I listen to a LOT of podcasts, and this is the one I look forward to every week. I love hearing about all of the races that Mark and Elena run, and they keep me informed of the running world. I love it so much that I went back and re-listened to old episodes for a second time. I wish there were more running podcasts like this. 4 years after the last episode, and I’m still subscribed, hoping and hoping the pod comes back!

Great listen.

I enjoy hearing all the running news and catching up with your training Mark and Elena! Keep it up!

I have to say that Mark and Elana are two of my favorite running voices. They have a love of he sport that is apparent in their tone and discussions. I love their race recaps and general discussion! Keep up the great work

Love this podcast. I'm a new runner training for my first half and hearing Mark and Elena's enthusiasm helps keep me pumped for my next run. The way they talk about this marathon and that marathon they did like it's no big deal makes it seem so achievable.

Very entertaining and informative! I look forward to each episode.

love you guys, always a good listen, fun and helps to learn about races and running

Great show and enjoyed!

Runner perspective race reviews. Funny endearing hosts.

I love this podcast. The hosts are funny and personable and don't make feel like a dork (I'm a back-of-the-packer). Their race recaps are the best! Keep up the good work.

I really enjoy this podcast. Mark and Elena have a great communication style and are very easy to listen too. Not "over the top" trying to motivate, sell something, or be funny but rather just communicating good information. They are very experienced runners so I enjoy the race reviews, equipment discussions, elite runner discussions etc.

I started listening to this in the spring of 2015 and am so glad I did. Mark & Elena cover all sorts of topics from specific races, gear, habit/lifestyle choices, training, news in the sport, and take the time to give listener feedback every episode. I really appreciate that last part because you can tell they connect with their listeners and enjoy what they do! This podcast has helped me get over training hurdles, prepare for races, check out new races to add to my list, and just get through some runs! Keep it up! Hope to see you at a race some day :)

I have been listening to the podcast for last couple of months. Have listened to all the episodes on itunes couple of times . I am new to running and manged to run 3 miles now without stopping. Planning to run my first half marathon in Sep/Oct. Not sure which one to pick for the debut. I am local to Charlotte and looking for something in NC. Keep up the good work and thank you for keeping me company on my runs :)

I've listened to this podcast every week on my runs for more than a year now. Mark and Elena are easy and fun to listen to. They have a fun banter with each other, talk mainly about running stuff which is great for running motivation, and have some silliness thrown in. I love this podcast!

Great informative podcast. It's like Mark and Elena are right there with me on those long runs.

You guys are fun to listen to and I really enjoy your takes on running...please keep up the great work!

In fact it's easily my favorite podcast and has been for some time. Mark and Elena are genuinely nice people who are passionate about running. They keep it very conversational and low key. They never get preachy. Rather, they are sharing their sport and telling us about their running adventures out there. Their race recaps are extremely motivating and was the inspiration to progress 10k > half marathon > marathon. I'd give more than five stars if I could.

Love this podcast. Enjoyable and informative. Great balance of information and personal journey. Hope you keep it up forever.

My favorite running podcast. I look forward to listening to Mark and Elena share their passion for running. At this time in my running journey I don't need to always have someone trying to teach me something. I do listen to those types of podcasts too. I just enjoy listening to these two talking about running and their experiences the way I would with my running friends. Thanks, Mark and Elena.

Thanks for consistently putting out episodes. Mark and Elana are a great team and its fun to listen to thier running week. Nice to get a perspective from a part of the country where running is so promoted.

Just getting back into running with the goal of entering races. Hearing race recaps from people who are passionate about running is very motivating.

Fairly new to running. I really enjoy the podcast. Found myself wondering on Sunday how Elana and Mark were doing at Big Sur. I appreciate the science and research they present at times. Five stages of running was very helpful to me as I trained for my first marathon. Look forward to the podcast each week. Keep up the good work.

This is, quite simply, the best running podcast I've found. Mark and Elena do a great job of covering a wide variety of topics from their personal stories of their training, news from the running world, and then finally in depth race recaps. Every topic is really interesting and I think very helpful to runners of all abilities. What I like most is that they are two regular runners who are very relatable in how much they love the sport. It is the greatest and most pure of all sports and they truly help keep my passion for it.

So after a year of listening, I figured it's time to finally write a review! I look forward to the podcast every week and identify with both Mark and Elena in their running journeys! Keep it up!!!

This is a great podcast. I love the race reports and can relate to running through aches and pains. I look forward each week to the new podcast.

I look forward to this duo every week. What they did, how many miles they ran and what is next on the schedule. I smile every time I run with them (via podcast).

These two are fun to listen to. I can't wait to get out to Cali and run some races.

This is a great running podcast. I don't know why more people don't listen to it. And they don't go for runs during their podcast. Someone reviewed the wrong podcast. I always look forward to new episodes. Check it out if you haven't yet.

Love this podcast. Informative and motivating. Love the personalities of both. Reliably, once a week, every week, is the best. Look forward to it each time. Keep it up. Good luck on your races.

Really enjoy this podcast, fresh and fun to listen to. They run a lot of races, so it's nice to get a different perspective on races!

Thanks for the Podcasts! I love listening on my runs. Keep them coming!

Never understood why so many of the running podcasts are recorded while running. Annoying to listen to being out of breath....Go for your run then record at home afterwards!

My favorite running related podcast. Hosts offer a very informative, entertaining, and reliable (show is recorded and out to download every week). They hv great chemistry, topics, and voices. Couldn't ask for more!

This is a very enjoyable podcast and is great to listen to while I'm running. Very in informative and easy to understand for beginner and novice runners. I'm glad they have one weekly and hope they keep it up for a long time.

ER quickly grew in to one of my favorite running podcasts. Mark and Elena have a fun on-air vibe and great attitude toward running, racing, goals, fitness. They don't take themselves too seriously and keep the topics light, clever, and running-related. Great fun to hear about all the cool Northern California/SF Bay Area races they participate in. Common sense from real runners - ahh, the joys of podcasting. If you like Running with the Pack you'll adore this one. Keep running!

I always look forward to this California's couple saga of dedication to running!

a man/woman team that runs back on itunes!! and you guys are good as well, downloaded 1 and 2 and now im back for more. just got over knee bursitas so i feel u on the knee injuries brother! thx for the great podcast you guys !

I've enjoyed the commentary. Thanks for not huffing and puffing (running while podcasting is definitely an art) so I can't understand what you are saying. I hope you keep putting out podcasts on a regular basis.

Enjoying the new podcasts!! Im new to running. i started 5 months ago with one if the couck to 5k apps with the intention of losing weight. Now my day just doesnt seem complete unless i get my run in. i think i understand that "runners high" now which sounded absolutely ridiculous to me a year ago. Im now thinking of signing up for a 5K. i want to thank yall for taking the time to do this podcasts!!! im nowhere near your experience but hopefuly one day i will be!!!
