  • Very informative top-notch podcast!

    I started listening to this podcast about 2 months ago. I’ve been a runner for about 13 years and consider myself fairly well-versed when it comes to running, but I can truly say that I have already learned so much in the short time that I’ve been listening to this podcast. Elisabeth is clearly very knowledgeable about running. I also appreciate her interview style and the way that she interacts with her guests.

  • Amazing insights

    All of the episodes give a wide perspective on the art and science of running. I really loved the most recent episode on when to not run, and I love the idea of what I call intelligent adaptation—the ability to engage with and listen to yourself for the betterment of your running and, more importantly, yourself.

  • Pretty good

    I found this recently and it’s an enjoyable listen. More Q&A would be great.

    My biggest issues are:

    Sound issues…main pod is to low volume and then ads blast your speakers.

    Coach promotion. You might not notice if you don’t binge a few at a time but if you do listen to several in a row it’s just an ad for the coaching industrial complex. I know this bubble hasn’t popped yet but it does get annoying after a while.

    Weight loss discussions. Every episode that discusses this devolves into a co... more
