“This is one of my favorite podcasts. I found while I was training for my first ultra marathon and wanted to understand heart rate training better. But I’ve been sucked in to all the other topics Megan and David have to offer. I love the mix between running/fitness/science/& other random...”Read full review »

“Megan and David are the kindest, most enthusiastic, and most delightfully weird running coaches on the planet. Every week is more than an hour of training science, oddly inappropriate yet still appropriate r-rated jokes, and unconditional love. What more could a person possibly want??? TEN STARS.”

“Listening to this podcast makes me feel like I’m hanging out with friends. I’m a middle of the pack road runner but love hearing the science and being inspired to FAFO and chase big dreams. It’s also extra helpful to hear them doing all the things while raising a tiny human.”
