    Hard to listen to
    I like the content but the way they talk is hard…….to listen to. Two of the……….three……………..hosts have the annoying habit of stopping in the……………….middle of sentences for long pauses - think William Shatner but way worse. Combine that with their rapid fire slurred speech and it’s hard to follow.

    Best running podcast ever
    I love listening to these guys!!! Rojo has to be my favorite, I love some of his “hot takes” (and even agree with a lot of them!!!). Best place to hear experts talk about running.

    Thumbs x2 👍 👍
    Very informative and entertaining. You guys ask the hard questions that others are too scared to ask. Awesome guest interviews too!

    Best running podcast out there!
    They cover pro running like a real sport and offer great analysis, hot takes, and interviews. The three hosts have a fun dynamic and keep things entertaining. Definitely worth joining the Supporters Club for the bonus podcast.

    Fantastic Podcast!!!
    Love the show, but what was happening at the end of the Trials Preview/BU Terrier Recap podcast? It was cutting out a lot. Keep up the good work!! Love the podcast!!!

    Thank you for adding chapters!
    11/16/23 Update: Wow! This is awesome. Someone is reading these reviews — took my feedback and (in less than 2 weeks) the new episodes now have chapters. Thank you! — Previous Review — Your content is good, but you can’t expect everyone to listen to every topic you talk about. Podcast is more than just audio content uploaded. Make it easy for us to stay interested. Adding timestamps is not enough for chapters because Apple’s Podcast app ignores it. Please add chapters so we can skip topics less interesting to some of us. Thanks!

    Robert is the Man
    5 stars for Robert’s hot take on Non-binary athlete in “sports”. This prize money stuff is a joke. I’m totally fine with it outside of sports but stop trying to ruin sports and in particular women’s sports. 4.4 stars for Jon and 4.7 for Weldon, we need you guys to go crazy like Robert on various topics haha
  • Robert McD
    Keeps you up on track, but at the cost of some sanity
    Jonathan Gault does a great job fact checking and keeping the conversation on course. Only reason I still listen. Helps me keep up to date with everything in track but have my hand on the fast forward every time Rojo starts. Rants get tiring quickly
  • Kangiephil
    Track Talk at its Best
    I love to run and am not a huge track follower, but I get my fix from listening to these guys. The information and inside knowledge is great. Love The banter between the three hosts. Rojo rants keep me fired up.
  • I love Obree
    Disappointed
    I listened to the entirety of 3 or 4 episodes about a year ago and then tried again a few weeks ago with another 2 or 3 episodes. As others have pointed out there is open sexism and transphobia. While disturbing, the mere act of saying such things is not what bothers me the most and not why I decided to leave a review. I left the review because I was bothered by the comments and 5 star reviews celebrating the hosts willingness to say “what others won’t”. This struck me as a bit absurd because there is no shortage of individuals willing to fill the air with fear and hatred. I don’t know in what depths or with what nuances they have thought about or discussed these issues because as I said I have only listened to at most 7 shows. It seems hard to believe that there has been an attempt by any participants on the show to understand issues beyond their initial small mindedness. This review will not change anyone’s mind and certainly will label me as just another idiot “libtard”. I would like to say that I’m not writing this with an agenda outside of the real pain and hurt and damage this podcast’s rhetoric causes for innocent people. It contributes to a larger body of vitriol that normalizes hate and endangers the wellbeing and sometimes even the life of individuals that are only trying to find happiness like all of us.

    Entertaining and informative
    The guys put on a great podcast. A lot of great information plus they tackle issues traditional media is afraid to talk about. Rojos rants are funny plus it is amusing listening to Jon contract him in his mispronounced names. The takes on upcoming races are always informative.
  • Thelazyshrimp
    Tone deaf
    Blatant disrespect to transgender athletes — no one deserves a medal for actually getting someone’s pronouns right. Additionally we should not have to say people’s birth sex when introducing them. Additionally, if any of their “favourite” athletes fall short or if there’s an upset it’s like these guys moan and complain and try to put the other athletes down. Overall yikes
  • MDy2021
    Robert Johnson is tone deaf
    Robert Johnson compared the Shelby Houlihan situation to George Floyd and I will never be listening to this podcast again.
  • RunBikeHike8
    Please seek education on transgender etiquette
    The hosts’ comments about transgender athletes leave me feeling sick to my stomach. On the most recent show, the hosts repeatedly used female pronouns to describe a transgender, non-binary athlete, despite the athlete’s clear statement that they use they/them pronouns. The hosts also commented that broadcasters should state the athlete’s “birth gender” when introducing the athlete. These comments made me feel that the hosts weren’t treating transgender people with dignity and respect. Please consider learning about transgender etiquette. For example, GLAAD has a transgender media reference guide that might be helpful.
  • Crab Colson
    A must-listen for runners
    The personalities and the way they play off each other is what makes this a GREAT listen. The show has re-energized my interest in professional running as I was losing tough w the star runners. Plenty of humour too. Great job guys!
  • Tom Bombadil Day O
    Best all-round podcast I listen to.
    This is the best podcast I know of. Super insightful at all levels of the sport, but also has a casual and unrehearsed chemistry among the hosts that I find incredible (fair enough if not to everyone’s taste). Was skeptical about them getting intro music, but even that wound up fitting perfectly. Great show.

    5 stars
    All the rants!
  • reedruns
    Rojo the Clown
    Great listening. Rojo has some odd takes but Wejo and Jon G keep him on a leash

    Zero stars for the conspiratorial trash that they allow on their website.

  • MNkiwi
    Don’t listen
    I stopped listening to this podcast because I couldn’t stand the Johnson bro’s. Never fail to mention that they graduated from the Ivy League that Daddy got them into. Ill-informed political opinions. Marble-mouthed yet think they’re amazing commentators. Tried again this week. Still can’t stand them.
  • BBruns3
    Worth the time
    I listen every week and every week I feel connected to the sport I love! Have visited letsrun.com since the beginning. Consider this podcast both informative and keeps you to to date on everything running.
  • Judyxfit
    Entertaining and inspirational!
    Every time I listen I laugh and get inspired. The interview with Dr. Madeline Manning Mims is simply awesome- what a role model!!! Please keep this podcast going! Your banter and raw humor is so refreshing and uplifting!!!
  • jack_F@
    Favorite Podcast
    I enjoy every episode
  • tottenhahn
    Love these guys
    Best way to stay up to date in all running related news. The ‘jo brothers are a constant source of entertainment and Jonathan Gault has amazing insights and comprehensive knowledge about the history of the sport.
  • CoachHoran
    Best running pod!
    Easily my favorite running podcast. I enjoy it every week. It’s like sports talk radio for running fans. Keep bringing us rants, corrections of misinformation during rants, guests, inside info, and running news! It makes being a running fan easier and more fun.
  • AllysFamily
    Entertaining and Informative
    I listen to this podcast during my Saturday long runs. Love the insights, opinions and the banter. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work.
  • skyty24
    Awesome podcast
    Love listening to these guys every week to get a news update in the distance running word. These guys know what they are talking about when it comes to analyzing and predicting performances. Great banter and hot takes between them keep it interesting. All in all very enjoyable. Hope you guys keep this up!

    An excellent weekly discussion on track and field that is informative and very enjoyable. These runners are knowledgable and this makes it very addictive. I can't to listen.

    Great Job!
    Please do more of this - great content!!
  • Chris 3456fg
    An emergency podcast?!
    Ok these guys are officially fanatical in their obsession with running. They usually have a weekly show but this week they couldn’t wait to discuss the news about Vaporflys so they added a Friday edition. The unique blend of the twins and Jonathan Gault makes for an entertaining and sometimes snippy show. It’s always fun even if it runs a little long sometimes.

    Finally a podcast (and Website) for serious fans of distance running and track and field. I’ve been listening to the podcast for 6 months and I look forward to the new episode every week. The website coverage is also outstanding. Jonathan and the Johnsons are great. I was so tried of Runners World and it’s podcast being the go-to source for running news. It was for the beginner and useless for an experienced runner and dedicated fan of the sport. Let’s Run has saved my sanity.
  • OldOHRunner
    Long time listener, first time caller
    Started visiting Letsrun in 2001 when the Brothers Johnson were still competing. The podcast has been an entertaining and enlightening addition to the website. I hope they stick with the weekly episode for 2020.

    Mr. Gault should be given equity in the business if he hasn’t already.
  • Washed-up Runner
    Hmmmm?
    Did you steal the intro from Peaked too Early!?
  • WriteJohnWrite
    Insightful, hilarious listening
    As an amateur runner and fan of elite distance running, I've followed Letsrun.com for more than a decade. I still check the site, but have enjoyed listening to, and not just reading, what Rojo, Wejo, and Jonathan Gault have to say, hot takes and all. I appreciate the timely reporting on events, the regularity of the show, with a consistent weekly release, difficult as that must be, and the dynamic. Hope they keep it going in 2020 as we head towards the Trials and Olympics.
  • Marathawn Jawn
    Very Entertaining!
    These guys have great chemistry. They are wacky and silly, but also very knowledgeable within the sport of track & field. I love listening to these guys. It’s the only podcast I truly look forward to each week!
  • John 694883
    The Best Podcast for the Competitive Running
    Knowledgeable, humorous and in depth. They also don’t try to please anyone but tell it like it is.....with factual insight to match. Wish they had enough time and incentive for 3 a week!
  • mr. mizuno
    Great Podcast
    I love listening to these guys. They are knowledgeable and entertaining and have a lot of insight into the running world. They provide good background information on major events and interesting speculation about outcomes.
  • Bryce DeSantis
    Fun AND informative
    If you can get information out and make it fun then you are doing something right. These guys are just that.
