In this episode of the Singletrack Podcast, I chat with sport scientist and physiologist Geoff Burns to unpack one of the biggest open questions in trail running right now: why shoe technology hasn't produced a single, decisive “Vaporfly moment” on the trails - and whether it ever will.Geoff explains why trail running is fundamentally different from road running when it comes to performance gains. While road shoes can be optimized for straight-line efficiency on uniform surfaces, trail shoes operate in a far more complex system - one shaped by uneven terrain, gradients, stability demands, traction, weight, and constantly changing conditions Geoff explains:* Why super-shoe logic breaks down on trails* The real role of foams, plates, and energy return off-road* Why shoe tech gains often disappear on uphill, downhill, or technical terrain* Whether trail shoes are nearing saturation—or still wide open for innovation* How weight, traction, durability, and stability compete with pure efficiency* Why different trail races may require entirely different “optimal” shoes* What shoe tech might be changing in the sportPartners:Norda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever made (https://nordarun.com/)Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next order (https://www.precisionhydration.com/planner/?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=singletrack)Momentous - use code SINGLETRACK for up to 35% off your first order (https://livemomentous.com/) deltaG Ketones - use code Singletrack20 at checkout on their website to get 20% off your next order (https://partners.deltagketones.com/SINGLETRACK20)Raide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains (https://raideresearch.com/)Gorewear - use code SINGLETRACKPOD30 at checkout on their website (bit.ly/3JVNIbL) to get 30% off your purchase.Support the show
Most Ironman athletes don't fail in the marathon because they're bad runners. They fail because they misunderstand what the Ironman run actually is.In this episode of our Six Months to Ironman series, Coach Rob breaks down exactly how to train to run well at the end of an Ironman, based on 15+ years of IRONMAN coaching experience and hundreds, if not thousands of successful first-time finishers.This is not about getting faster at 5K or 10K. It's about fatigue resistance, durability, and delivering a strong marathon after a long swim and bike.In this episode, you'll learn:Why Ironman running is endurance-limited, not speed-limitedWhy great standalone runners often struggle badly off the bikeThe single biggest mistake age-groupers make with long runsWhy traditional “Sunday long runs” can sabotage your Ironman buildHow the 9 / 1 run-walk strategy improves performance (and isn't a beginner tactic)How to pace your long runs properly using easy pace, not marathon paceWhy running slower in training actually leads to a faster Ironman marathonHow to structure your week so run training doesn't wreck your bike and recoveryThe mindset shift that allows you to run strongly in the final 10K while others fall apartIf your goal is to finish your Ironman marathon feeling strong, controlled, and still running while the field around you is reduced to walking, this episode will completely change how you view run training.* * * * * * *SPONSORS* * * * * * * *Thinking about your first Ironman or 70.3 in 2026?

What actually changed with David Roche's YouTube content and why did it work when so many running vlogs and films don't?In this episode of the Singletrack Podcast, I'm joined by running filmmaker and YouTube creator Jeff Pelletier for a deep, behind-the-scenes conversation about how trail running content is evolving and what Roche's Western States series revealed about the platform.We break down why YouTube rewards long-term storytelling over one-off films, how stakes and failure can be more compelling than winning, and why personality-driven channels consistently outperform brand-owned media. Jeff explains why Roche's rollout felt like a masterclass, how it changed expectations for branded content, and what brands, athletes, and creators still get wrong about YouTube.We also discuss:* Why most running brands fail on YouTube* How narrative arcs and episodic structure drive retention* The difference between short-form and long-form impact* Why YouTube is becoming the new television for endurance sports* What the next era of trail running media might look likePartners:Norda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever made (https://nordarun.com/)Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next order (https://www.precisionhydration.com/planner/?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=singletrack)Momentous - use code SINGLETRACK for up to 35% off your first order (https://livemomentous.com/) deltaG Ketones - use code Singletrack20 at checkout on their website to get 20% off your next order (https://partners.deltagketones.com/SINGLETRACK20)Raide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains (https://raideresearch.com/)Gorewear - use code SINGLETRACKPOD30 at checkout on their website (bit.ly/3JVNIbL) to get 30% off your purchase.Support the show

In this episode, Katie Asmuth and Leah Yingling reflect on a full year of The Trail Network Podcast and a year that reshaped the trail running landscape. They look back on standout moments from the sport and the show, from pregnancies and comebacks to breakthrough performances, surprise podiums, and the rise of longer distances like 200-mile races. The conversation touches on storytelling in trail running, why live coverage and long-form narratives are changing how fans connect to athletes, and how rankings, sponsorships, and community support influence the modern professional runner. They also explore accessibility in trail running, from sub-ultra distances to grassroots races, and share thoughts on training races, recovery, fueling, and setting the tone for the year ahead. It's a reflective, wide-angle look at where the sport has been and where it's headed.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A big shout out to our new sponsor Precision Fuel & Hydration.

We start this weeks episode by going over everything from the T100 Grand Final on the weekend. We then move onto the T100's 2026 plans and their big announcement of a merger with World Triathlon in 2027. To say there are some strong opinions thrown around in these discussions would be an understatement. Then it's time to talk about the uncovering that a triathlete has been deceiving and lying to everyone since at least 2024. And we finish off the show, as always, by reading and responding to your Spotify comments.

All four hosts land in one virtual room for the first time in a while, and the episode feels like exactly what the trail community loves about this show: honest life updates, the chaos and joy of parenting and training, and the juggling act of big dreams alongside real-world constraints. The conversation moves through work, family, film projects, postpartum shifts, inspiration, and the long game of returning to form. There's laughter, some exhaustion, a lot of heart, and a shared sense that running evolves with every season of life. The episode captures the feeling of being in transition — rebuilding, rethinking goals, planning races, and remembering why this sport continues to anchor each of them. It's a warm, open catch-up that invites listeners to take a deep breath, embrace their own season, and keep moving forward in whatever way is possible right now.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A big shout out to our new sponsor Precision Fuel & Hydration.

This catch up episode leans into the messy, real side of being runners, creatives, and parents while the race season quiets down. Hilary, Katie, and Leah talk openly about what it looks like when running has to take a back seat to big projects, work, and family, how social media and Strava can shape or strain our relationship with the sport, and why it sometimes feels better to keep parts of life offline. They get into gut and health struggles, postpartum recovery, travel with a baby, planning around lotteries and pregnancy deferrals, and why timing big goals to the right season of life matters. It is an honest look at building a life that makes room for both big dreams and real constraints, and finding ways to stay connected to running even when the mileage is low.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A big shout out to our new sponsor Precision Fuel & Hydration.

Olympic bronze medalist Molly Seidel joins Hilary Yang and Katie Asmuth for a candid, thoughtful conversation about rebuilding her relationship with running and stepping into the trail world with intention. She opens up about the long recovery from a broken patella, the emotional work that reshaped her approach to training, and how her anthropology background influences the way she sees sport and culture. Molly shares why trail running feels like the right place for her joy, creativity, and durability right now, how Austin and Flagstaff each support a different side of her life, and what it has meant to find a healthier balance outside of racing. She also reflects on dropping out of the New York City Marathon to protect her progress, learning the logistics of ultras, and future trail goals with equal parts humility and ambition. It's a grounded, refreshingly human look at an athlete redefining success and finding the confidence to build a career on her own terms.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A big shout out to our new sponsor Precision Fuel & Hydration.

Hilary returns to the podcast after a whirlwind stretch directing the Mammoth events and traveling through Hong Kong and China to film her new documentary project. She's joined by filmmaker Carrie Highman, her co-director on the upcoming film, for a conversation centered on storytelling, women's experiences, and the impact of bringing outdoor narratives to life with intention. Carrie reflects on her career and the themes that have shaped her work, from Free to Run, which highlights the barriers faced by women in Afghanistan, to her newest film Off Course, premiering at the Banff Film Festival and exploring the intersection of infertility, identity, and ambition. Together, Hilary and Carrie discuss what it means to create work that inspires women, how filmmaking connects to the spirit of trail running, and why telling honest stories still matters.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A big shout out to our new sponsor Precision Fuel & Hydration.
