crushtheworld ,

Kelly rocks!

This show is such a dose of fun and awesome. It’s so nice to listen to a podcast host who asks great questions that aren’t contrived and manufactured for sound bites. Love this!!!

saraheholmes ,

Love this show

I love this podcast! Kelly is so sweet and I find this show so helpful and relatable. Keep it up💕

RunRiceRun ,

Keeps Running Real!

Kelly keeps running real and relatable as she discusses many topics like training, her personal experiences, and many more. She is the type of podcaster I want my athletes to listen to as she helps breakdown the stigma of needing to be a fast runner, need to run x miles to be a runner, and other rigid thinking that I see in runners.
