Trailmanners

Singletrack Session #5 from 22nd St TH in beautiful Ogden, Utah. Game on!

We have been looking forward to this show for awhile now. Peter & Bob started Suffer Better a few years ago and they get it. Just another example of amazing people doing amazing things. We encourage everyone to head over to their website and support them in everything they do. In return- you get to fly the Suffer Better flag and be apart of changing lives.  Thank you Peter, Bob and everyone who supports Suffer Better. Don't forget to look into SB4GOOD. Make a difference! Show Notes: What is Suffer Better Where did it come from How can we get involved SB4GOOD

To kick off our Outdoor Retailers Show Series we met up with Hayden Hawks. The last few months have been a whirlwind for Hayden as he appeared to come out of nowhere to smack the trail running world upside the head but as we talk to Hayden we find he has been setting these goals for himself for quite awhile.  We want to congratulate Hayden on reaching his goals and wish him luck in September as he heads to Bulgaria to represent Team USA- NOW GO GET IT! Show Notes: Where he came from SpeedGaot 50k HOKA Training in Southern Utah Team USA

Jennilyn is definitely one of our favorite guests ( Episode #4). Our schedules finally worked out so we came back to Park City Run Company to get the scoop on her Barkley's Marathon as well as her amazing feat of finishing the Millwood 100. You never now what to expect with Jennilyn and this show proved it- we had mentions on a stare down with a mountain lion and some awesome Harry Potter references.

Canice was a guest on our show for Episode #20 and now we are back with him at Park City Running Company. He is fresh off a grueling adventure race in Wyoming and a sweet tan/burn/peel line from the event. We catch up with Canice on his preparation for Western States and the race itself.  As always- thanks for the amazing hospitality!

Here we go again with another Singletrack Session. Enjoy!

There are so many amazing and unique stories in running. When we had a chance to talk to Dom about his running career and philosophy, we knew we had to jump right on it. Dom talked about some interesting points when it comes to his style of training and racing- from nutrition and hydration to heart rate training. Since he is a graduate from Oxford and MIT we just sat back and took notes.  He mentioned ultra running as the "wild west" of training and we couldn't agree more.  Thanks Dom for an unforgettable show.  Show Notes: Running philosophy Wild west of training Heart rate training

We headed back to our home away from home in Park City and met up with guest Brian Tolbert at Park City Running Company. Right when we walked in the door we got the first real life glimpse on the "power- stache". Mr. Tolbert is one on the good ones in the sport. He is a great guy and just easy to sit and chat with. Brian started in with a little background of his bike racing life until the switch over to running the trail. He may be a little newer to trail racing but he has some super impressive results. He takes us on a race by race breakdown as well as what's ahead.  Thanks again to Canice and Park City Running Company and of course Brian "power-stache" Tolbert.

Studio 78 is back so we parked at the 22nd street Trailhead in Ogden and met up with a true Ambassador of all things fun. Stephanie Gardner is the Western States Tech Rep for Salomon and Suunto as well as an Ambassador for And She's Dope Too. Just by listening to her you can tell she loves what she does and she definitely lives life to the fullest. With so much to talk about we just ran out of time so we are super excited to her back on the show in the near future.  Check out the links below and please do not forget to participate in the Hardrock 100 contest.

We are super excited to get Ashley Nordell on Google Hangouts for this episode.  I have been a fan of Ashley's for many years. She does "her thing" quietly and just goes out and racks up wins. Fresh off her Bighorn 100 win, Ashley talks to us about how this years race was different, the challenges faced with racing and being a mom as well as working with a coach for the first time. Have a listen and enjoy! Show Notes: Bighorn 100- 1st Place women/5th Place Overall (21:38)- New CR Being coached Balance: Being a mom and running What's next? (Photo credit: Scott Kruis)

With all the questions we have been getting in regards to coaching we thought we would bring someone on that knew firsthand. Debbie has never been coached but in January of this year that changed. She talks about the process she has gone through and how it has positively impacted not just her running but her life. As the interview goes on you can hear the excitement in her voice as she gets closer to her "A" race in September. Thanks Debbie for taking the time to sit down with TrailManners. Enjoy the show!

It is always fun when you can bring a guest back for a second time. Just a couple days after her Bighorn 100 mile race Tara Warren agreed to be back on the show. The first time we had Tara on it wasn't long after her first 100 mile race- The Bear 100. 9 months later she took on the Bighorn and PR'd by over 6 hours- going 28:48 for a woman's top 10 finish.  We talk to Tara about things she learned, whats she has been up to as well as what it is like to be the proud parent of a high school National Champion track athlete and new record holder in the 4x1mile relay. We also talk about testing out some new UltrAspire gear, crazy animal attacks and we want to know your thoughts on the Western States 100 this weekend. Sit back relax and enjoy another episode of TrailManners....and as always THANK YOU for your support.

With all the buzz around a recent article put out by iRunFar written by Luke Nelson we knew we had to get him on again. Unfortunately we had to do it via Google Hangouts so the sound isn't what we hoped it would be. As we still work on dialing that in- the info we talk about with Luke needs to be heard. You can head over to iRunFar and read the article HERE. With the growth of our sport and more and more people getting out to enjoy the backcountry- Luke's article should make us all stop and think. We would love to hear your comments and views. We also planted a seed on a great idea we had: Backcountry Survival weekend by Luke Nelson. I can't wait- :) Show Notes: Runners Responsibility  Who is in charge of taking care of you?

Well we had big plans of doing a show after the SMUT race this past Saturday but unfortunately we were toast. The heat and race took its toll so after about an hour of sitting around trying to regroup we called it and started the drive back home. We had a great time seeing some familiar faces and new ones and as always enjoyed our journey in the mountains.  During this show will we recap the race and just talk trails. Show Notes: SMUT Race We got cooked Coaching Why run?

We hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! Unfortunately Joel is under the weather so that means Aric is going solo. We announce the winner of the contest from Episode 29 and talk about a few new policies from Hardrock 100 and Western States 100.  Aric dives into some random topics and TrailManners needs some feedback and insight from its listeners in regards to great music, running sunglasses and questions to answer for the new trail runner. Sit back relax and enjoy the show....and of course- thank you all so much for your support! Show Notes: Contest Winner: Isaac Gallegos- Congrats! Hardrock 100 and the new Electrolyte policy Western States is cupless Cruiser run music  Randomness

Episode 30 was a blast. We had the pleasure of having Eric Johnson on the show and he provided us with some great insight. Eric is a truly remarkable person and amazing runner. He ran his first Wasatch 100 in 1992 and then took 10 years off before completing it 10 more times and countless other races. This year he ran the Iditarod 1000....yes 1000 miles on the Iditarod course in Alaska. He hit the start line with 5 other people and finished in 26 days 18 hours and 49 minutes. We talk about running, racing and life. Thank you Eric and we are very excited to get you back on the show.  Show Notes Gear: The Early years- John McEnroe headband/headlamp Arctic Ultras Reservations at a BNB along the Iditarod course Ninja Turtle Sheets What motivates Eric?

We had a great chance to get Matt on the schedule via Google Hangouts to talk to him about his amazing films. Although we need to still do some tweaking to the process, we think Matt sounded great. His first to films are incredible, first- Running the Edge: The Colorado Trail and now the newly released- Kissing the Rock. He does such an amazing job or telling these stories and allowing the viewer an inside look to not just the characters but the mystique surrounding them.  We encourage everyone to not just watch them both but schedule a showing in your area.  Matt mentions his next project and we can't wait to get him back on the show as it draws near.  CONTEST ALERT: If Matt did a film about TrailManners- what should it be called? Submit your answers via our Facebook page for a chance to win a TrailManners Visor or hat of your choice! Aric & Joel will pick the winner and announce it on an upcoming show. Contest ends Wednesday May 25th. More Info Kissing the Rock http://www.kissingtherock.com

We are back and we are getting amped up for a great summer of running, racing and meeting new people. Episode 28 helps us settle back into the groove and get ready for a laundry list of killer people that we will have on the show. It was only a few weeks but we missed you all. And guess what- Boco Gear Visors are in stock- yeah baby! We hope all you amazing mothers had a Mothers Day to remember! Show Notes: What have we been up to Joel has a coach What we have been using lately  Boco Visors are here!
