  • 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 ☺️)

  • Adverts, plugs and talking over each other.

    It’s a shame, parts of the pod are great but others are painful.

  • Used to be good

    This used to be a really good podcast but it’s really gone downhill of late.

    There’s very little content that’s engaging at all.

    It now feels like it’s all about pushing adverts and more and more consumption which isn’t good.

    It’s a shame as it’s been very enjoyable in the past.
