Thanks Vinnie for joining us on Ru El’s Running Podcast!
This is a well done and entertaining podcast coming from a "relatively normal" guy. lol I found this podcast through Vinnie Tortorich and was drawn in by Ru's take on running and the NSNG lifestyle. While I am not a runner, I walk fairly fast so that counts, right? I love that he talks about the ups and downs of balancing his family life with his running and working, like all of us. His recommendations and interviews are relaxed, informative and fun. Take a listen and learn something people! Sorry it took me so long to post a review :(
