Customer Reviews
Great stuff
These guys are GREAT! Great chemistry between them has made every episode a winner. Jason and Ray are new to runnning and podcasting but don't let that stop you from subscribing, they are quick learners! I'm already a big fan and looking forward to hearing more episodes. Peace! ;-)
Good stuff!
These guys are great. They have a wonderful dynamic. A fun give and take about their running and all that entails. Give this show a chance and you'll wait eagerly for the new episodes. I can see "G.I.R.S. Nation" growing by the day!
Ironbrandon episode
Great podcast. Ironbrandon was a very interesting guest. I like the fact that I am not so far off of the host's experience level. It is neat to hear pros, but more relative to listen to newbies.
Keep the good work
