Outstanding

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!!

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

One Giant Ad

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.
