- Fun historical pod about running!
Hillary is a great follow on Instagram so I figured I’d listen to the pod to give her some support. It isn’t your typical running pod but instead presents some history on each day. I’m so glad I gave it a shot, because I am hearing new stories and learning what I wouldn’t just from listening to mainstream running pods!
