Customer Reviews
Can't Get Enough
Running and Fitness with Raj is an excellent podcast. Raj interviews many known runners, authors, coaches and people in medical fileds related to running etc. Great content always. But Raj also talks with average runners who have achieved much in running, that I never would have come across. I have found these talks to be even more fascinating. Raj is a teriffic host and interviewer, often going deeper into subjects to gain more insights. Many times he asks questions that I would have wanted to ask. His podcast is intelligent and pleasant and I really enjoy it.
Born to Run
Awesome start, great content and mix of recos, I would like your tips and focus for the daily 4-7 KM runners who need that nudge to get to the next level in terms of equipment, endurance, mental prep etc. We will find the time.
Waiting impatiently
Very excited after listening to the short clips of upcoming podcasts.
