I love this podcast! Thanks Julie and Lisa for sharing your insights and wisdom, and your real life experiences. I’ve been so inspired in my Boston Marathon training!

I’m always so happy when each episode pops up on my feed. I’ve learned a TON from Lisa and Julie. I’ll keep listening!

Thank you Lisa for sharing your incredible experience at the Pan Am Maccabi games. It felt like we were there on this journey with you 😀. Well done to you and Alex on multiple “golds”….brilliant!!

Julie and Lisa are real, funny, and practical. I love listening to their stories and tips. Highly recommend.

This podcast is incredible but this particular focus on Coach Lisa and her accomplishment with her son at the Pan American Maccabee games was truly inspiring! To achieve gold 20 years apart is amazing! Beyond this particular show, Julie and Lisa put together such a great show with amazing guests! Thank you for your continued inspiration to me and so many others! Can’t wait for the next episode!

I love listening to Julie and Lisa! I get great tips, terrific interviews, and it feels like they are invested in the running community. Great podcast!!

If you are going to run Boston this will help. Luis Mt. pleasant, Iowa

Love this podcast. Thanks for the great tips and relatability.

Listening to the episode that talks about how little changes make a big difference in training was balm to my broken heart (after a really hard marathon that didn’t go the way I planned). Concrete useful tips paired with compassion!

I’m never going to be an elite athlete, but this podcast helps make me better. The hosts are relatable and provide great tips for improving at any level.

I truly credit Lisa and Julie for preparing me to run the 2022 Boston Marathon (achieving a lifelong athletic dream). I continue to listen because these coaches provide so much value that help me continue to improve as a masters runner. The episode topics can be very race specific (thanks for the insight on MCM!) or more thought provoking about how we interact with training and this sport in the context of our lives. Thanks so much for all you do to connect every day runners with expert advice from you both and your guests.

I like your show very much but did not at all appreciate Mr. Rosen’s sarcastic tone about Saudia Arabia! I am from Egypt and I was a 19 years old girl in ‘89 and I used to run on the streets and had no problems at all, yet I would still respect the Saudi’s culture! Rest assured there are runners from all Arab countries who are listening to this podcast as well. I would still give your podcast five stars though!

My favorite Running podcast! While it is geared towards the Boston marathon, I find it beneficial for running and training in general. I have already learned so much, and I look forward to continuing to use the knowledge that I gain as I begin training for the Boston marathon in 2024.

One of the best podcast recommendations I have ever gotten! Julie and Lisa bring in guests who are perfect for what's going on for women in the running world today. I tell all of running girlfriends to listen. You won’t be disappointed!

Found this podcast just weeks before I ran Boston and it helped me solidify my race strategy which helped me achieve a PR!!!! This podcast is perfect for any marathoner…or any runner in general!!

Lisa and Julie have been inspiring me for years. This episode is like listening to the final game of the World Series - announced by Phil Rizzutto ! Whether you are running your first road race or your 19th Boston Marathon- I promise that you will take away some gems for Race Day from episode 168!

I love, love these ladies…as coaches and podcasters. I am constantly learning something new. My go to running podcast. I highly recommend you listen.

I am so grateful that my running buddy told me about this podcast. It is wonderful. I have learned so much about running —- and I am a seasoned runner! Thank you!!!

I have been a listener from episode 1 and being a runner for over 30 years, they give such good and sound advice. Being a past and current RFF client I can attest they know what they are doing. I just listened to the latest episode and appreciate the advice for spectators. My hubby probably could have used that 9 years ago when he came with a six month old (they also had barricades because of what happened in 2013). I also have advice for when my girls next come see me run as they both have been asking. Finally kudos to your supportive husband Julie who is willing and loves to spectate (and went with young kids multiple times). Great work Julie & Lisa!!

Offering great advice for all levels of runners based on their expertise and experience as coaches, Lisa and Julie also host a wide range of guests and experts from the running community to share their stories and knowledge. From important figures throughout the history of distance running to medical experts offering nutrition and injury prevention advice and everyone in between, there is always something interesting or fun to learn about in each episode!

This was the perfect episode to listen to 18 days out! As if I thought I couldn’t be any more excited!! I’ve been listening for a while and really enjoy your content. I can’t wait for my second Boston marathon and also learning about your shake out run on Sunday! Can’t wait to meet you both!

I love listening to this podcast on my runs or back and forth to work. I always look forward to the next episode. I have only ran 1 marathon but have ran many half marathons, 15k/10k/5ks. Love learning more from others. Keep up the get work and thank you for the motivation.

I enjoy listening to the 2 girls talk running. They get good interesting people for interviews. Lots of good running information from two experienced coaches.

I’m a long time off and on listener but I got hooked over the winter and even signed up for a coaching package! Lisa & Julie are wise and savvy when it comes to interviews, running advice, tough love, and tactics. Listening to them on my morning runs has taught me so much and brought me lots of joy! :) PS - if you’ve got a running goal or a race you’re prepping for I highly recommend signing up for one on one coaching… never before have I felt so cared for and carefully monitored as I do with them. I’m a certified coach myself and while I’m great coaching others I always stink at coaching myself. It’s been worth every penny!!

I have been listening to this podcast for a while now. I am not one of their clients but they always are willing to answer my questons and offer helpful suggestions. They provide great information not only for Boston but information any runner would find useful.

I’ve been listening to Lisa and Julie since 2020-it is my go-to podcast for everything running. They are amazing coaches and women. Highly recommend this podcast for all types of runners-new, veterans, short distance, endurance athletes. Love them!

I stumbled upon this podcast last week in preparation for my first Boston marathon. I am a seasoned runner and have run 27 marathons, including at least one on all 7 continents (yes, even Antarctica) and 5 Abbott World Marathon Majors, but I am already learning so much from Lisa and Julie. I enjoyed the episode with the physical therapist and especially the advice of not running as many days for those 50 and older. I’m not there yet, but it’s approaching. I have had overuse injuries and hurt my Achilles while training for London, so I backed off to running 3 days a week and allowing 2 days of recovery after a long run before running again. It seems to be working for me, as I ran the Tokyo marathon a few weeks ago in a pretty good time for me. I enjoyed the episode with Cherie and will start listening to her podcast on women’s stories. Finally, I loved the mile by mile breakdown of the Boston marathon episode. I feel mentally prepared after listening to it. Boston will be my 6th AWMM, so I look forward to crossing the finish line and earning my 6th star. Thanks for all the fantastic advice!

Most of the time I am listening to an audiobook or music while doing my early morning runs. Every now and again, I will pull up a podcast from Julie and Lisa. I always find that it hits home and I learn new things or review things I’ve already been told, and need to remember! I just love listening to the Boston podcast from about a week or two ago. The review of each mile and each city! I have worked with these ladies years ago and realize how helpful and honest they are! I am so glad everything pulled together for me, and I will get to run Boston next month!! I did run it as my second marathon in 2008. I’ve been trying my hardest to requalify and finally did with a PR! Excited to see them at the expo and join their shakeout run.

Hi Julie and Lisa! I was going through a rough time in my training last year for my first Boston when my daughter suggested I find a good running podcast. I searched for Boston podcasts and found you. No doubt you coached me through the remainder of my training. Your podcasts describing the race weekend were exactly what I needed to get me through the training and made me feel very excited. I felt very prepared as I arrived in Boston last year. The race was exactly as you had described and it could not have gone better. I have listened to every episode (several more than once) and look forward to every new episode as they come out. You always remind me to take it SLOW on my easy days and it’s just what I need to hear. The miles go quickly as I listen to you and your guests talk about all things running! I have learned so much. I am hoping to see you in Boston at your live show at the expo. I am feeling strong and ready and hoping for another PR. Thanks for all you do! You two are awesome!

Great info but as a new listener, it would be nice to have a little intro at the beginning of a new episode. I felt like I couldn’t jump in at a random episode because they just launch right in vs introducing themselves and the topic for the episode. Seemed a little scattered because of that.

Look forward to it every week , the insight to help even an experienced runner is great . A must for any runner , their Boston experiences and assistance are amazing

I look forward to this podcast every week! I always learn something listening to Lisa and Julie! Not only is it informative it is also entertaining to listen to these two friends talk! I put a few things on my holiday gift list for myself after listening to their favorite things episode!!

Running often demands so much self-motivation, which can easily turn into self-judgement. This podcast won’t let me start that narrative with myself. Since becoming a regular listener a year ago, I have become a more compassionate runner, which means running with myself has gotten a lot better. Also, Julie and Lisa are really experienced runners, but their enthusiasm and joy about running is what makes their qualifications shine. I’ll be a first-time Boston Marathon runner this April, and the information I got from this podcast is stellar and has tremendously boosted my confidence. At the same time, I know that listening along has also helped me to be a better person and to like myself more. And isn’t that extra push in the right direction what we all need?

Please have on “Paul and Sasha” from “Community News with Paul and Sasha”. Paul walks 20 miles a day, but Sasha really needs help. I think you can help her. Keep up the great work on this show.

I love, love , LOVE this podcast! Timely, helpful information and interviews geared towards all runners. It has been a huge confidence builder for me. Lisa and Julie - you rock!

Hands down, my favorite running podcast! The hosts are experienced endurance coaches who combine practical tips with engaging interviews. The RFAF podcast will leave you feeling motivated, inspired and ready to take on your next big running challenge! K. Richardson, M.D.

Julie and Lisa are terrific. Since this is a podcast rooted in the Boston Marathon, it’s not surprising that they have experience, credentials and tips to help anyone prepare for a successful race. But there are a lot of people out there with Boston Marathon creds. So what I really appreciate most about them is that they are down-to-earth and approachable running coaches who are human: they’re not perfect, they’re open about their own struggles and setbacks. I never feel intimidated by them like I often do when listening to other running podcasts. They’re self-deprecating. They’re funny and their strong friendship is genuine. I simply enjoy listening to them and I’m grateful that they share their knowledge and passion for running with us listeners. Add in their interesting and expert guests that cover diverse topics related to running, health, nutrition, etc., this podcast is 5-star.

Great podcast and more important love the coaching. I started with Julie about five months ago from nothing and am on track for a half marathon soon. I got Covid, which caused me to adjust goals. I read somewhere in one of the comments that the podcast had different viewpoints on how to deal with Covid. All I know is that Julie recommended I ramp up after Covid slowly bc the research says picking up immediately where u left off could cause some long term Covid symptoms. Without Julie I definitely would have pushed myself so as not to lose any conditioning. I’d rather be conservative and healthy. For what it’s worth, I’ve been fully vaccinated and boosted. Thank u, Julie.

Love this podcast. The coaches have a wealth of knowledge always presented with enthusiasm, honesty and fun banter! Along with the wonderful first hand experiences shared by the hosts, I learn new things from each of their guests!

I love this podcast!! I have been a runner for years and years and I still learn new things from listening to Julie and Lisa. Love their guest that they have on the show. I also take the advice they give me, I know it’s coming from experienced and knowledgeable athletes, who are very smart. Sometime I have to second guess myself if I’m eating right or warming up correctly before a run and just over all wellness but when I listen to this podcast I know what to works and how to correct myself. I recommend this podcast to everyone who wants to improve their running, nutrition over all fitness and also to be entertained. I hope one day soon I will have the opportunity to meet both of them.

Love listening to Julie, Lisa and their guests. I thoroughly appreciate the provocative conversation and the willingness to listen and air a broad range of ideas! I always come away with something useful to implement in my own, ever changing, health and wellness journey💕

Julie and Lisa are the real deal. They open their podcast to differing view points which gives listeners the space to draw objective conclusions about all things health/running. They don’t try to be “above” it all and go through life’s ups and downs the same way their audience does. I really appreciate the forum for such a wealth of information and know that their work is driven by passion first and foremost. Kudos to them for an excellent vehicle from which to learn!

Julie and Lisa are simply the best. I have worked with them for years and not only do they know their stuff, but they are passionate. They are passionate about their sport, passionate about helping people, and passionate about keeping up with the latest in how to stay strong and healthy beyond the run. I love how Julie and Lisa create diversity within their podcast. They are able to take the same topic and look at it from the angle of multiple professionals. There is so much information out there and there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to training balance, nutrition, and recovery. They make it clear they are aware of this and have professionals speak to every angle to clarify this ever evolving information for their listeners. To top it all off their dynamic is perfect making this podcast not only informative, but so much fun to listen to! Thank you, Julie & Lisa!

Love this podcast! I love listening while I’m on the treadmill. I’m particularly interested in information about workouts and nutrition for peri -menopausal and menopausal runners, and I love how Julie and Lisa have had a number of guests with varying perspectives and approaches to deal with this sometimes complicated subject. They always seem to ask the questions I’m thinking of as I’m listening. I also really struggled with getting back to my normal running after having covid, and it was helpful and validating to hear the advice and experiences that they and their guests offered. I felt like “my covid wasn’t that bad… why is it taking me so long to get back to where I was?” and listening to the podcasts made me feel like this wasn’t unusual and I wasn’t alone. I’m done running Boston- my marathon days are behind me- but I still love to run and find so much information and it’s nice to hear it from such smart, informed coaches. They sound like the kind of women I’d love to go for a run with!

Julie and Lisa are willing to grapple with difficult subjects and present varying points of view. Much more interesting and informative than over simplifying complexity into bumper sticker cliches. Keep up the great work!

They obviously know their way around the Boston Marathon but outside of that specialty, much less. Recent episodes have had each guest contradicting the advice of previous guests about nutrition, injury, stretching, warmups, etc. It’s laughable. I feel like I’m getting dumber with each episode. One of the hosts has had serious cases of COVID twice. Makes me think she’s not being careful with herself or clients. In today’s episodes, she literally said “Most of our runners have had COVID in the last month or so.” What?! Are they vaccinated? Taking any precautions? She has my sympathy but I’ve given up with this podcast. It’s just a muddle of conflicting ideas and assertions.

Really helpful and applicable advice from the best coaches!

I love ❤️ listening to the Run Farther & Faster podcast. Julie & Lisa do a magnificent job interviewing their guests and sharing great insight on running and the Boston Marathon. I am a Boston native and I’ve lived in Boston or right outside of it my whole life. I really do enjoy their experience and insight they share when it comes to the Boston Marathon. Keep up the great work ladies and thank you.

They pretty much cover it all as it relates to distance running. Lisa and Julie are very informative and keep it fun and interesting. I feel like I’m having a conversation with friends, and they always seem to be giving me the perfect tidbits of advice for running that I didn’t know I needed!

Lisa and Julie do such an amazing job providing insight, experience, and knowledge for the most common challenges that runners have. I have learned so much as a listener and guest!
