About the show

Hamstrings and Heartstrings is two friends, Chris and Ellie, catching up and having some straight running talk. One of us is real competitive with our running and the other is pretty chill. We'll leave it as an exercise to the listener to decide who is who. The answer may not be the same for each episode!

We promise to mostly talk about running and running-related things but don't be surprised if some general nerdery sneaks in. And definitely expect talk about what we're eating. Afterall, Food is running related!

    Chris and Ellie are two runners who come from different sides of the sport. One of us is a competitive road runner (like 2:41 Olympic Trials Qualifier) and the other of us spends lots of time in the woods. In this new podcast we'll chat about our running, how we feel about it, what it means in the greater context of humanity, and what goodies we are eating!
