  • Personable and interesting

    Genuinely incredible podcast which is like a couple of lads having a chat down the pub about running with you which was an exactly what I was looking for.

    Lost a star for sounding like it’s been recorded on a potato, sound quality is atrocious.

  • The best running pod out there

    Probably the only podcast that I listen to every episode every week.

    The chat is good, the guests are great and the banter and down to earth nature just makes this a must listen. If you are into running and have a connection to Scotland then this is a must listen.

    Just waiting on my invite 😁
