Emily’s podcast is a breath of fresh air. As a former Ultramarathon runner and now Ironman Triathlete I appreciate the insights for training for sports. But what caught my eye was the solo travel episode - which I loved. I used to ravel solo until I got re-married and now my husband loves my...Read full review »

I love Hurdle— the podcast, the mindset, and the community. Running (and life) can feel isolating and Hurdle is one way, one part of my weekly routine, that makes me feel like my experiences, challenges, the highs and lows, are not mine alone. Emily has a wealth of knowledge herself and her...Read full review »

Hurdle is one of my favorite podcast! It helped me going through my first half marathon and other hurdles in life. My family is not in the same country as I am and I find hard to build new relationships but as lonely as it sound I found my “community” in the podcasts that I listen to, this one is...Read full review »

I love this podcast so much. Emily is a fantastic interviewer - and the range in wellness-focused or wellness adjacent guests are always teaching me something new or motivating me to be a better version of myself. I listen religiously on my daily hot girl walks.

I’ve been listening to Hurdle for 2+ years and this is hands down my favorite podcast. I love all of the different guests that Emily has from Peloton instructors to athletes to self help gurus.

Hurdle was the first running/wellness podcast I listened to when I first started running, and even though my playlist has now grown, this podcast remains a constant companion on numerous tough long runs. I’ve learned so much about strength and overcoming hurdles not just from the diverse list of...Read full review »

Yes, it’s a podcast mostly about running but it’s just as much a podcast centered around well being. It would benefit anyone interested in having a overall more positive outlook on life. 10/10 recommend.
CorgiUWU via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/23
Hurdle is a must listen for me each week! I started listening as a runner, but I stayed listening for the positivity and wellness which helps shape the best me. Give Emily a listen, you won’t be disappointed!

I have been listening to Hurdle for years now and love the wide array of athletes, CEOs and everyone in between (see what I did there?!?).

Super interesting podcast, making running and the running community much more approachable. My personal fave ones are the 5 minute fridays and the solo episodes with Emily since she’s a great story teller !
nycgirl2020 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/23
As a lifelong runner, I’ve learned so many amazing tips and strategies from Hurdle for improving my performance and getting the most out of my runs. I find Emily’s fitness journey so inspiring, and I love the interviews with running pros like Sally McRae. A must listen for runners of all levels!

I love Emily’s podcast. My favorite is Five Minute Friday - I look forward to listening to it while I warm up for my Friday run. Added bonus- I’ve been introduced to some of my other favorite podcasters and influencers through Hurdle.
runeatcakerun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/23
In an industry far too focused on quick fixes and monological approaches to wellness, Hurdle offers a welcome change of pace by bringing in diverse guests, as well as Emily's open, always-inquisitive, inspiring voice.Read full review »

AJC2000 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 01/28/23
I love seeing which guest pops up next on Hurdle because Emily has a real knack for inviting a diverse pool of people whose stories and perspectives are unique, insightful, but also relatable. There’s always an actionable takeaway,to be found in the episodes. Love Hurdle

I love this podcast and have found so much inspiration in both Emily and all the guests. Such a great thing to listen to while running!
EmilyMari via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/17/23
Long-time listener, first-time reviewer (sorry for that!) and I’m here to say: just listen once. That’s all you need to connect with Emily and her guests. Although running is my sport of choice, I’ve enjoyed each episode (running related or not) and can have taken some pearl of wisdom away from...Read full review »

Great variety of topics and guests. I also appreciate Emily sharing her fitness journey.
r3ddddddddd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/26/22
Meh
Hurdle has changed it’s tune as of late. It’s really moving away from its original fitness-oriented content and feels very preachy and life coach-y. If that’s your bag, you’ll probably love it. Also, how many Peloton instructors does one person need to interview?
mrsb0417 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/22
Loved the episode with Rad Lopez. It was truly something special.
agomezlicon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/22
I have been listening to Hurdle for a long time and love when I see guests that I follow or know of in other ways (like all the Peloton guests :)) but I realized today that no matter whether I knew the guest or not, Emily always sets up the conversation so I can relate to the person or I learn...Read full review »

I have been listening to Hurdle and following Emily for a few years now. My friends introduced me to the show when I was training for my first big race: the 2019 NYC Half Marathon. I’d been a D1 lacrosse player and played various sports all my life, but navigating fitness and nutrition on my own...Read full review »

I love how real Emily is. It’s so encouraging to not feel alone when I hit a hurdle. Listening to other people share their hurdle moments really helps when things feel tough, thank you Emily!!!

I stumbled upon this podcast as I became more serious about my running and never looked back. Emily has helped me balance life and running, train smarter, and become a bigger fan of the sport. Can’t thank her enough for that. Be a Hurdler- you won’t regret it.
nmledesma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/22
I first heard about Emily through another podcast where she shared her definition of success: “We don’t know joy if we haven’t experienced pain, and we don’t appreciate the wins without navigating the losses. To me, success is how I’m doing good in the world and how I am experiencing joy while...Read full review »
