  • The best running podcast out there

    I could listen to Kate all day. She is an incredibly talented commentator / sports journalist - she has endless knowledge about all of her interviewees and their sport and she strikes the perfect balance between offering her own experiences while maintaining focus on the athlete she’s interviewing.

    I would love to hear Brianna Scott be interviewed.... she's worked her way up from a recreational runner to a top middle distance runner in Canada!
