  • Trail running is for the people

    Professional and elite sports frequently feel so distant and difficult to grasp for the average person. James does a great job removing all the noise and gets into real, down-to-earth conversations with the sport’s best. It’s refreshing to listen to a podcast that puts genuineness above all else. Keep up the great work!
