  • Gum chewing?

    I’ve enjoyed this podcast for years! There have been a number of episodes that it sounds like you’re chewing gum while the guest is talking. I can hear breathing and presumably gum-chewing. It is hard to listen to. It would be good to be on mute or maybe ditch the gum.

  • Congrats Lindsey from the 3rd place woman!

    I’m a long time listener of the podcast but especially loved the most recent episode with Lindsey Bradley. I was the 3rd overall woman at Indy and it was fun to hear about the front of the race. And it’s always great to hear about other women who are trying to train hard while having full-time jobs and lives outside running. Thanks for a great episode!
