Brookipye Best running podcast ever! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This is one of the best running podcasts to hear! Very informative and inspiring. I look forward to every episode! Vance1313 Incredible and informative ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I love this podcast so much and look forward to its release each week! It’s so informative and helpful and tackles a lot of issues us runners think and worry about silently, it’s so great to have them addressed and helpful solutions along with it. Claire is also very well spoken, and I really enjoy the interviews where she challenges the way her guest thinks/operates, she’s great at adding a different perspective and it helps the guest speaker really dive in deep with their knowledge. Amazing podcast, keep up the great work! CatterBatter Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
