Ok
Some good guests and rob seems like a nice guy but it can be a snooze fest. Often it’s just sterile interview questions with minimal engagement from the host, kind of like listening to a job interview. Ten Junk Miles is a much more engaging listen.

One of the slowest “runners” in human history. Self obsessed and completely delusional.

I love listening to Robs show. I’ve been a on and off lister for a few years and he has some great content.

Enjoy listening to these great interviews with the Ultra Running community and the variety of experiences and insights being shared 👍🏆🏃‍♂️🙂🌳🌳

Things changed with TFU format. So clumsy/odd to have advertisements smacked in the middle of an interview. No Segway- just pasted in the middle of people talking. Rob has always been so polished- I don’t get it

Can be challenging to listen to when both interviewer and interviewee are continually saying “like…like…like…”

Love the episode with Natalie Eva Marie💗it’s always fun to hear how people find out about ultras & are either“one & done”or “hooked”& already looking for the next race...

I’ve struggled to find decent running specific podcasts, especially ultra running related, stumbled upon this one and it certainly fills a void in the space. I’ve listened to several episodes. Great, wide-ranging, guests. Good blend of (semi) formal interview, entertaining story telling, and...Read full review »

Love this podcast and listening to all the meaningful conversations with each guest that joins.

His podcast is not to be missed! Really get some great info on Ultra in his interviews.

Great show. Fascinating and appreciated chance to learn about Forlorn Hope and what these guys are doing

This podcast is ALWAYS the first one I listen to if there’s a new episode uploaded.

My brother runs the AC 100 out here in so cal and I train with him. We’d talk doing hills and what not. I had no idea there was such a big community behind ultra running. Somehow I stumbled onto this podcast looking for insight. I love it. I listen to it in traffic and while running. I love the...Read full review »

Rob loves doing these podcasts and he loves seeing what it does for the community. I remember when I first met him, he made me (a young, inexperienced but passionate runner, charging hard already) feel like I was going to do amazing things. I was surprised, I didn’t know him, I hadn’t listened to...Read full review »

FlattyGM via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/08/20
I got a huge kick out of reading the reviews of people who left one or two stars, all the reasons they hate him, are all the reasons I love the podcast. Rob is so unique, realistic, and honest in every episode. I listen to 6 or 8 different ultra running podcasts and “Training for Ultra” is my...Read full review »

I really wanted to like this podcast. I am just not a fan, his voice is not my favorite. With that I understand we have to work with what we are given. Maybe some broadcast lessons could come in handy. I purchased the book on Audiobooks, reading the description not listening to the excerpt....Read full review »

I’ve been listening for about a year now, normally on my Sunday morning long runs. Very inspiring and motivating, Rob has a great carming voice and the guests are alway interesting and great fun, I’ve learned a lot about myself and where I want to be heading in the future. Thanks Rob 👍🏼
James George via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/15/20
Great potential but the hosting ruins the podcast for me. I persevered for a number of episodes but found this pod overly centred on the interviewer rather that interviewees - it just wasn’t engaging for me.
Grrr 35 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/21/20
Used to be a good podcast until the host became 100% self absorbed. Guy think he’s an elite ultra runner despite being a mid packer at best
trailrunner5774 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/20
This is a tricky one, while I have found a lot of inspiration in some of the episodes, I do find it difficult to listen to because of the amount of “like’s” and “a’s” and “um.” He also gets on weird tangents and he rides his own di** a lot.. also Goggin’s. He is OBSESSED with Goggins. Having a...Read full review »

Excellent podcast from a middle of pack runner. Speaks to some elites and some “normal” folk. Quite enjoyable.
iRunRelentless via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/22/19
Rob’s podcast is a must listen for people new to ultra running. I have been listening for awhile now and I have learned so much from him and the runners he interviews! Thank you for the great content!
DAmane! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/19
This podcast is not only entertaining, but informative as well! It offers a unique perspective into ultra running and running in general! I highly recommend this podcast to ALL runners!
ScottyEveryNicknameTaken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/19
Love the show
Balty68 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/19
New to trail running and have found a wealth of knowledge in the episodes I’ve made it through so far. A great way to pass the time logging miles.
Cg185185 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/19
I recently took a dive into ultrarunning after running a trail 12k. I was happy to find a Podcast hosted by someone who started from the same place I did! I appreciate that Rob has such a variety of guests, covers so many topics, and is always open and honest with his listeners. Great podcast for...Read full review »
CALIENTEPOCKET via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/19
I’ve yet to find a better source of information, inspiration, and enjoyment from any other running podcast. Rob’s love for the sport is tremendous and he presents a view on the sport, the middle of the pack, that is rarely seen by many. He’s the hero for most of us ultra runners who simply love...Read full review »

I’ve been training for a 50miler and this podcast has been a fantastic source of information. Thank you for teaching me so much and for keeping me company during the long runs on the trails! Highly recommended!!
SAI del Mar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/19
Without a doubt my favorite ultra running podcast. There is something both comforting and intriguing in hearing the stories and experiences that Rob and his guests bring to the table.
Hunter VA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/19
His guests all bring something different to the conversation. He asks thought-provoking questions that make the listener think. Well done and keep it up.
CBrownATC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/19
I started listening to Rob’s podcast before my first ultra, and it instantly became one that I never miss. I appreciate his humility and his passion to inspire others through personal accounts and interviews.
stphsmth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/19
Excellent podcast!!! I’ve been throwing around the idea of running a 50k. So naturally I searched for races in my area. Looks like I’m targeting kettle moraine 50k in 2020. I’ll be finishing my current year with a 1/2 marathon and spartan race. Then I will buckle down and train for the ultra....Read full review »

As an aspiring ultra runner this is my go to for truly understanding the sport. Rob provides you his detailed personal journey with a lineup of world class athletes. Great podcast to keep you motivated on long training runs and inspire across the board.
Eric12984 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/19
Rob’s experience as an ultra runner brings a unique perspective to the world of ultra running. His interviews are insightful and fun.
Spartan in Ca! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/19
I just recently discovered this podcast. I came to running late in life and my longest run so far is a mere 20k, but I have aspirations to someday go longer. The interviews Rob conducts on this podcast are inspiring and informative. I’ve listened to 5 back episodes in the last three days!
Clark [dying.2.self] via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/19
This podcast is great, not only because of the content, but because Rob truly takes interest in the listeners and is always looking for ways to improve. Over the various podcast episodes, he has made some changes, which means he is likely reading these comments and taking the listeners feedback...Read full review »

Great podcast, Rob has a real passion for the distance and is open and honest with his guests, a good mix of people interviewed at all abilities of running, and a wealth of information can be found in past podcasts
1155ap via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/14/19
I've been listening a few months now. I want to have a game and drink every time he says "like" but I'd get wasted in 5 minutes. It's as if he is a teenage girl. Annoying to the point of wanting to unsubscribe but he gets really good guests! Now while taking to the guests I...Read full review »

No matter if you are an ultra runner, training for your first ultra, or just a casual runner, you get inspired. I am Training for my first Ultra in Mohican this spring, the more I listen to Rob and his guests the more I am getting jacked to do this to see what I am capable of. So thanks for...Read full review »

Such a great Podcast and very inspirational! Definitely give it a listen!
Lacey R. via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/12/19
I’ve been gearing up to run my first ultra for almost two years now. As someone who loves being active but has ZERO natural talent I appreciate Rob’s perspective. Listening to his podcasts in the car with my husband has also gotten the hubby pumped about running ultras too! What a bonus :)
RunDogMomRun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/19
For sure one of my favorite podcasts! He is such a real person, you can’t help but root for him!
redgbxxeficxhiofoxvvjvkxi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/19
Great interviews with a conversational tone. I am about 10 episodes in and so far so good. Keep up the good fight Rob. Making content is hard work.
JRL2012 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/19
As a newbie to ultra running this helped me a lot! I really appreciate all the info!
