Thanks for a holistic, well-researched show!” KDB_runs ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Useful information and the physical and mental approaches to running “I enjoy this podcast because it consistently offers high-quality information about a topic that I’ve usually been thinking about. Recent episodes have been timely, whether they are related to running in the heat or thinking about weight during a marathon training block. I would be interested to hear about pacing throughout a run/race in order to get more consistent or negative splits.” AMarkOnTheWorld Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
