Customer Reviews
Love this show
I love this podcast! Kelly is so sweet and I find this show so helpful and relatable. Keep it up💕
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.
Your new long run bestie!
Kelly has been a great addition to my podcast rotation! She’s super responsive on instagram and I feel like she’s my running buddy. Love the variety of topics. Go check her out!
