What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love the interviews he does with various runners not just top athletes. The series on the RDs has been a great insight on different races out there and what goes into them. Great job Troy, keep up the great work!

flyingcow10 · Apr 2026

Some of the trail running podcasts I listen to only focus on the elite runner. It’s nice to hear about relatable individuals that run for the joy of it, to push self limits, for self discovery, to enjoy the scenery, or for any other reason aside from winning .. give this podcast a chance !

easyisdoable · Dec 2025

This is exactly the content I look for that is rare these days! Ultra running podcasts have moved away from simply sharing race experiences but this is what I love most!

Ouachitarunner · Oct 2025

It’s great to listen to training and race stories from people that are more like us average runners and not just the elites. Really enjoy listening, especially on my early morning training runs
