Such an amazing and encouraging tool kit. Never thought I could run. So wrong. Start listening, even if it’s just to help your negative self talk about any kind of goal!!

I’ve been a listener for years but something has been bothering me for quite some time now: everything feels like an ad for Run Your Best Life, Jill’s $50 a month run club. It feels like in at least half the episodes that Jill tells you in order to be your best self you have to give her $50 a month.
Now the latest episode is an hour long ad for her run vacation? For $4,000 you can spend a week running with Jill.
Running already feels so prohibitive for far runners. This is the only podcast I know dedicated to slow and fat runners. But it’s constantly bombarding you to spend money that so many of us just don’t have!
I understand that Jill has to make money somehow and I don’t have to spend any money or even listen to the podcast. But the constant pushing of Run Your Best Life and now the Alaska trip has really irked me and rubbed me the wrong way. I’d rather listen to an ad for Skratch or Nuun or something while listening about running and slow/fat runners.

Great info for anyone about the proper care and feeding of your body, especially those of us who love running!

tarted listening to this podcast after reading an article about Jill Angie in a running magazine. I’ve wanted to become a runner for several years but I thought I had to lose weight first. Jill teaches women how to run in the body they are already in. This idea blew my mind!! I didn’t know I could do that! I am now a runner! Jill is an amazing running coach but she also teaches mental thought work. You are working on yourself physically and mentally. I’ve learned that you need both. I love listening to this podcast while I run. Thanks Jill for your amazing work!

While I can overlook the profanity, the real issue lies in the tone and content of this podcast. The host frequently encourages gossip and casual drinking as part of the “community”, which completely undermines any message of personal growth or empowerment. It’s disappointing to see something that could have been uplifting turn into a platform that normalizes behavior that doesn’t align with strong moral values. Definitely not for me.
