Blue Ox Running Podcast | Eau Claire, WI

Wisconsin running stories & insights! Adam and Alicia are a husband-wife team, owners of Blue Ox Running Store, and love to get into all the reasons why people are active.

This podcast is here to share those stories, help educate, have fun, and build community (worldwide!) from our little corner of the Midwest. On Wisconsin! MOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
