    YES PLEASE
    I’m such a fan of this podcast!! I love that all the latest “running news” is condensed into these episodes, because there is so much going on in the running world at any given point. As someone who is more of a road/distance runner myself, I’m really loving learning more about the track

    Production abruptly ended?
    I’ve enjoyed the podcast greatly and have really appreciated Lauren and Abby/Emma’s updates on track matters. The podcast seems to have abruptly ceased production; the mid-August episode closed with L & E saying they had a lot of running news to catch us up on and “see you next week!” (it’s now 9/21). No word here or on the website about an unexpected hiatus, so I sincerely hope that they’re both OK.

    Favorite Podcast to Keep you in the Know
    Lauren does a FANTASTIC job keeping runners in the know on all things in the sport. The format is fun, informative and flows well so its an easy listen on the job, in the car, or on a run!

    Great podcast!!
    I love this podcast! It’s very informative and gets me psyched on running :) lots of great training tips and the guest on the show are awesome!

    Surprised to fall in love!!!
    Absolutely love this podcast (end the whole sandy boy production network). A surprise because I’m not too pricey on track stuff (fell in love with running later in life so I don’t “get” track/xc stuff). BUT this has become a go-to for solo runs and rides (when injured!!!). Lauren and Abby are so passionate and knowledgeable about the running world and talented hosts! Love the balanced casual/serious tone, it’s super captivating and struck a new curiosity for all things running that was not their prior.l Love their authenticity and friendship. Makes me feel like I know them and the occasional guests. Also it’s favorite for recommendations when friends are looking for a new podcast.

    Fills an important gap in the running podcast landscape
    This is perhaps my favorite running podcast out there. It’s really nice to have a show that isn’t about interviews with runners (which are great, but there’s a lot already covering this terrain). And since we have almost no regular running reporting in the mainstream media, this podcast fills an important niche. I’ve especially valued their reporting and updates during the pandemic when it’s been hard to keep track of what is actually happening or being cancelled in the distance world. Keep up the great work, ladies!

  • Cait0213
    I adore Up and Running!
    As a former competitive swimmer who just got into running a year ago, I’ve loved learning about my new sport from Abby and Lauren! They share the latest news with such insight, give great coaching tips, and their Catching Up With... episodes are so fascinating. Highly recommend this podcast!

    Love Running Talk!

    Great podcast!
    I really enjoy listening to podcasts about running and this one is fantastic! I love how the podcast has guests and content ranging from the standard household names to college, professional and everyday runners. I listen to the podcast while on walks with my two month old and I feel like I’m walking and talking with friends. Great podcast if you are into all things running!

    Love love love
    I’ve been so tired of listening to the same songs on my playlist so I opted for a podcast today. I listened to one and then another. They were both super relevant to my running thoughts lately, and the information they provided was just what I was looking for. I follow Lauren on Instagram so I already feel like I know her, but besides that they both are super chill and very relatable. It was like my friends and I were running and talking the talk. I’ll be back for more tomorrow!

    So pleasant
    Love this women-led podcast! The host’s personalities are so pleasant and are well informed on the world of running. They cover all topics throughout the sport in a really great format. The “catching up” episodes have really unique guests and offer interesting insights all across the many topics in the running world!
  • pdtink

    Great Podcast!
    I love the easy going nature of Abby and Lauren and the content they provide. They are well informed and I love the conversational style of the podcast. Thanks for all your insight!
  • Alli6017
    Such a good addition!!
    This is not just another running podcast! Lauren and Abby definitely fill a gap by sharing news on all things running which is hard to find elsewhere. I love hearing them chat and share their perspective and knowledge- thanks girls!
  • teach/run
    Love this podcast!

    Good way to stay up to date
    Lauren and Abby are very good hosts; I enjoy the back-and-forth conversation between the two. They bring a lot of knowledge about the sport and are a great way for me to stay up to date about the world of running. Definitely an enjoyable listen.
  • Kapool2345
    Great podcast to keep up to date on running news
    Interviews of people running in the olympic marathon trials was really good and inspirational.
  • Chrdier
    I’m a smarter fan of the sport thanks to this podcast
    Lauren and Abbey are great hosts, athletes, and running role models. I especially like that they answer listener questions about the sport, and I’ve learned a lot thanks to them. I always look forward to a new episode!
  • Cath Burke
    Super interesting and practical
    I love this podcast for a number of reasons- including that the hosts, Lauren and Abby, are so relatable and likable. I appreciate that they share their honest opinions about the running world (i.e. the recent decision on no qualifying races until Dec...) and their own training. Its the best of both worlds to me- informative and interesting about the running scene and elites/sub-elites, but also practical for my own training. Big fan!

    Talking Running with Friends
    I listen to this podcast while running and I feel like I'm running with friends. Lauren and Abby have taught me a lot about NCAA running, which I previously was unfamiliar with, and I enjoy the handoffs and coaching tips they offer. I really like the conversational, friendly tone. Keep up the great work ladies!
  • StayGreatMyGirl
    The perfect run companion!
    This podcast is truly a gift and keeps me entertained and motivated during runs! Lauren and Abby are great hosts who complement each other well and are knowledgeable about the world of running. I especially love the “Catching Up with” episodes and like that I can stay in the loop with the world of running’s news headlines without having to do all of the research. Thank you, Lauren and Abby, for being bright lights in the running community!
  • Stephanie Fast
    Enjoying this! Love Lauren!
    I’ve been listening to most episodes-I heard about this podcast from I’ll have another. I love hearing Lauren’s perspective as a competitive mom of two ( Abby is great too) and they have a nice balance of facts/running news and conversation that makes it interesting. I’m definitely going to keep listening.
  • Sandsbabe24
    Great running podcast!
    I thoroughly enjoy listening to this podcast on my runs or when I’m walking my dogs around the neighborhood. The topics covered are great, such as mental toughness and nutrition. My favorite so far were the interviews with some Olympic trials athletes!! If you haven’t tuned in, make sure you try it out!!!
  • Don P F
    Up and Running - Love it
    I listen to a lot of podcasts.....sports, business, history, general interest, etc. But as a runner myself, I really love listening to the Up+Running Podcast. The episodes are interesting and motivating for me. The hosts are experienced, articulate, relatable, and entertaining....and they have great guests. I’ve been recommending the podcast to all of my running friends. Keep up the good work!!!
  • stephapete
    Really enjoying!
    I came to this podcast through “I’ll Have Another,” it’s far exceeded my expectations! I love their voice in the running world, please keep it coming!
  • HollyM91914
    Great Weekly Overview
    This podcast gets better every week! Sound quality is good, and I like that Lauren is rotating through different cohosts. Her husband has been my favorite cohost actually! Great listen for a recap of all things running.
  • huffmanjh
    My Favorite podcast!
    Love love love listening to Lauren and Abby on my easy run days! I look forward to every new episode that drops! I enjoy listening to their take of current running related news and find myself with a new perspective on issues- like the olympic qualification suspension. There isn’t any running podcast like it! I also appreciate that Lauren and Abby are both coaches and elite athletes so they know the sport well!
  • Lalala3579537
    SO GOOD
    Loved the Taylor Dare episode! Bringing Truth and running together in these dark hard times of COVID. A MUST LISTEN 💓
  • cooper&miles
    World of running!

  • Emma Benner
    The perfect running pod
    The mix of running news & interviews is perfect!! Lauren & Abby are so knowledgeable and keep everyone up to date on all things running!
  • Bek_Simmons
    Great podcast!
    I love the interviews, and learning more about running!
  • Okatie Runner
    For the Joy of Running
    I enjoy listening to these podcasts while I am running! I found the most recent podcast very informative with regard to constructive self-talk and having mantras and power words to get you through long runs. I have never heard of a “confidence journal”, but what a great idea to write down 1 or 2 good things from every training session to build confidence. I also loved listening to the special guests you interviewed during the series you had before the Olympic trials where you spoke with 5 men and 5 women who were running. It was fun cheering for them as they ran by!
  • SamClear
    Love
    Love the running news and the coaching tips! Even with the craziness of our world today they are keeping up with the little news we have in the running sphere!
  • xcrunnerncaa
    Great Podcast!
    Been listening since the beginning and its been fun! Really like the addition of Abby and the Catching Up Interviews!
  • FBDC
    Entertaining but very amateurish and superficial
    Lauren and Abby seem to be very nice and the conversation can be entertaining but they are clearly amateurs. I only listen to that one when I’m done with other running related podcasts (and still want more...) and you really don’t learn anything. It was meant to be a running news podcast (which would be welcome as there’s a need for that, especially for women running) but it’s very superficial and just regurgitating instagram posts from top runners and the (excellent) fast women newsletter (we need A. wade to do the podcast!). Also started to veer off and start mimicking the rambling runner. I would excuse the amateurism of the delivery for the first episodes but it still hasn’t improved and the audio is often very bad (especially levels). Abby seem really nice but I also regret that Nick left, he was clearly the most experienced coach of the 3. Their training tips are really “meh”... Ladies, you can do better!
  • taylordare
    LOVE
    I love listening to Lauren and Abby and all their guests. I learn so much about the running world, training, nutrition and so much more. Encouraged by their love of running and dedication to promoting the sport!
  • Tn444
    Like the daily Skimm of running!
    Been following Lauren for a while as inspiration since she is a local competitive runner and also a mom of 2. I love getting these quick running world updates each week and find myself wishing I could join in the convo with her and Abby!
  • shanay87
    Obsessed!
    I love this podcast! I love that the hosts are two women with a lot of experience both running and with coaching. I really appreciate that it’s more of a technical show about running news and training. The audio quality is good, the hosts are clear and well-paced and they are both women I’d love to be running friends with!
  • trackrunnerrob
    Love the interviews
    Listening to the Laura Thweatt interview and I just love your interview style. It is so relaxed but clear!!!!! Very great professional
  • and122$
    Great podcast
    Great podcast with good rundown of the top results from the running world. As someone who loves watching competitive running, it’s great to hear about all of the exciting updates each week. Abby and Lauren are great hosts — knowledgeable and informative... and also great at asking good questions to their guests. I listen to a bunch of different running podcasts — this one is definitely a fresh spin on content... more like a news show than just traditional interview style
  • Stacy Neul
    Great addition to the podcast world
    Although I follow running pretty consistently I still love that I can listen to the “news” like I would with a short NPR podcast and see if I missed anything! Interesting opinions from the hosts and the training tips are also a plus.
  • _pboyle
    Finally!
    I’ve been looking for a well structured, informative, and entertaining podcast around running. So far this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Please keep up with detailed race recaps and great interviews. Thanks!
  • lindsayliz28
    Informative podcast
    Love listening to this podcast, I feel like the sound issues in the beginning have been fixed. This is a great place to get the latest running news from people who are actively coaching and or participating in the running community.
  • ReviewersUnitedAFC
    Great host and format
