Great mix of studies and stories based on experience. They’re easy to listen to and I usually learn something new even when I thought I knew the subject.
Great listening for anyone interested in the science of running — both coaches know their stuff and clearly love to share it.
I listen to a lot of running podcasts, but this one is my favorite! I listen to it during my easy runs, while I lift, on my way to work..really everywhere! Amanda and Lauren use great research, have so much knowledge to share, and make their podcasts relatable and helpful as a non-elite athlete!
Very happy I stumbled across this rather excellent pod! As a medic, I struggle to find evidence based, scientific driven podcasts and discussions, so was delighted to discover this! Love all the chat and tips. Hopefully it will help me run my first marathon well! Thanks, Mick
So many new things to learn from both of you. I’m in my marathon buildup routine and I’m listening to the podcast on my runs instead of music. 😎
