  • Love these fellas

    Stumbled across this podcast by chance while looking for intelligent running-related chat and it didn’t disappoint. It’s very insightful, and when they have guests on the questions they ask are incisive and posed from a position where it’s clear they really know what they’re talking about. Also really enjoying the episodes without guests!

  • Not as usefull

    Not as usefully as expected. The host talks too much about himself. “I did this” and “I do this”. I guess they have a learning curve as the podcast is new. There is much more you can do with it.
