Trailmanners

Ladies and gentlemen, we are jumping head first into a new world for us here at TrailManners....Google Hangouts. We have so many people we want to talk to and getting face to face is nearly impossible so we tried our first show through the web. While we are happy with ho it turned out we know we can dial it in more. Thank you for your patience. We are thrilled to have on one of our favorite guests for a second time- Ty Draney. He is everything that the sport embodies. He recently headed to Tennessee to have a go at The Barkley Marathon. Have a listen to the show to hear a little bit more about his experience.  For more info on the race  heck out the documentary HERE.  Show Notes: Google Hangouts Barkley Marathon Intro Picking up Instagram followers Navigation Future plans

Here on the TrailManners podcast we seem to always be talking about "our guy"- you know the one that helps keep our body working and on the trails. Well we booked some time for Nate to join us to talk about what he does and why we need it. Nate is our unicorn, the almost mystical person who people love but decide not to drop the name too much so "our guy" isn't to busy for us.  He is no stranger to athletes- he was once a semi-pro football player and has worked on olympians, collegiate stars, key local athletes and of course the running community. He has been seen at the Hardrock 100, Wasatch 100, Bear 100 and the Buffalo Run to name a few.  We all need "our guy" or "our gal" to help us reach our goals and have a healthy life.  We would love to hear who you have in your area so send us a message and we can pass it along. Enjoy the show everyone and THANK YOU for supporting us. Show Notes: TrailManners Show stats to date (wow) Ogden- "Still Untamed" Nate- "How it all began" Nate ruins your Spa Day Myofasci

It has been pretty easy to start a show saying we have a special guest but this episode reached a new level. Friend and local runner Kelsy Bingham has met challenges head on- NCAA Division I women basketball- Sweet 16, pro cycling, motherhood and being a new trail runner but less than 5 months ago she found out she had a rare form of cancer and a new challenge to take on.  We see so much negativity and heart ache everyday so being able to sit down with Kelsy and have her tell us her story is so inspiring. We knew her story but after we walked away from this show we were in awe. She is as tough as they come and as humble as you can be. Kelsey, thank you for sharing this with us and we look forward to sharing the trails with you soon- you are amazing!

When we talk to a guest we have never met or spoken to, we get a little nervous. After Amy sat down we knew we were going to have a gem of a show on our hands. Amy came down from Great Falls, MT to run her 1st ever 50 mile trail race. Soon as she finished she came on over and sat down for a show that was full of laughs. Our 4th show from the island will not disappoint. Thanks Amy for putting up with us and good luck in your future endeavors.

She did it! Jacquie King finished her first 50 mile trail race and within 5 minutes we had her behind the mic and getting her thoughts on the day. It was great to get in her head and listen to what she had to say about her race, beer, quitting her "adulting job" and future goals for racing. Thanks Jacquie and good luck moving forward.

Our next show in the Buffalo Run Series is with Zac Marion. Zac is a local guy who is always smiling at these events. He had a good day running the 50 mile race - placing 1st and then took some time sit down with us and talk shop. Thanks Zac and good luck in 2016.

Studio 78 may not have wanted to go to the island but the crew here at TrailManners wasn't going to miss it. We were excited to be there and to grab a few people to talk too after a finish. Our first guest we got behind the mic was Leslie Howlett and she was coming off a solid 5:01 finish in the 50k.  Show Notes: Race day thoughts "Ankle stretching" Nursing school Thoughts on the Grand Slam Western States training/thoughts Zion Traverse

Happy Saint Patricks Day! We have another bonus show for you- this time from Park City Running Company. We were happy that Canice took the bait and accepted the invite to be on the show. When we arrived he served up some Dirty Chai's and it was game on. With the chance of sounding like a broken record- Canice is an amazing guy and you can just feel how passionate he is about what he does. He has established an absolutely amazing run store while keeping the community in mind. It was an absolute pleasure to get to know Canice and hear the story of PCRC as well as talk about his own story of comebacks and running. Good Luck at Western States Canice- GO GET IT!

We had an amazing time getting together at Park City Running Company with Suzanne Lewis. She embodies what the trail community is about and we are already looking forward to our next show with her. She is not only a rockstar runner but also a dietician and nutritionist. She shares her secrets and educates us along the way. After you listen to the show, be sure to email us some questions that we will jot down and cover next time we have her on.  Thanks again Suzanne and good luck at Western States!

Dude- BONUS! Yep- we are throwing out a bonus show. There is so much happening we had to launch an extra one. The past couple shows we discussed pacing and crewing so Episode #18 dives into- No Pace, No Crew.  We don't want to spoil the show with a lot of text- have a listen and let us know what you think. Show Notes: Bonus talk No Pacer? No Crew? Stop by and say Hi on the Island

We are BACK IN THE BUS- Studio 78 never felt so good. The bus braved the rain and pulled into the Beus Trailhead in beautiful Ogden, Utah for a fun show. After we cover some of the basics we got right after it. Special guest- Crew Master/Studio78 repairman and all around good guy Lane Farka joined us to cover the ins and outs of crewing. Last week we covered pacing so the next logical step would be the best way to crew your runner. Although there is no "perfect" way to do it- we try to discuss the things that can make it a success. Being a part of a crew means you are part foot doctor, treasure map reader, nutritionist, cab dancer, motivational speaker, time manager and responsible friend. It may not all be roses and rainbows but to see your runner reach their goal is priceless. Don't forget to leave a reply on Facebook for a chance to win a free entry into the Beaverhead 100k or 50k. Also, don't forget to share the show and invite your friends to listen! And lastly- make sure you come by and say HELLO at the

After we catch up on some local weekly news we jump right into a topic that is dear to our hearts- pacing. Now pacing a trail/ultra race is a totally different ball game than pacing at a road race.  How do you select a pacer? What makes a good pacer? What are a pacers duties? Pacing pros and cons? Pacer preparations? Do you need a pacer? Is there pacing pressure? Pacer gifts? Car drops? We dive into all these topics and hope to answer some questions and entertain you at the same time. Make sure you listen to the end so you can jump in and participate in the next TM contest. We look forward to hearing those great pacer stories! Thanks for listening...enjoy!

Did you miss us? We sure missed you. After an amazing trip to DC we are back and firing on all cylinders. We thought we would start by catching up on a few race results from Moab and Black Canyon. A couple early season races in amazing places. Congrats to those who punched tickets to the "big dance"- Western States 100 and all those who got out.  We had to take a few minutes to give a huge thanks and shout out to Mr. Jim Skaggs from Buffalo Run Adventures for all his support and help through the years. The Buffalo Run is fast approaching and registration closes on February 29th. Don't put it off any longer- register! The island is a magical place to run and the finish line party is crazy fun- plus you can get some amazing Buffalo Stew. We close it out with some tips from our very own Joel Hatch on strength training. He throws out some great advice and helps answer a few questions to get started. Thanks again for listening and don't forget to visit the site soon for some great TrailManners gear! Show Not

When trouble hits the trail community people really step up. We had to say goodbye to yet another amazing person. It is humbling and inspiring to see so many people ready to do whatever is needed to help. We feel fortunate to be associated with so many people and groups and see and hear what they are willing to do.

Alright- time to announce the winner of the Scout Mountain Ultra Trail race entry but first we want to take a moment to give a shout out to those who backed us with our Kickstarter campaign. We were right up against the deadline but on Christmas Eve TrailManners Nation pushed it through. We cannot thank you enough and we are truly humbled by your support. As promised, we are dedicating a show to you. The shirts and hats should be shipping this week so keep your eyes open.We sure missed Joel this week but don't worry- he will be back next week.Thank you again for all your support!And congrats to the lucky winner!!!

PODCAST note: There is a SMUT race contest with this episode. That's right- a free entry into the distance of your choice for Scout Mountain Ultra but that's not all- you will also receive a Patagonia hat AND shirt from the race. Make sure to listen to find out all the details.. With the Outdoor Retailers Show showing up in SLC, UT we knew we had to score a few high quality shows. The opportunity to throw a mic at Luke Nelson was a no brainer. Not only is he one of those people that you want to be around but he makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Luke grew up in the mountains but it wasn't until a dare to run a marathon got him fired up about running and the rest is history. Luke was dared to sign up a week before a local marathon (with no training) and he obliged. He had about a week to get ready so he started training. A few days after he registered he got in a 3 mile training run but that left his legs a bit tired and sore. In true runner fashion he decided to taper after those 3 miles and let the legs rest. A

If you have ever been to a Ultra Adventure race, you most likely came across Turdl Miller. He is an all around good guy and let's face it- he is pretty darn funny too. Turdl took some time from Outdoor Retailers in SLC, UT to invite us into his 1989 VW Bus for a very memorable show.  We discussed his role at Ultra Adventures as well as his 2016 race schedule. TrailManners found out Turdl has put in for the 2016 Wasatch 100 and we hope the lottery gods #LetTurdlRun! We received some great insight into the VanLife from a seasoned pro and walked away enlightened.We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it.

It's a New Year and here at TrailManners we are off and running. And we thought we would kick it off with a local legend, awesome RD and all around great guy- Jim Skaggs.Jim has been a solid presence in the Wasatch Mountains since they formed. He has done so much for the trail and ultra running community in Utah and we wanted to know more about him. He started the Buffalo Run with a little over 100 runners and now as he exceeds 800 he still hasn't lost that small race, home town feel. With his home brew and amazing wife Karen (the best stew cook this side of the Mississippi) they make sure all the runners have a great time before and after the race. You would be hard pressed to find a chink in his armor other than the fact he doesn't like IPA's. Jim not only puts on incredible races but he gets out and performs at the best of them too. He is a Grand Slammer and throws in the occasional 5k for fun. He is well versed in the art of racing- from timed runs on a flat track to going sub 30 at Wasatch. We were excit

Well folks, 2015 is already coming to an end and we cannot thank you all enough for your support. We have enjoyed bringing TrailManners to life and we absolutely could not have done it without you. It's like making a killer sandwich - if no one is there to eat it....is it any good? We have received some great feedback and even a few people seemed surprised it turned out as well as it has and we are good with that. 2016 is already panning out to be fun filled and amazing. We have several quality guests lined up and more in the works. Our website is ready for the next step as well. We hope to make it a great place for everyone to come and enjoy some great articles and learn a thing or two.We hope you enjoy Episode #8 and please feel free to reach out to us- who do you want to hear from, what do you want to hear about, do you wanna be a guest, do you have a hidden talent for writing and are okay with being paid in high-5's?Thanks again and thanks to everyone who backed our Kickstarter campaign- WE DID IT!
