I love the long form podcast. Ian has opened my eyes to a few challenges that I wouldn’t have otherwise considered. I always listen with an ear out for something new and a refresh of classics in the ultra scene.

Really enjoyed the recent MdS episode, great questions and good insight into a big change in the community. After listening I am excited to attend MdS in the future again. Thanks Ian

Yes it’s about running but it’s far too serious! It’s only running! I’m an ultra runner and yes I take it really seriously but gosh it’s about having fun on the way. The last thing we want is a podcast taking themselves way too seriously!

If you are a conservative and a Trump supporter. Ian despises you. I just received a very hostile email response from him after I expressed my concern over his comments about politics. There is no escape...not even my trail running podcasts. If you are a conservative American, you are listening...Read full review »

Best ultrarunning podcast by far

Some excellent guests and enjoy Karl’s input when he can get a word in. Would prefer less info on Ian’s itinerary and more from the runners themselves. Wouldn’t mind mixing up the elite perspective with a few interviews directed towards normal runners to have a few takeaways to improve our own...Read full review »

Used to be good but lost interest a few years ago. Guests aren’t as good anymore and Speedgoat Carl (co host) is hardly on, and he was the best part. And Ian (host) loves himself too much.

Motivating and inspiring.

All around great interviews by Ian. Great commentary by Speedgoat Karl. Newer co-interviews from the “godfather of trails” will continue to improve we hope. Without this show I would not know much about all the great international races and fell/sky running. Thanks Ian!

Ian may have a lot to say, as described by a few reviews,but that’s his skill. His knowledge is such that he gets the best out of the interviews. Great podcast and a little ‘dare I say’ inspirational at times.

Way better entertainment anywhere else
bkdickinson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/17
I like this podcast but it can be a bit frustrating. Whenever he's intereviewing an amazing woman, he won't let them speak. In a 10 minute inteview, he will speak for 7 minutes and the interviewee will only get to speak for 3 minutes. It's frustrating that he won't let the...Read full review »

Good guests and good ultra knowledge from the hosts. But the main host has too much to say.

an ultra podcast for ultra athletes😜 one of my favourite sources of ultra running news
floriankimmel via Apple Podcasts · Austria · 12/31/16
As an ultrarunner, I come back to this podcast from time to time to give it another chance. And each time, I remember why I abandoned it. Most recently, the interview with Karl Meltzer pulled me in. Who doesn't want to hear about Speedgoat's amazing feat on the AT? Instead, it was an...Read full review »

Valuable information, great interviews and, forgetting some of Ian's terrible attempt at being funny, a fun way to spend a long run :)Read full review »

A great podcast for those interested in the global ultra running scheme.
aaronshim via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/03/16
Talk Ultra's podcasts frequently come in over 3 hours. Talk Ultra has great interviewees however the interview questions are not particulalry inspiring and one is left wondering what one was listening to for the last three hours. Every now and then an interviewee will give some good advice on...Read full review »

I have listened to every episode of TalkUltra and much of the information I have learned about the sport has come from the show. Ian is a fantastic ambassador of the sport and SpeedGoat is a great touch. Thanks for all the miles of info and company. Keep up the great work!
@scottykummer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/15
I only recently discovered this podcast but now I am a fan, looking forward to each episode. In depth interviews, quality production and a variety of topics make this a special podcast. Long may Ian Corless continue this superb product.
Chris Graeme via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/19/15
Good audio quality, awesome content (eg long interviews with athletes, regular features such as Smiles & Miles with Emelie Forsberg) - this is a fantastic podcast, great for listening to in car, while doing housework or indeed while out on a run!
Rebrorrimegami via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/10/15
I died and went to heaven when I found this podcast. Interviews are excellent and training information is very helpful. Helps me keep in touch with ultra running as a fan and this is not easy. I would prefer a little more American content, but overall an outstanding show. Ian is the hardest...Read full review »

it’s a wonderful podcast on the ultrail running community. I look forward to every episode and listen on my long runs. Keep it up! Arrivederci from Italy
piazza di spagna via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 11/05/13
The content is great, but I rarely listen because it's just so long. It would be great if the episodes were broken up into 30min to an hour segments. Any more than an hour and the podcast becomes impossible to listen to. Unless of course your the type of person who likes to listen on there...Read full review »

Compulsory audio on any run. Has helped me discover an inspirational community and encouraged my training and desire to race. Great job Ian

Recently has started listening and went back to listen to all the back issues. Really learned a lot and helped boost my confidence going into first 100 miler.

Love Talk Ultra Truely enjoy listing to Ian and his guests love the Global view keep it up!
Barrett Wagenseil via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/13
Along with sister podcast Marathon Talk, this podcast is a must listen. Geared for the ultra distance runner or enthusiast, the show covers all the major races and highlights some of the characters in the sport. The addition of Speedgoat Karl has been great.
Peter Lariviere via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/03/13

Great interviews, informative and done with good humour. 3 hours fly by.

I'm not even close to running ultra distances and I'm actually preparing to run my first marathon. However, I find this show extremely interesting and educating. Nothing else I can say but keep it up. Thanks.Read full review »

Are there other good podcasts? Sure. Is there any equally good? NO WAY! Everything a trailrunner is interrested in. Training, nutrition, events, results, interviews... They know what the deal is. Thanks, guys... Keep going. All the best from Germany. Andy
RunningRhoener via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 07/13/12
I can't recommend this podcast highly enough to anyone who's into running long on trails. Ian Corless does an awesome job, and manages to draw the very best out of all his interviewees. Thanks so much for all your work, Ian!!Read full review »

If you are into trail and ultra running then this is the podcast for you. The long podcasts fly by with their great news, features and interviews. Makes you feel like you are at some of the events. Highly recommended!

I like how the show will mix it up. Not just an interview the whole time.

I start to get antsy waiting for new episodes. Lots of news and amazing interviews! A must for ant trail, ultra, stage, or adventure runner!

Great and informative show, a brilliant introduction to a sport rapidly growing in popularity. Listening to this really makes ultras seem possible for us mere mortals.

Really enjoyed the first show. Great format and looking forward to hearing what the guys have to say in the future. Nice to have a transatlantic/international show that reflects the fact that the US doesn't have the monopoly on great racesRead full review »
