“I have a really big problem with this podcast, it’s too good! More episodes than not are worth listening to two or three times. I’ve been a high performing endurance athlete for more than twenty years and still learn tons every episode.”

“I listen to Chris almost every night. Discovered the podcast two months ago. Informative, practical and I have learned a lot! My only critique is— why is this Nicole Winters person on there? I find very little about her helpful and I checked out her instagram page and was very unimpressed. Seemed...”Read full review »

“Chris does a tremendous job with this podcast. Let’s be honest - the weekly topic of running could get very stale, but not here. He does a great job of keeping each episode very enjoyable with relatable tips that you can really apply to your own running. I love when he mixes in current events in...”Read full review »

“I've been listening to Chris since 2018. He transformed my running because I hung onto every word and little by little put into practice everything he was saying which ultimately allowed me to qualify for Boston. This also led me to join his podcast training group in 2020. He's a big...”Read full review »

“I live this podcast- substantive, specific, always seems to touch on topics when I’m thinking about them either because time of year or time of season
It takes an episode or two in order to get the rhythm of a single voice just talking- but once you get the flow you won’t be disappointed.”

“I used to listen to this podcast all the time, but the absence of a co-host has made the show a real snoozer.
This podcast needs a new co-host and should move the doping conversations to Chris’s Clean Sport Collective show where Kara can keep things on track and be an effective foil for Chris.”
