Glad I found this podcast

I just know found this podcast so I’m catching up; but everything I’ve listened to I feel brings all of the best things from Steve’s experiences in previous podcast into an even better informative podcast that helps all runners. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hitting their stride

I’ve followed Steve for a while from a previous Podcast, where he had more of a complimentary (albeit highly entertaining) role. It’s been very cool following the progress on this new podcast, where he and Krysten started a little apprehensively, but episode by episode they have grown into their roles.
They are now nailing it, and it’s really turning into a dynamic podcast where you might get a deeper mental game discussion, training tips, nutrition, and now we are getting back into my favorite stuff; fanboys! Steve has the best rants on the competitive racing world - and you can also tell that Tomek is passionate about the sport. This podcast is always near the top of my list!
