“So thoughtfully curated and always packed with great insights. In this post-truth world it is refreshing to listen to insights based on scientific method rather than opinions based on superstition or social proof. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into making the series.”

“The Coaches Corner episodes are 5 star, they’re all fantastic. When it’s just the host doing the episode, it sounds like he’s just reading a script, and I’d rather read the blog post. It’s still great info and some good interviews, and any trail runner should at least try out it.”

“Shawn is a delight, and I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to almost every show on Science of Ultra.
If you want to have the tricky science stuff of running conveyed clearly, simply and kindly this is a must listen.
The show is a little clunky in the early episodes but quickly hits it stride.”
