Such a great show! If have you have any interest in track/XC/distance and you love hearing great stories from those “in the arena” this is for you. As a dad, coach and an “old” guy athlete….I’m learning something from every show.

Dom reporting to duty as the next USATF president.

The most thoughtful and high quality running podcast out there—any haters are just jealous of Dom’s brilliance!

One of the best running podcasts out there. Just amazing I love it so much!!!!!

I am running the river run and am trying to go 1 hour and 3 minutes btw it is 9.30 miles and I’m ten years old any advice p.s I love your podcasts.

Entertaining and informative. Only engaging running podcast I’ve found.

Follow him

Cool

Dominic has become a steward of the sport and advocate for doing things the right way. His topics and guests are examples of the best people in this game. His age is irrelevant except for the fact that he has already become a leader and will impact for the positive for years to come. Follow this podcast!

This is a quality running podcast that is informative and fun to listen to! Would recommend to anyone!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple of years. I have learned so much from each of Dom’s guests. I am parent of a HS and MS runner and it’s great to be able to keep up with the lingo and learn how to support them in their individual journeys. I’ve loved when he talks to coaches and goes outside the traditional athlete talks to discuss sports psychology, nutrition and sleep. The Running Effect is doing a wonderful service to our running community!

This podcast has been something to help motivate me to get on the grind, and try to be the best underdog I can be. I love learning about runners who experienced many different things on their journeys and it’s so inspiring learning how I can become better even if I’m struggling and injured right now. Love this!

Hey Dominic I was hoping you could get Marcelo Mantecon on the pod he is a sophomore and has run, I think 14:40 in the 5k and 8:51 in the 3200 and 4:11 in the mile! And he also placed 15 at NXN! So hope you could get him on.

This is the best podcast I have ever listened to! I had never listened to podcasts before but this one got me hooked. Dominic does an amazing job at keeping the conversation flowing and has so many amazing questions that keep the podcast interesting and engaging. He also gets on many relevant and insightful guests. If you haven’t given this podcast a listen you’re missing out.

I love what Dominic is doing with this Podcast! He brings in amazing guests and does a great job interviewing them. I feel like I’m sitting right there with them fully engaged in the conversation. After each episode my notepad is typically full with great nuggets of wisdom regarding running training and coaching! I have recommended this show to so many fellow runners and coaches and I couldn’t recommend it enough to you as well! Check it out and give it a listen!

I love this show! Dominic always asks the most insightful questions, and I hear exactly what I want to! He has real talent here. Thank you for this, and keep it up!!

Dom is great on this podcast. Tons of great guests. Talks about real life issues and religion is definitely an important part of who people are.

Dominic, Love the podcast. You do a great job at making it very conversational. Keep up the wonderful work!

Found the podcast through his instagram which is POPPIN off rn. Your conversations have been super helpful for mentally and physically training. Love listing to it on easy runs!

was wanting to hear if he had done an interview with hobbs kessler… search it up, and he posted one 5hrs before 😂 love the podcast! keep crushing it man! God bless 👊

I very much enjoy your interviews. You do a great job of letting people answer at length to genuinely explain their answers. Robert Gary Furman University. Highbanks as an answer makes Elliot Cook one of my favorite athletes now!

I loved the last episode! Only one thing was that Simeon ran 3:37 not 3:39. I only know that because I went back and watched the old episodes lol

The quantity and quality of this show is fantastic. Great job!!

I listen to this podcast when I’m studying, walking to class, running, etc. Very interesting questions asked, really well structured, and entertaining. This podcast influenced me to love this sport to a level I never thought I would’ve before. Dominic is also very mature and respectful as well. Five stars without any hesitation. Would highly recommend.

Running out of things to listen to while running and then I found this! Keep it up! I also like the religious commentary and how religion relates to running and the rest of our lives.

I listened to this podcasts much of 2023 and into 2024. most of the content is interesting and I like the interview style and the fact that he actively gets relevant runners to talk about the sport. The only real negative that finally got me to stop listening is that he consistently uses religious phrasing mixed into the commentary. Its fine to have religious beliefs, but they don’t belong in a running podcast.

As a high school runner who is obsessed with running m and rarely has someone to talk about the subject as passionately as I do, it’s very nice to see or hear a show where I can indulging the stories, advice, and training of athletes who I look up to and admire.

I always look forward to the new episodes and this is the best thing ever! Really shifts my perspective on running and life. Guests are amazing and stories are amazing

Truly the best podcast I’ve listened to. Always feel inspired after an episode. Also love learning more about the guests that you have and what makes them unique.

Enjoyed listening!

Interesting stories

As a high school runner, hearing the words of some of the people who are at a level I hope to be at, both in high school and at the collegiate level, really inspires me and Dominic creating this is honestly so impactful for me.

Found this podcast after a runner I follow was interviewed. Love the range of content, solid interview questions, and the mix of male AND female athletes.

Listened for the first time to a podcast of Dominic interviewing a former student from the high school where I teach (and one of my favorite people of all time,) Austen Dalquist. As an English teacher, I was impressed with Dominic’s insightful questioning and even more important—his high level listening skills! Consider me a fan!

Best podcast around and has changed the game of running

This podcast is revolutionary. It’s the ONLY one of its kind, created by an 18-year-old with incredible maturity. As a former (decent) high school XC runner, now recreational runner and father of a very good female high school XC runner, I can barely articulate how great this podcast is. I wish we had something like this in the early 1990s. The ability to hear professional and top NCAA runners like Elise Cranny and Parker Valby talk about their training, mindset, and experiences — and to be able to share this with my daughter — is invaluable. I cannot thank Dom enough for choosing this path. This podcast can be a reason a good-but-not-great high school runner can decide to not give up and eventually run at the college level. Even an old guy like me gets some personal inspiration for my own old guy running. So great to see running given respect and hear interviews with the top athletes. Keep crushing it, Dom!!!!!!!

Good podcast, very insightful convos every time but the lack of representation in women’s running is very frustrating. Women’s sports are gaining more and more popularity and people want to hear women’s storylines! If the podcast wants to just showcase men’s stories then advertise it as such. Every week I see there’s another random high school boy on the podcast (who are all exceptionally talented runners and provide great insight), but would love it if there were more women.

I’ve enjoyed listening to this podcast, and think Dominic does a great job with the interviews, but the lack of female guests is a bit frustrating. It’s perfectly fine if this is a male-focused podcast (there are plenty of female-focused podcasts out there), but please market it as such so people aren’t disappointed week after week when there is yet another male guest.

Project 2:59 has been fantastic! Love the coach/athlete convos between you two!! Very cool & best of luck!

Nice

Absolutely love this podcast. Great interviews with the stars of distance running and amazing coaches. Will definitely keep coming back!

Very insightful info from genuine ppl in the trenches. The conversations give great advice on both the physical and mental aspects of running while encouraging you to live a well-balanced life. Great motivation and advice for both beginner and advanced runners with respect to being consistent, taking recovery days seriously and not overdoing it.

This podcast is killing it with guests I don’t see on other running podcasts. And appreciate the insightful convo about life & running. Excited to listen to NCAA steeplechase champ Olivia Markezich, go Irish 🍀

best podcast for running omg i never get bored listening

Great pod! Great guests and interesting convos

Bringing some of the top athletes and coaches onto the podcast to hear their experiences and wisdom is really a cool way to connect the running community. This podcast is great because it allows those being interviewing to really share their experiences, the podcast also continues to improve which I think shows growth- and that is something we all aim for. Basically listen to this podcast if you want to learn and be a better runner, coach, or just human. 11/10.

Great guests and conversations.

This pod is #goodforthesport!
