- The only genuine running podcast out there
A huge thank you to you and your co-hosts for the podcast. It’s been incredibly valuable in my own running journey, especially during longer runs and ultra attempts. Your advice has helped me more than I can explain and most importantly it’s helped me learn to be kinder to myself along the way. Thank you for being so honest, genuine, and real. I’m really looking forward to your second book.

It always feels like a good chat with friends and I save it for either my long runs or... more

Australia2 months ago - Finally caught up!
I’ve binged this since discovering it in September, mammoth effort to catch up!
Listening to a ‘wintering’ pod whilst in the driving wind and rain on the PW seemed fitting. I also laughed out loud to the bit about advent calendars, you’ll have to listen to find out!
