What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I started listening to this last year while I was training for Chicago and don’t plan on stopping any time soon! I absolutely love this podcast - makes me even more excited about running and setting big goals!

Natalie Daube · Apr 2026

Loving this podcast! Kristian has had on such amazing and inspiring guests. He does a great job getting them to tell their stories with the right type of questions. I also very much appreciate the Boston series as I’m headed to my 2nd Boston. Also, love to hear about Kristian’s own marathon journey.

BoulderDude333 · Mar 2026

Kristian is an excellent interviewer, and I love how thoughtfully he dives into the details with each of his guests. He has a great way of bringing out meaningful stories and insights that allow you to really get to know his guests and their stories. Fantastic podcast to listen to on a run.

Carrie - Bionic Runner Babe · Mar 2026

I have been enjoying this podcast thoroughly. Every episode, I learned something, and I really like the variety of speakers. I’m making my way back to the very first one!
