I loved this story. In fact, it was just too short for me and I could have listened to many more episodes. I remember watching the '84 marathon while I was still in high school, and dreaming of being in the Olympics. Of course that never happened, but hearing the history behind how the women's marathon came to be was really great as I don't remember any of this in the '80's. I think I was just a young kid who thought a woman running the marathon was normal! But I definitely remember Joan Benoit winning and thinking just how cool this all was. Excellent podcast to re-live all of that.

If you love running, you'll love this story. I loved peeking into the life of an elite runner.

I don't know much about crossfit, but this was a good listen. And I loved the narrator! The more you know about crossfit, the more I think you'll enjoy this book. Mostly because she talks about a lot of the workouts, which would be amazing if I understood more about them! But overall, I love books about highly motivated sports types, and this fit the bill!

I'd had this book in my Amazon wish list for years before buying it as an audible book. Perhaps I was let down because I had over anticipated the greatness of this book. Having grown up watching triathalon on Wide World of Sports, i knew the rivalry between Dave Scott and Mark Allen and couldn't wait to listen to the deeper stories of their lives. And the stories were by and large good. I just wish the narrator had been a little better. He wasn't horrible, he just wasn't great. More odd if I had to categorize him. I probably would have enjoyed this more had I read the book, which is what I recommend if you really want to enjoy these triathalon stories.
