Customer Reviews
Best running podcast available
By far the best running podcast available. Great interviews and interesting topics without having to listen to someone breath hard as they run. I've "test listened" to numerous recommended running podcasts and Running Times stands out. It is hard to find a running podcast that doesn't involve 45 minutes of B.S. ing combined with ten minutes worth of info but this is the one.
Best
My favorite. No nonsense, useless music you do not want (thks I have my own), informative information. I donot like to run while listening to podcast but I do so with this one on my recovery runs.
Stellar
RT is a stellar production. The interviewers are articulate and witty, simultaneously providing insightful and useful information on training and what the life of an elite runner is like. The interviewees are thoughtful and well-spoken also. Audio quality is very good...
