  • Great podcast, fix sound balance

    Love the quality of the podcast but something needs to be done about the sound. The podcasts’ volume is super low but as soon as an ad plays, it plays at regular volume, which is an issue since the volume needs to be higher to hear the actual content of the podcast.

  • Off Topic

    I came to listen to a podcast about Running, and instead, it’s minutes and minutes of someone talking about their dog and having a breeder. Which is not something I’d ever want to listen to.

  • No Longer Informative

    I loved this show when Coach Elizabeth was the host! I was hopeful that the new hosts would be as interesting and as informative as she was, but unfortunately, the show isn’t even about running anymore. The show focuses more on their political agenda than anything else. I really miss the informative episodes that helped me become a stronger runner!
