  • Best Ultra running podcast in the game!

    If you ever need a bit of company on your long runs or rides this is the place for you. Awesome guests and Finn is always asking interesting questions that make each podcast feel fresh, even if it’s with athletes who have appeared on a dozen podcast before! I’d rate the show higher than 5 starts if I could!
