Customer Reviews
Excellent pod for trail running
Great content keep it up!
Refreshing coverage
I live in the U.S.; few podcasts based here cover the W. European and/or sub-ultra running scenes. Refreshing to hear trail news from a non-U.S. perspective and to round out my info sources somewhat. Thank you!
