  • Good stuff

    I love this authentic and unscripted podcast. Some times, deep conversations with old friends, chats with new folks and other times absolute chaos…one thing is for sure, it’s always worth my time.

  • Great show

    Half the show is some of the best one on one interviews in the running-podcast-genre. Not many elites, but all great stories.

    The other half is a bunch of idiots talking about running and doing idiotic running things. Usually funny. Frequently offensive. And every now and then inspiring.

    Because of them, I can now call myself an idiot too. Finished my first 100 miler at the Badger last summer. I would have never made the leap without the push I got from this show. Thanks to Scott and the crew... more

Q: Tell me a little bit about your running life. How did it start?
