Customer Reviews
Thank you
I look forward to each new episode that comes out. Great podcast!
Unbiased Research Driven Endurance Content
Always high quality guests and content. Research heavy, but able to bring it back to practical applications primarily for ultra marathon runners.
No ads, no sponsored content. Unbiased apart from his loyalty to CTS Training.
Simply the best
Koop never ceases to impress with relevant topics, deep dives into current research, and critically, practical takeaways in every episode. Moreover his choice to remain ad and sponsor free is indicative of his unwavering commitment to providing information that is unbiased with regard to the usual hawking of products and supplements so common in other running/training podcasts. Finally, his unfiltered commentary and sharp humor make this the #1 podcast in my feed-as it has been since it’s first airing. I regret that I am only now just reviewing it! If you are serious about your training and racing-or simply just someone who geeks out on the science of it all, IMHO there is no other podcast that comes close.
