“I needed Episode 395 to start the new year. When you can’t train…exercise! Brakken and Kirk help me take my average effort “base hits” of exercise and inspire me to convert the effort into “home runs” of training. They are the “moneyball mentality” of the running / OCR / hybrid fitness space...”Read full review »
