“Omg the quote from Des in the top 5 at the end of the trials episode “You work really hard and you dream and then you put on your shoes and you try to make your dreams happen” (or something like that). I would not consider myself emotional or someone that would put an inspirational quote on my...”Read full review »

“These ladies have it all! They are similar to hanging out with friends who like to talk about running - and since none of my friends like to talk about running this much, they are fantastic to listen to!
They have a good balance of serious and nonsense, love them!”

Kara, will you give us insight to Colt’s training? I mean, how would I train my kid if I was an Olympian?...”Read full review »
