Canyon Woodward is pro trail runner for Patagonia from Franklin, NC. Canyon has proven himself to be among the most consistent long-course athletes in America, finishing top five at three golden ticket races in a six-month timespan: Javelina Jundred (3rd), Black Canyon 100k (4th), and Canyons 100k (5th). Carrying a lot of fitness and competitive momentum, Canyon will be a factor at Western States later this month -- a goal he's been chasing for several years.     But Canyon is much more than just a talented runner. He's made his career working in politics and community organizing where he's fought for his values in the public domain – things like rural communities, environmentalism, and conservation, which we discuss at length in the episode.   Also part of our conversation is Canyon's recently signing with Patagonia – the iconic outdoor brand that takes a leadership role in the industry and globally around the things that Canyon cares about – the collision of his running career and his career as an environmentalist and activist coming together is an exciting new partnership. This is his first appearance on the podcast.   Topics:   – Canyon's fascinating childhood and ppbringing – His education and discovering his knack for community organizing – Getting into politics and running a 100% positive campaign – the political power of rural communities – Of course we explore the origins of his running prowess – the value of learning by doing – Consistency and Success in Racing – Navigating Sponsorships and The new Partnership with Patagonia – Preparing for Western States – The Pacer Debate in Ultra Running – Goals for Western States – And a lot more   Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front -- The poem recited at the end of the episode   Sponsors:   Use code FREETRAIL25 for 25% off your first order of NEVERSECOND nutrition at never2.com Check out the Capilene Cool Sun Hoodie from Patagonia Use code FREETRAIL for an extra discount on Clearlight Saunas at HealWithHeat.com Freetrail Links: Website | Freetrail Pro | Patreon | Instagram | YouTube | Freetrail Experts   Dylan Links: Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn | Strava

Western States 100 occupies a different place in trail running than almost any other race. Months before the starting gun, runners and fans are already studying the field, imagining the canyons, debating contenders, and wondering what story will emerge from Auburn.This episode explores why Western States feels bigger than a race. From Jim Walmsley and Kilian Jornet to Wendell Robie, Rucky Chucky, and the old buckle holders still working aid stations, Josh makes the case that Western States belongs in the same conversation as The Masters and the Kentucky Derby.Not because of the sport, but because of what happens when greatness, history, place, and uncertainty all meet in the same event.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps01:54 Elite Runners vs 'Participation Runners'08:05 The Course as Character11:14 The Importance of The Course13:54 The Importance of Rucky Chucky16:12 The Dual Nature of the Race19:58 The Spirit of American Trail Running22:09 The Unfolding Drama of Race DayResources / Links2026 WSER Entrants ListLive on Course - LoC by BorderlandsBorderlands.ccLa French TrailRelated EpisodesTrail Running Loves Winners, Does it Love Competitors?Ultra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Trail running culture loves winners. That's obvious. The sport builds documentaries about them, fills Instagram feeds with them, and spends months debating who will win Western States. But the more Josh thinks about it, the more he wonders whether trail running is actually comfortable with the competitive mindset that creates those winners in the first place.As Western States season begins, this conversation explores the difference between the participation version of trail running and the elite version, why those two worlds often get conflated, and what we miss when we use the values of one to understand the athletes competing in the other.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps00:00 Two Sports Sharing One Start Line02:51 The Values That Make Champions05:49 Elite, Professional, and Why It Matters08:38 What Trail Running Rewards11:26 Telling an Inward Story About an Outward Competition14:22 Do We Actually Want Competitors?Resources / LinksBorderlands.ccSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Josh Rosenthal on IGRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Training camps can be one of the most valuable tools in ultramarathon training — especially when you know how to use them the right way.In this episode, I recap my 3-day, 71-mile Western States 100 training camp and break down the biggest lessons I learned from running the course less than a month out from race day.I cover why training camps are so useful, how to structure one for your own race, what I learned about the Western States course, how I'm adjusting my race strategy, and the key takeaways around pacing, heat management, downhill durability, hydration, nutrition, and mental approach.This episode is not just a Western States recap. It's a guide for how to use any training camp as a dress rehearsal so you can show up to your next ultra more prepared, more confident, and more ready to execute.SHOW LINKS:Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to ⁠⁠desertpeakultra.com⁠⁠Want to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Book a free call here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with one of our coaches to see if we are a good fit!Want to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

What unfolds is an honest and vulnerable conversation about setbacks, growth, mental toughness, and what it really means to keep showing up when things get hard.Troy opens up about his running journey—from growing up around endurance sports, to rediscovering running after losing both his mother and his dog in the same week, to eventually falling in love with trail and ultra running after reading Born to Run. The conversation also dives deep into Troy's first 100-mile DNF at Dark Divide and how that experience forced him to reevaluate his mindset, priorities, and relationship with chasing qualifiers for races like Western States and Hardrock.The heart of the episode centers around Hellbender 100, one of the toughest races on the East Coast. Troy shares how this training block was the strongest of his life, the nutrition struggles and sleep deprivation he battled during the race, and how support from family, friends, and the trail community helped carry him through the darkest moments of the night.Some key themes from the episode include:Using running as a tool for resilience and mental healthLearning from failure and difficult race experiencesThe balance between chasing qualifiers and enjoying the sportTraining consistency, durability, and strength workManaging low moments during ultras and continuing forwardThe importance of community in trail runningThis one is raw, relatable, and full of those classic MidPacker moments where everyday runners chase extraordinary goals.Relevant LinksHellbender 100Run828 FoundationLaurel Highlands UltraHellbender Participant GuideHellbender Course InfoLaurel Highlands Hiking TrailPartner Links: PlayOn Relief - https://playonrelief.comAll Natural, Fast Acting, Long Lasting, Targeted ReliefUse MIDPACKER for 20% off your first orderTraining PeaksA training app as versatile as you.

Sage Canaday has done a lot in running.A 2:16 marathoner, mountain running champion, Western States golden ticket winner, coach, YouTuber, and one of the few people who can jump into a conversation about track workouts, UTMB, 200 milers, social media, and sports nutrition without it feeling out of place.In this episode, we talk about Sage's "Any Surface. Any Distance." philosophy and how he went from chasing Olympic Trials standards to racing ultras and building one of the longest-running YouTube channels in endurance sports.We also dive into how running has changed over the last decade. The rise of influencers, AI coaching, optimization culture, sports nutrition trends, sponsorships, and the blurry line between being a professional athlete and a content creator.Along the way, Sage shares stories from Western States, his battle with a pulmonary embolism, losing his apartment in a fire, rebuilding his career, and why he still believes there are new challenges worth chasing at age 40.We cover:• Why 100 milers humble fast marathoners• Cocodona and the rise of 200-mile racing• Social media's impact on running culture• AI coaching and the future of training• Sports nutrition, bicarb, and optimization trends• Aging as an athlete• Clean sport and performance-enhancing drugs• Western States bear encounters• Why Sage still wants to keep trying new distancesSupport our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

Episode 108 brings all four hosts back together for a rare catch-up episode, and the conversation covers everything from ambitious running goals to the realities of trying to fit training into already full lives. Hilary shares the experience of premiering Raise the Bar, her feature-length film celebrating the women of Western States and the athletes who continue to push the sport forward. Rachel reflects on her standout FKT effort on West Grandeur and the challenge of balancing big athletic goals with motherhood, medical training, and everyday life. Leah talks about building toward UTMB, finding motivation in a busy season of life, and the growing sense of community she's found in Salt Lake City. Katie opens up about navigating family health challenges, illness, interrupted training, and the mental battle of holding onto goals when life keeps throwing curveballs.It's a conversation about ambition, friendship, perspective, and why showing up imperfectly is often the most important part of the process. Whether you're training for your biggest race of the year or simply trying to squeeze a run into a busy week, this episode is a reminder that progress rarely looks perfect, and that's okay. This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A big shout out to our new sponsor ⁠⁠Precision Fuel & Hydration⁠⁠.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Steven Weiniger, posture expert, author, speaker, and creator of the StrongPosture® framework, to explore the deeper science behind posture, movement, and human performance. Together, we challenge the traditional view that posture is simply about spinal alignment and instead examine how the brain, nervous system, and sensory awareness shape the way we move and function. We dive into the relationship between structure and function, the impact of technology and modern lifestyle on movement patterns, and why posture is constantly adapting based on what we repeatedly do every day. Dr. Weiniger also breaks down the concept of interoception, the body's internal awareness system, and explains how it influences posture, balance, breathing, and even longevity. From chiropractic and movement to nervous system retraining and brain-body awareness, this conversation reframes posture as far more than a cosmetic issue. It's a reflection of how the body and brain communicate. If you want to better understand movement, performance, and the future of posture health, this episode will completely change the way you think about the human body.   Key takeaways: Posture is a dynamic reflection of how the brain senses and controls the body, influenced by external and internal cues. Enhancing posture awareness and integrating strong postural movements can significantly impact longevity, resilience, and brain health. Interoception, the awareness of internal body signals, plays a crucial role in how posture is sensed and corrected. Effective posture training encompasses balance, alignment, and motion, encouraging an interconnected approach rather than isolated exercises. A simple longetivity test: Stand tall, lift one leg, and remain balanced for five slow breaths, combining breath awareness with core engagement.   More About Dr. Steven Weiniger: Dr. Steven Weiniger is an internationally recognized posture expert, chiropractor, author, and researcher whose work bridges neuroscience, movement, posture, and healthy aging. He is the creator of the StrongPosture® framework, which explores the connection between posture, interoception, and the brain's predictive processing systems. His research has been published in journals including Frontiers in Neuroscience, and he has presented at the Annual Symposium for Active Inference. Dr. Weiniger is also the author of Stand Taller Live Longer, a practical guide focused on posture, movement, and longevity. Through his StrongPosture® program, he has trained thousands of clinicians worldwide as Certified Posture Exercise Professionals. He also serves on faculty at the University of Western States and teaches at institutions including Northwestern Health Sciences University and the University of Bridgeport. Dr. Weiniger's work has been featured on FOX, CBS, and NBC, helping bring the conversation around posture and brain-body health into the mainstream. 7 Steps to StrongPosture® Self-Help Program Online Continuing Education for Professionals Tools for Professionals CPEP® Certification Instagram Connect with me!

Send us Fan MailTrail running is getting faster right in front of us, and you can see it in the results: course records dropping, deeper fields showing up everywhere, and athletes crossing over from road and track with zero patience for “easing into” the trails. We sit down with Rachel Temaichek to catch up on a wild personal update from racing in Europe, then zoom out into what's already shaping the heart of the season across US trail racing, the Golden Trail World Series, the Skyrunner World Series, and the World Cup calendar.We recap Gorge Waterfalls 30K and why the Lauren Gregory vs Taylor Tuttle showdown felt like a statement race, plus what Mason Cope's performance says about the current level of American men's racing. From there we hit Canyons 50K, where Matt Daniels and McKenna Morley light up a fast course and push the bigger question: are nutrition, training, and shoe tech making trail running records the new normal? That naturally leads into Western States 100, where the fields look deep enough to make even “safe” picks feel spicy.On the international side, we talk Skyrunner quirks like evening starts and headlamps, then go deep on Zagama: the fan energy, the mud, Taylor Stack's historic American podium, and Tove Alexanderson's jaw-dropping course record. We also break down Ledro, the Kenyan depth in the men's race, and the ongoing debate about staggered starts and passing on technical descents.

After a few chaotic weeks away from the mic, Katie is back and catching up with Leah on everything that's unfolded lately, from her son's type 1 diabetes diagnosis to the emotional whiplash of balancing family crisis with training, racing, and everyday life. It's an honest conversation about what happens when running suddenly takes a backseat, and how both of them are navigating UTMB build-up while life keeps throwing curveballs.They also get into local race wins, steep Salt Lake climbs, late-night mountain runs, Western States pacing plans, Broken Arrow prep, and the momentum women's trail running is carrying right now after huge performances from Rachel Entrekin, Tove Alexandersson, and more.

Trail running usually becomes real for people at a local ultra, not while watching UTMB or Western States online. The parking lot at 5am with 53 runners, one exhausted race director, and volunteers giving up their Saturday to help strangers keep moving is still the clearest entry point into the sport. This episode is for the runners who believe the soul of trail running still lives there.Josh explores why the local 50K may be the most important layer in trail running, how participation precedes fandom in ultra culture, why authenticity in trail running still feels earned instead of performed, and why the small grassroots races that built the sport are becoming increasingly fragile in the modern era of spectacle, prestige, and professionalization.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps02:52 The Turning Point of the Race03:57 The Ecosystem of Trail Running07:45 The Local Ultra: An Introduction to Trail Running Culture11:22 The Challenges of Local Trail Races18:00 The Importance of Local Races in Trail RunningResources / LinksSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Josh Rosenthal on IGBorderlands.ccLa French TrailHigh TonesSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

From early days as a basketball player who saw running as punishment, to becoming a dedicated trail runner immersed in the sport's culture, Matt's journey is anything but traditional.What stands out most is how Matt found his way into ultras later in life; through curiosity, community, and proximity to the iconic Bay Area trails like Tilden Park. His first true ultra, the Dick Collins 50 miler, marked the start of a deeper connection to the sport. From there, experiences like the Canyons 100K and involvement with FreeTrail and Trailing Indicators helped shape his identity as a true midpacker balancing life, family, and big goals.But this episode goes deeper than race results. Matt shares a powerful and emotional story about loss in his family and how it reshaped his perspective on running, and life. It's a raw reminder that while we chase big goals, life can shift in an instant.Key Takeaways:Running doesn't need to start early to become meaningfulCommunity is often the glue that keeps us in the sportTaking care of yourself, on and off the trail, is essentialLife is fragile…be present and appreciate the momentRelevant LinksWestern States Endurance Run: https://www.wser.orgCanyons Endurance Runs: https://canyons.utmb.worldTahoe Rim Trail Endurance Runs: https://trter.com/Cocodona 250: https://cocodona.comPartner Links: PlayOn Relief - https://playonrelief.comProven Pain Relief for People Who Refuse to Stop!All Natural, Fast Acting, Long Lasting, Targeted ReliefUse MIDPACKER for 20% off your first orderTraining Peaks A training app as versatile as you.

Send us Fan MailZegama-Aizkorri in the rain is supposed to slow people down. Instead, it gave us one of the loudest statements of the year, and I needed a solo mic to process it. The course was wet, muddy, and technical enough to punish every mistake, yet the racing still felt electric on both sides of the field. If you follow trail running, mountain running, skyrunning, or the Golden Trail World Series, this is the kind of weekend that reshapes expectations.We have to talk about Tove Alexanderson. She didn't just win Zegama, she smashed the course record and put massive time into athletes who are normally right in the mix. I dig into why her background on technical terrain translates so well, why her finishes look like she emptied the tank every single time, and what her path could look like with big targets like Ledro SkyRace, Quebec Mega Trail, and the bigger season narrative that ends at Sierre-Zinal. The big question I keep coming back to: are we watching a one-year heater, or the start of a truly dominant era?Then we flip to the men and I make the case that Taylor Stack might be the next great American short-trail star. The podium at Zegama matters, the way he raced matters, and I don't think we've seen his ceiling yet. We also hit the Kilian Jornet conversation, what we know about the rough day and the fall, why I'm not panicking, and why I still think he's a major factor going forward, including Western States.Listen, share this with a friend who loves the sport, and then leave a review if you want to support the show.

Marianne Hogan est de retour au podcast pour une 25e édition de la série Sur la route, à quelques semaines de son objectif A de l'année : la Western States 100. Et fidèle à l'habitude, on a beaucoup de choses à se raconter. On revient sur son printemps bien rempli entre son camp Salomon aux îles Canaries, sa victoire à l'EcoTrail Paris, une escale à Madère, les entraînements à Flagstaff et son expérience de pacer pour Courtney Dauwalter sur la Cocodona 250. Des anecdotes, des réflexions et des apprentissages qui sont pertinents pour tous les niveaux de traileurs. On parle aussi de sa préparation particulière cette année pour la Western States. Grâce à sa 3e place en 2025, Marianne n'a pas eu besoin de passer par une course Golden Ticket ni de construire sa saison autour d'un gros dossard préparatoire. Avantage ou inconvénient? Elle partage avec transparence son état d'esprit à l'approche de cette troisième participation, où elle portera le dossard F3 sur la ligne de départ. Une jasette toujours aussi sympathique et humaine avec une athlète qui continue d'évoluer autant comme coureuse que comme personne.

Thank you for listening today, friends! We've got a fun episode with Heidi Garner today, in which we'll learn what it's like to create artwork and merchandise for races, run a small business while navigating family schedules, and plan out an award-winning Javelina Jundred costume. Heidi also shares some of her hard-earned wisdom with us, including the relevance of squirrels on cocaine, the evolution of her creative process, and why it's important to train in the dark. Heidi's stories remind us that sometimes, the most extraordinary moments happen when the world goes quiet and we venture into the dark.Heidi is an incredible artist, accomplished runners in ultras and on roads, and volunteer in the community. She isn't just an ultrarunner: she's an artist, mother, and passionate storyteller who believes that the little moments shared on the trail are what make races so special. She lives with her husband and children near the Canyons and Western States courses.The long quote Heidi provides comes from Jenny Lawson's book How To Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay.

Dr. Teddy Bross is a practicing family medicine physician at Highpoint Direct Care where he focuses on the treatment of athletes and active adults in Colorado and select surrounding states. He is an avid mountain ultra trail athlete, husband and father. Happiest in the company of friends and indulging in small joys, Dr. Teddy is a seeker of wild flowers, avid reader and consumer of poetry, and frequent DIY project manager, including the building of a dreamy Finnish basement sauna.In this episode, Teddy and Jon talk about the massive gaps that exist in traditional medicine for endurance athletes and why so many runners are struggling with fatigue, low energy availability, recurring injuries, and burnout without getting meaningful answers.They dive into the realities of modern healthcare, why most runners wait too long to seek help, and how Teddy approaches athlete care differently through direct primary care. The conversation also explores ferritin and iron deficiency, underfueling, GI issues in endurance sports, why so many athletes are chronically exhausted, and how curiosity plays a role both in medicine and in running.Teddy also shares stories from pacing David Roche at Leadville, witnessing the emotional moment at Foresthill during Western States, and what excellence really looks like behind the scenes.This episode is a deep look at athlete health, performance, consistency, and the systems that either support or fail runners trying to stay healthy long term.Stay connected: Learn more about Highpoint Direct Care: https://www.highpointdirectcare.com/aboutusDr. Teddy Bross on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/run.doctor/This episode is supported by:Precision Fuel & Hydration - Dial your fueling in this year.

ode we are joined by Brian Morrison, author of Given to Fly: A Story of Tragedy, Triumph, and Realization at Western States 100, about one of the most unforgettable finishes in ultrarunning history. Brian takes listeners back to the 2006 Western States 100, where he was leading the race before collapsing on the Placer High School track just steps from victory, later being disqualified because he received assistance crossing the finish line. The conversation explores how Scott Jurek's belief in him helped Brian transform from a talented but relatively unproven runner into someone who truly believed he could win Western States. But the heart of the episode is not just the collapse, it is the decade that followed, as Brian wrestled with regret, obsession, identity, family, and the need to return in 2016 to finally finish the race on his own terms. For trail runners and endurance athletes, this episode is a powerful reminder that failure is not always the opposite of success, sometimes it becomes the thing that reshapes us, redirects us, and teaches us what the finish line could never have taught alone.  Links YouTube video, "A Decade On" by GingerRunner Link to buy the Book Episode Sponsors: Tifosi Optics - CLARITY ON THE TRAIL: Post your Golden Nugget of wisdom that helps you recover after a huge effort on Instagram, tag @TifosiOptics, @TrailRunnerNation, and use the hashtag #ClarityOnTheTrail.  OR try texting us (within the USA) with your tip: 916-235-3928.

After a couple missed recording attempts and a very full few weeks, Leah and Hilary finally sit down to catch up. Hilary shares her pregnancy news and what the last few months have looked like balancing training, work, commentary, and just trying to survive the first trimester. The conversation also dives into Cocodona, Rachel Entrekin's massive performance, the growing momentum behind women's ultrarunning, and the different ways athletes navigate motherhood, racing, and identity within the sport.They also touch on Western States training camp season, postpartum running, Hilary's upcoming film premiere, and why this era of trail running feels especially exciting 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.

Oz Pearlman is a well-known mentalist-entertainer and a less-well-known marathon and ultramarathon runner. However, his record on the roads and trails is just about as impressive as his mindreading tricks.Pearlman, 43, has run a 2:23 marathon, a 2:25 at Boston, and finished the Western States 100, the Badwater 135, and the Spartathlon in Greece. Recently, he was the planned entertainer at the White House Correspondents dinner in Washington, D.C.--the evening interrupted by gun shots and an apparent assassination attempt.Pearlman was crouched between President Trump and press secretary Karoline Leavitt, attempting to guess the name of her unborn child, when the first shots were heard. A moment later, he was caught in the swarm of Secret Service agents who stormed in to protect Trump, and lead him to safety.In this podcast, Pearlman chillingly describes the scene, including the fear he felt for himself and his wife and friends in attendance.He also talks about his early days in marathon running when he knew virtually nothing about the sport, and what he needed to learn before he became more successful. He's particularly insightful in explaining some of the shared mental strategies between his on-stage performances and in the last miles of a marathon or ultra.For more about Pearlman, check out his website or his Instagram feed.WHERE TO FIND "RUNNING: STATE OF THE SPORT"Use your smartphone to download our podcast from Apple, Spotify, Pandora, or YouTube Podcasts.

Ooh mama! This was a good one! We talked about Canyons, Cocodona, Jim's entrance to Western States, and some of the behind the scenes info on what coaches struggle with.

It's been an unruly ride, but it's time to say bon voyage to Spirit Airlines. While we're mourning that, we still found time to run in the Brooks Hyperion Max 4 and Ghost Max 4. Still, not nearly enough miles as our trail reviewer Alex, who is currently at mile 211 at the Cocodona 250 (at the time we're writing this). We talk about all that and more in this week's edition of The Drop.Join us at Western States, apply HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfRssHXBjPhvjNqV7achcoJkPwWTBIcKB7C5HJqKlz4NqpiGg/viewformSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!LMNT: Summer hydration has never been better, because Lemonade Ice Tea is finally here!

We violated the warranty on ankle tape before this great episode! A main topic involved taking a step back to understand the historic context of Vinny Mauri's 2:05 debut marathon. We think it's a performance that signals a fundamental shift in the future of the sport for everyone, and we discuss why.We also talked about the exciting news that Jim Walmsley is heading to Western States with a sponsor slot. The GOAT is back! David had some terrible hot takes, and he's now panicking that he didn't give enough disclaimers that he doesn't actually believe any of them.And this one had lots of fun topics! Other topics: unique uses of athletic tape, Abby Steiner sues Puma over their shoes, misconceptions about training volume, physiological testing of private parts, uninformed thoughts on the Kentucky Derby, a hydration review arguing that many athletes underhydrate outside of training, a study on ketones during hard efforts, using caffeine to increase heart rate, combining Nomio and bicarb, the wild world of zone compression, AI thoughts, and lots more.To us, you are all in the top 1%. That will make sense after you listen. Unfortunately.We love you all!
