Great Running Podcast

I really enjoy listening to this podcast.  In only the first two episodes I have learned tangible things and can be applied to my own running.  This is a running and ultra podcast that will entertain you and teach you something.  The hosts, Patrick (a top tier ultra runner) and Mike (a running store manager and everyday runner) are genuially good dudes that know their running stuff.  This should become a staple in your podcast rotation.
