conversations with my friends! I have gotten older and slowed down so it i... more

  • It’s more than a podcast, it’s a community

    I’ve been listening for years. It was one of the sources of inspiration to move into ultra running. Fun and friendly community of people!

  • Couldn’t do my long runs without it

    Middle-aged back-of-the-pack runner here—moved to France 8 years ago and still running solo 98% of the time. Enter *10 Junk Miles*. This podcast is my running buddy—funny , unfiltered, and refreshingly real. It makes me laugh, cry, and somehow keeps me inspired to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Thanks, Scott, from the French Alps!

  • TJM- best (running) podcast!

    Began listening in 2020 when I my running went to mostly solo runs. It served its purpose as being the running friends for those who don’t have that. Continue to listen to the crew on not only some of my solo runs, but also on car rides, flights and even while working when I just need a distraction. The gang shows are the best- the banter, laughs, and witty discussions are always entertaining. When other podcasts I listen to have disappeared, Scottie and TJM gang continue to entertain!
