A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

consistently delivers life and running advice that lands and sticks with me, I love listening to coach bennett in the mornings before my walk or run, and taking what he says throughout my day.

anna clarice · Jun 2026

I stopped running for many many years, convinced that my knees couldn’t handle it. But with the support of a loved one who had found Coach Bennett’s guided runs on the NRC app, I slooooowly and gingerly dipped a toe back into the running waters. I used NRC’s “First Run” guided run, and with Coach Bennett’s comforting guidance the whole way, was reunited with this activity that I had loved so much, and that was as familiar and beloved as a long-lost friend. I truly got misty-eyed. From that first 20-minute run, I’ve now worked up to running 10K regularly, for the sheer joy of it. Now, as for the podcast, I love just having Coach Bennett’s low-key advice and stories and encouragement playing as the soundtrack of my days. It’s like he provides not only the positivity and optimism and encouragement that we adults always give to kids and teens but somehow stop believing in ourselves along the way, but he also gives us back our youthful faith to take it in and live by it!

Sunshine on my shoulders... · Jun 2026

I’ve been using the NRC app since 2012. My first ever guided run was with Coach Bennett in 2020. It made me cry. I had never cried on a run before, but I couldn’t help it. He was the voice of support and encouragement I never had and didn’t know I needed. I’m grateful for his podcasts and appreciate the stories and knowledge he shares. Thanks Coach! I can’t wait to see you on the next starting line!

Hey_River · May 2026

Best Damn Podcast in the Land! My go to podcast for recovery workouts. Coach Bennett clears away the negativity, fires me up to try new challenges and encourages being a kinder individual to all (including myself).

splat-matt · Apr 2026

I really, really wanted to like Coach Bennett’s podcast and I tried. I’ve listen to so many episodes, but I can’t get myself to. Coach Bennett talks a lot about food, goes off on so many random tangents and is constantly repeating himself. I came to his podcast to learn now to become a better runner. I was looking for tips, ways to improve my mental stamina etc, and yes their a those things in the podcasts but you have to listen to Coach Bennett rambling on and on about 18 other things before he gets to the point. I just can’t with this podcast.
