This podcast is incredible but this particular focus on Coach Lisa and her accomplishment with her son at the Pan American Maccabee games was truly inspiring! To achieve gold 20 years apart is amazing! Beyond this particular show, Julie and Lisa put together such a great show with amazing...Read full review »

Listening to the episode that talks about how little changes make a big difference in training was balm to my broken heart (after a really hard marathon that didn’t go the way I planned). Concrete useful tips paired with compassion!

I’m never going to be an elite athlete, but this podcast helps make me better. The hosts are relatable and provide great tips for improving at any level.

I truly credit Lisa and Julie for preparing me to run the 2022 Boston Marathon (achieving a lifelong athletic dream). I continue to listen because these coaches provide so much value that help me continue to improve as a masters runner. The episode topics can be very race specific (thanks for the...Read full review »

I like your show very much but did not at all appreciate Mr. Rosen’s sarcastic tone about Saudia Arabia! I am from Egypt and I was a 19 years old girl in ‘89 and I used to run on the streets and had no problems at all, yet I would still respect the Saudi’s culture! Rest assured there are...Read full review »

My favorite Running podcast! While it is geared towards the Boston marathon, I find it beneficial for running and training in general. I have already learned so much, and I look forward to continuing to use the knowledge that I gain as I begin training for the Boston marathon in 2024.

Found this podcast just weeks before I ran Boston and it helped me solidify my race strategy which helped me achieve a PR!!!! This podcast is perfect for any marathoner…or any runner in general!!
Googie W. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/26/23
Lisa and Julie have been inspiring me for years. This episode is like listening to the final game of the World Series - announced by Phil Rizzutto ! Whether you are running your first road race or your 19th Boston Marathon- I promise that you will take away some gems for Race Day from episode 168!

I have been a listener from episode 1 and being a runner for over 30 years, they give such good and sound advice. Being a past and current RFF client I can attest they know what they are doing. I just listened to the latest episode and appreciate the advice for spectators. My hubby probably could...Read full review »

This was the perfect episode to listen to 18 days out! As if I thought I couldn’t be any more excited!! I’ve been listening for a while and really enjoy your content. I can’t wait for my second Boston marathon and also learning about your shake out run on Sunday! Can’t wait to meet you both!
KR Boston 23! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/23
I love listening to this podcast on my runs or back and forth to work. I always look forward to the next episode. I have only ran 1 marathon but have ran many half marathons, 15k/10k/5ks. Love learning more from others. Keep up the get work and thank you for the motivation.

I enjoy listening to the 2 girls talk running. They get good interesting people for interviews. Lots of good running information from two experienced coaches.

I’m a long time off and on listener but I got hooked over the winter and even signed up for a coaching package! Lisa & Julie are wise and savvy when it comes to interviews, running advice, tough love, and tactics. Listening to them on my morning runs has taught me so much and brought me lots...Read full review »

I have been listening to this podcast for a while now. I am not one of their clients but they always are willing to answer my questons and offer helpful suggestions. They provide great information not only for Boston but information any runner would find useful.
carolruns1010 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/23
I’ve been listening to Lisa and Julie since 2020-it is my go-to podcast for everything running. They are amazing coaches and women. Highly recommend this podcast for all types of runners-new, veterans, short distance, endurance athletes. Love them!

I stumbled upon this podcast last week in preparation for my first Boston marathon. I am a seasoned runner and have run 27 marathons, including at least one on all 7 continents (yes, even Antarctica) and 5 Abbott World Marathon Majors, but I am already learning so much from Lisa and Julie.

Most of the time I am listening to an audiobook or music while doing my early morning runs. Every now and again, I will pull up a podcast from Julie and Lisa. I always find that it hits home and I learn new things or review things I’ve already been told, and need to remember! I just love...Read full review »

Hi Julie and Lisa! I was going through a rough time in my training last year for my first Boston when my daughter suggested I find a good running podcast. I searched for Boston podcasts and found you. No doubt you coached me through the remainder of my training. Your podcasts describing the race...Read full review »
DreaG98 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/23
Great info but as a new listener, it would be nice to have a little intro at the beginning of a new episode. I felt like I couldn’t jump in at a random episode because they just launch right in vs introducing themselves and the topic for the episode. Seemed a little scattered because of that.
alligoob via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/23
Look forward to it every week , the insight to help even an experienced runner is great . A must for any runner , their Boston experiences and assistance are amazing
JK52boston via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/23
I look forward to this podcast every week! I always learn something listening to Lisa and Julie! Not only is it informative it is also entertaining to listen to these two friends talk! I put a few things on my holiday gift list for myself after listening to their favorite things episode!!
Pink lover24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/23
Running often demands so much self-motivation, which can easily turn into self-judgement. This podcast won’t let me start that narrative with myself. Since becoming a regular listener a year ago, I have become a more compassionate runner, which means running with myself has gotten a lot better....Read full review »

Please have on “Paul and Sasha” from “Community News with Paul and Sasha”. Paul walks 20 miles a day, but Sasha really needs help. I think you can help her. Keep up the great work on this show.

Hands down, my favorite running podcast! The hosts are experienced endurance coaches who combine practical tips with engaging interviews. The RFAF podcast will leave you feeling motivated, inspired and ready to take on your next big running challenge! K. Richardson, M.D.
krobgyn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/22
Julie and Lisa are terrific. Since this is a podcast rooted in the Boston Marathon, it’s not surprising that they have experience, credentials and tips to help anyone prepare for a successful race. But there are a lot of people out there with Boston Marathon creds. So what I really appreciate...Read full review »

Great podcast and more important love the coaching. I started with Julie about five months ago from nothing and am on track for a half marathon soon. I got Covid, which caused me to adjust goals. I read somewhere in one of the comments that the podcast had different viewpoints on how to deal with...Read full review »

kldgruns via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/22
Julie and Lisa are the real deal. They open their podcast to differing view points which gives listeners the space to draw objective conclusions about all things health/running. They don’t try to be “above” it all and go through life’s ups and downs the same way their audience does. I really...Read full review »

Julie and Lisa are willing to grapple with difficult subjects and present varying points of view. Much more interesting and informative than over simplifying complexity into bumper sticker cliches. Keep up the great work!
Rich Go or Go Rich! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/22
They obviously know their way around the Boston Marathon but outside of that specialty, much less. Recent episodes have had each guest contradicting the advice of previous guests about nutrition, injury, stretching, warmups, etc. It’s laughable. I feel like I’m getting dumber with each episode....Read full review »
