Some of the trail running podcasts I listen to only focus on the elite runner. It’s nice to hear about relatable individuals that run for the joy of it, to push self limits, for self discovery, to enjoy the scenery, or for any other reason aside from winning .. give this podcast a chance !
This is exactly the content I look for that is rare these days! Ultra running podcasts have moved away from simply sharing race experiences but this is what I love most!
So Glad to have found this Podcast! Thanks Troy!
Found this show when Troy was on a different trail running show. Liked his content more than theirs so I ditched their podcast and came here. Great show. Like every episode and can’t wait for more every week. Keep up the great work
I’m only a few recent episodes in but I dig the show and will continue subscribing. It’s refreshing to hear relatable content in this amazing sport. Most of the field is really just us in the middle and back out to have a good time and challenge ourselves. Keep it up!
