  • So Helpful! I Re-listen a Lot!

    Love this pod and Doc Lyss! She cuts through a lot of the noise and has super helpful episodes that are packed with info. I routinely re-listen to episodes like the zone 2 one since it’s full of info. Also, her blog is incredibly rich in info too!

  • Great info but drop the background music

    I enjoy the content and knowledge presented but can barely listen anymore since there is music playing in the background while she is speaking the entire spot. I find it incredibly distracting. The first couple of times o though I had left another app open on my phone.

    For anyone who loves to geek out on sports, nutrition, health, races, strategy…

    Also, she speaks quickly so this is the only podcast I do not need to speed up to enjoy
