  • Used to be better

    I used to enjoy listening to this podcast on my long runs, however, have found recent episodes frustrating, egotistical and condescending. I would have liked to hear more from the recent guest who ran 100 marathons in 100 days but the presenters kept talking over her with their own stories. The last straw was listening male presenters advising women to use their menstrual cycle as a superpower

  • Useless

    What have I learnt from the podcast? Andy went to the Olympics. Rick loves his hot tub. Sarah is the only normal person. They mainly talk about themselves and make everything about themselves. They are so detached from reality.

  • Running pod ( meh )

    Ok podcast, Sarah just giggles it’s painful.On the other hand Andy give’s great information and makes it nice the listen and learn. There are way to many adverts . I think Andy should start a proper podcast with no giggling every 10 seconds and ads which are short. Overall decent podcast.

  • my absolute favourite podcast

    my favourite podcast to listen to! i love all 3 presenters. they work so well together, bringing both science and useless banter to the table. i actually really enjoy it when they digress, or when Rick says something utterly ridiculous that weirdly somehow makes complete sense. i’ve lost count of how many times I’ve burst out laughing on a run because of something that’s been said on this pod!

  • Amazing podcast!

    This is a fantastic podcast! I’ve just started training for my first marathon that is going to be at the end of May. I’ve listened to a couple episodes this week and I am hooked. My friend told me about your podcast and I can’t get enough! Sending a huge thanks from Oregon (near track town USA ☺️)
