“I wait impatiently for the release of the new podcast every Friday, I absolutely adore meeting up in my earphones with my friends Eddy and Gary to hear all about their running escapades. This podcast motivates me out the door in all weather and now in dark damp and cold evenings. I suffer quite badly with anxiety, which can become more challenging on long runs or long bike rides, and I’ve used Gary and Eddy’s voices to keep me calm and remind me that I can do it! I’ve pushed myself more than I ever have done before to join run clubs, to sign up to races and even completed my longest run ever since finding tea and trails. I think what Eddy and Gary and guests do well is take the fear out of doing big scary things - they show you it’s hard, they tell you how you’re likely to feel, but they do it anyway and get through it! I’ve never had that sort of reassurance before from anyone. The podcast is always full of interesting chatter and I learn something new every episode. Eddy’s energy is utterly infectious, she has so much of it and it’s always bubbling and frothing over. I sometimes wonder if she could do with a podcast all to herself just to talk!
I can’t remember how I found tea and trails, I think it must have been recommended by some algorithm, so I hope that this review puts it in front of someone else who will gain as much as I have from this podcast.
Thank you both for all you do, I can imagine that there are some days this feels like a chore and you’ve got a lot going on, but you keep showing up for us.”
