    Grant lapped me in a high school 2-mile
    It would be real nice if this guy was hatable. Turns out he’s chill and insightful (sigh)… Listening to every episode until we find a flaw. Would love more consistent uploads, great pod guys!

    My favorite running podcast
    There are a lot of good running podcasts out there, but this is my favorite. It is dope to get a “behind the scenes” look at pro running. I love that the podcast really dives into the mental side of the sport (both training and racing). My favorite parts of the podcast are the interviews with Grant’s teammates — they have a different feel to them because Grant knows them so well. I also love the old and recent race recaps/analysis. Honestly, though, I like everything, and I look forward to when new episodes drop every week.

    Turned a couch potato into a running enthusiast!
    I had never been into running but after attempting to get into the sport I found that this was an extremely helpful podcast! I wasn’t really quite sure what I was doing but this pod made the sport really accessible and engaging for me. Thanks for being so consistent and for all the hard work!

    Love recaps of old races
    Great pod! Always entertaining and interesting and almost takes my mind off the pain of marathon training long runs! I really like the recaps of old races - it’s a very fun way to learn about some running history.

    Love the Podcast weekly
    Love the podcast listen to it every week. One of my all time favorites was listening to someone interview Jerry Schumacher. Would be great if you could get your famed coach to talk a little bit about Bowerman and the world of track and field!!
  • Yolodog
    Favorite running podcast!
    I love this podcast because they give useful information and provide great insight into all things running, Injuries, nutrition, race day routines, and just nerding out about races! It’s really fun to listen
  • tarbeks
    Unique perspective!
    Very interesting to hear straight from a professional runner about the ups and downs of training and racing. This podcast is certainly filling a gap in the world of running!

    Behind the scenes
    Very insightful to hear what happens behind the scenes with a pro runner, especially the conversations that touch on mindset and mentality. It’s also fun to follow along with Grant’s progress in an Olympic year. Fantastic interview with Mo Ahmed as well, hope to hear from other pros on occasion in the future!

    The podcast is a really cool insight into the life of a pro runner. Connor and Grant offer great advice for runners of all skills while also making the podcast fun and upbeat. Also, I love the intro and outro music!

    The Journey
    Nice to follow along each with guys going through the training cycle. Keeps the motivation high to continue to run and workout while working 60 hour weeks.

    The Apex of running podcasts ..
    This podcast has made me excited about the sport again. Both Grant and Conner have a natural ease and humor with each other that’s a joy to listen too.

    Great running podcast
    Love listening to this podcast
  • Pardi55555
    One of my favorite podcasts
    I love how this podcast feels like I’m just listening to my friends talk about running, but is also so informative and so interesting. It is casual, yet I learn more about training and gain more insight into professional running.
  • Ty Heath
    love the podcast
    Grants just such a good guy, was able to run with him the summer of my freshman year. He gave me a shirt that day, and I still wear it for warmups every race day!
  • Ethan Robson
    Amazing!
    Great pod, Awesome to learn about professional running and Grant’s background. Along with learning about Stanford running! High recommend!
  • The real chuck nasty
    Solid Content
    Nice getting hit with some knowledge bombs from some pro runners. Some big alpha energy.
  • machaddenruns
    Huge fan. Worth the listen.
    Wow, it is awesome to have an inside view to all the behind the scenes work that goes into making one of America’s rising star distance runners.
  • CoachGaryB
    Great podcast
    Straight forward, just two guys chatting about a sport they love. No talking over the heads of their listeners, just sharing their passion for running!!
  • madison_shrimp
    Like chilling with some friends...
    ...If your friends were really good at running.
  • HartzyNick
    Great show!
    Great insight on the BTC and love the chemistry between you two!

    Not just for HS boys
    Connor and Grant are great hosts and this podcast really gives insight into these two characters behind what you see on the start line. You may think these two unbelievably talented athletes would be immodest or arrogant- they have every right given how much they’ve achieved/ how much potential they have- but NO! These two are so humble and if anything too understated and immodest! They don’t act like they know everything, and truly want to use their experiences to benefit others. This podcast is not like any other running show, and I love that! Even if you subscribe to all the others, the Half Step Pod will interest you nonetheless. When I say it is unique, I mean it in all the best ways! Thank you boys for giving us this resource! Your naturals at the podcast game and I can’t wait to see your subscribers grow. Fun in the right places, serious and educational in others, always interesting and entertaining: never miss an episode! This show is not just for HS boys. Keep it up! (Please!)

    overall great podcast
    clearly superior to the price of a mile. very interesting and informative
  • VikingsFan2019
    Great insight into the world of running!
    This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites! As an avid runner, it’s extremely important to me that I keep up with the world of running and all the information out there. With the amount of running podcasts out there, it can be intimidating to find one that informs and entertains at the same time. Because of that I have always bounced around from one run podcast to the next because I either lose interest or find a more interesting “nut” per say. This has been the first podcast that I have stuck with and I learn something new every time I listen. This podcast provides the perfect combination of running, both pro and at the collegiate level, and allows listeners to gain a valuable insight that they won’t want to miss out on. Whether you are some one who runs a lot or just dabbles in the sport, you will gain value from listening! PS - I really enjoy the race breakdowns that Grant and Connor do!
  • jgrothe1

    Very good podcast about pro/college running. I love the race recaps!
  • jordan12347

    Super great podcast
  • Tom523
    One of a kind
    How often do you get weekly podcasts, created by someone who is top in their game? This podcast is like getting a weekly pod from Steph curry. Connor and Grant got great chemistry, especially for starting up so soon
  • JMW650
    Weekly habit
    This podcast is new, but I look forward to the update every week. It’s a cool peek behind the curtain for runners of all ages and levels and it’s great hearing insight from both the professional and collegiate perspectives.
  • Nathan Loersch
    Great insights
    Fantastic insights into the ins and outs of living and training as a member of BTC. I also especially enjoy the race breakdowns! Fantastic to gain perspective from someone who’s been in similar race situations, while also comparing my thoughts on the race to Grant and Connor’s.
  • Paneeners
    Fantastic running journal
    A plus story of what it takes mentally and physically to rise to an elite level in American distance running as well as chase the best in the world. Love the mix of nerdy track talk, video game references, and breakdown of training / racing. The dynamic between these co-hosts is perfect. Super authentic. Overall 100% recommend
  • CollinJ
    Keep the historical race analyses coming!
    Loved the 1983 race analysis. It makes this running podcast stand out from the dozens of others, and you guys bring a great perspective to what it would be like to race on the MSG track. I’m a hobby jogger who has never raced indoors so it was great to hear what it’s like to get caught up in the churn!
  • skdbfks elf
    Awesomeness
    Please keep doing these every week. I love listening to this on the way to work. Keep analyzing different runners and different races. Best running podcast rn!
  • koinlaks
    Sweet DMs
    Interesting to know the kinda things Grant receives in his inbox.
  • Slug_bot
    Cool
    Wish I learned how much centro could squat. Guess we can’t get everything we want.
  • ballinphil
    Good
    Solid first episode. Heard about it on the “Sound Running” live stream, so maybe have bowerman Instagram advertise it to gain publicity? Grant seems like a good dude, despite going to stanfurd ;)
  • Visc@B@rc@1
    Range
    The range of a 3:35 1500 and a 27:11 10,000 AND a podcast! But can it go farther than The Price of a Mile? Looking forward to more episodes building into this Olympic year.
