Carrie’s energy and excitement — whether about running, career, family, or passion projects — is infectious! I love the variety of guests she brings on her show (I especially loved hearing from Susan Ejore, who apparently had never done a podcast before despite being one of the best 1500m runners in the world) and her ability to make everyone feel comfortable and get excited about their own accomplishments. It’s also interesting to hear Carrie’s insights as a former pro runner/Olympian sprinkled throughout. Thank you for putting a spotlight on folks who aren’t superstars, but may incredible in their own right or on the brink of a breakout season — we want to hear from them too!!

Carrie does a great job of bringing in a variety of running-related guests and then drawing them out of their shells. This isn’t necessary for all guests, but many are clearly introverts and Carrie’s gentle approach helps us to learn who these people really are. I particularly liked the episode with Shalaya Kipp—I’d love to hear her on more podcasts! I remember her food blog from her earlier days; such a talented human. Adding a vote to work on the podcast volume issues: the guests are usually very quiet compared to Carrie and this is hard when wearing headphones while at work! A lot of volume adjusting. Thanks for doing this work to lift people up!

Why put out an episode which c sounds like everyone is under water.

Keep up the great work, Carrie! Loved your interview with Fiona!
