Your New Running Friends!

I found this podcast 2 years ago when desperately trying to get motivated for an 8 mile training run. I chose an episode on keeping a good mindset during long runs. As I listened, I laced up and got out the door. Trevor and Angie are great together! Their completely different styles mesh beautifully. They are also super down to earth - real people who you can relate to who love to run. Their guests are great, and every single episode has something I can use in my daily training. Then I fell in love with their virtual running medals. Just go on the website and check them out. They are beautiful, clever and inspiring. I was training for my first marathon, and as a masters runner, I wanted to do that safely and confidently. I used one of their coaches and accomplished that amazing goal. Then I did it again, faster! I’m training with Coach Abby for my third. Enjoy this podcast. These people are going to be your new best running friends!

The Best!

I’ve listened to every running podcast i can find, and this one is just the best! I’ve been listening for years, and catch every episode, even though I don’t know if I’ll ever actually run a full marathon. I struggle to find the motivation to run, and this podcast is by far the best tool I have found to get me out the door and keep me going. Trevor and Angie make it fun, interesting, full of variety, and —this is what really sets it apart — listener-focused. It’s edited so well and intentionally, it always feels engaging and purposeful, not rambly. Thanks for accompanying me on so many runs, MTA, and encouraging me to leep being excited about running, even though it’s hard!
