Chris is a wonderful coach and human. It has been a treasure to watch his evolution over almost ten years.

Highly recommend this podcast for in depth ultra training advice and motivation. No matter your experience level, Chris offers insight into the backbones of training on all fronts - running, biking, cycling, and even paddle boarding. I haven’t been able to finance a personal trainer myself at this time in life and I look forward to each episode filled with detailed insight and authentic motivation. I use this podcast to help explore my athletic journey and bases for training plans. One day I plan to continue the conversation with a personal trainer, and Chris’ podcast will always be a great listen.

Chris’s passionate authenticity is contagious. This podcast inspires true self reflection and improvement. There are no hacks here.

This podcast is one of the best out there in terms of the actual value it provides. Chris does a great job of communicating training and endurance topics while backing them up with easy-to-understand explanations. No bells and whistles here and they aren’t needed! One of the best podcasts I’ve found for actually providing value.

This podcast has helped me to learn a ton about the ultra endurance world, without actually entering it. I’ve finished a few marathons and shorter events, but for the longest time struggled with my why. “Why do I keep signing up for longer events?” That’s a question that both others asked me, and what I asked myself. This podcast and Chris’s insight on how our minds work with respect to this topic helped me uncover that I was running to impress others. Of course I got a lot more out of running (improved health, sense of accomplishment in finishing, etc), but that was the main reason. Since that discovery, I’ve reset and gotten back to the core. I’ve fell back in love with running after taking a short break, and I couldn’t be happier to be on this journey we call life. This podcast gives training insights, important discussions on priorities, and raw inspiration to its listeners. Chris, as long as you create podcasts, I’ll consume them. Your principles apply to more than just running, and you’ve helped me become a better athlete and a better person. Give this podcast a listen and you won’t be disappointed. Let the reviews and podcast rating speak for itself.

This podcast is amazing for Ultra Endurance and Endurance Athletes (who went “pro” in something other than their sport), and want to hear from a winning athlete and coach. The insights Chris shares about Athlete’s Mindset keep me coming back. Thank you!

Never met Chris but he has a unique ability to makes you feel as if you indeed had met. Very inspiring for those of us that seek the personal challenge and accomplishment through fitness.

Chris is truly knowledgeable on all things endurance. The information that he shares on this podcast has changed the way I train. His focus on recovery and taking care of the rest of your life to help improve fitness has helped me immensely in my endurance goals. This podcast is very much worth a listen if you’re interested in the world of ultra events.

i’ve cultivated an exclusive list of podcasts for my time starved athletic life and im very happy to have found this one right up my alley —i get stokkked every time a new episode drops for any of these— **my top 5 (in no particular order):** trainerroad rich roll the weekly word purple patch tower26/imtalk (ok so i guess top6)

I have gain so much insight on the joy, creating a challenge, rest, 3 legged stool, of athletic endurance. I was not an athlete in my past but enjoyed biking and hiking to be in nature. My son asked me 5 years ago if I would like to do a triathlon. Of course I was excited to take the challenge not knowing how to swim, something new to learn. I have made podium 4x and am looking to do an Olympic distance in 2019. 2020 plan to do half Ironman and a full Ironman 2021. Using Chris wisdom, encouragement, on his podcast I am looking forward to the fun of meeting these challenges I am a very busy grandma/wife/mother/sister/friend but with keeping the 3 legged stool in mind my journey will be my special place

I absolutely love listening to Chris’ podblast. I started listening around episode 50 but have been able to catch up from episode 1 to current and it is awesome. There is so much info on every single show. There is something for everyone, no matter what the distance is- short or ultra. I have recently started running 50Ks and this podcast gets me thru my long runs and gives me a perspective of why things happen the way they do on the long runs. Thank you, Chris! Here is to many more episodes!

Suddenly knot weekly and I would like to do anything positive I can to hasten a timely and appropriate return- Sending tech mojo in case crazzy issues are restricting otherwise solid recurring action- Thank you for the results I am realizing- by being patient, and learning true place heart responds results in high quality running that isn’t part figment if imagination- Good stuff I guess would hav sufficed butt did I say no post here last Friday and highly addictive behavior is showing, so I shall sign off for n o w

This podcast is awesome! There are no ads, nobody trying to sell me something, and no long winded intro’s. It’s just pure good information on how to improve as an athlete. It’s the best podcast of its kind.

Ok, ok, ok, you convinced me. I'm slowing down. Well and it's working. Thanks

This is such a great podcast. Coaching and advice is terrific.

if you're into endurance athletics at all, even if you're new to it and exploring, this is a must listen to me. Chris shares so much good information in a long-form conversational style that is really easy to understand, digest, and apply to your own training. Just so full of information and inspiring every week.
