Episode #55- Chelsea Hathaway: Bear 100

Training for your first 100 mile trail race can be tough. Breaking your foot 9 months before your first 100 mile trail race can be frustrating. Running your first 100 mile trail race can be a overwhelming. Running your way to a 26:35 in one of the worst Bear 100's in history can be legendary!
When we heard Chelsea's story and her amazing accomplishment at this years Bear 100, we knew we had to get her on the show. Luck would have it and she agreed to sit down in Studio 78 to tell us her story. Congrats to Chelsea and all the people who toed the line at the Bear!

Episode #54- Trevor Fuchs: Wasatch 100 Winner

Its always great when your guests runs the rainy trails to get to Studio 78 for a show. During a solid little downpour, Trevor Fuchs (like books with an "F") jumped on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail to meet up with us at 22nd st Trailhead for a very memorable show. 
He grew up in Boulder with a history or running in his family but it wasn't until he started to get unhealthy that he really started to get after it. 
We sat down with Trevor as he told the story of how he went on to win the Wasatch 100 by 3 seconds.
Thanks Trevor, we are sure we will see you on the trails.

Episode #53- Tommy Barlow: Grand Slammer

With his long summer of travel and running finally winding down, we caught up with Tommy "Back-half" Barlow to get all the details. He became the 282nd person to officially complete the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning and the 18th person from Utah to do it. 
It got off to a rocky start with a injury that needed some last minute TLC before the long drive to Western but Tommy not only got his finish but he did it under 24 hours. He then followed that up with a couple sub 24's at Vermont and Leadville before tackling his home course in the Wasatch mountains. 
Thanks to Tommy "Back-half" Barlow for hanging out with the TrailManners crew.

Episode #52- AmerSport Factory Outlet/Salomon: Conor Wright, Josh Korn & Mike Ambrose- and a Contest

We once again found ourselves walking the hallowed halls of AmerSport in Ogden, Utah. We figure if they see us around enough they will just hire us. We met up with Conor Wright, Manager of the AmerSport Factory Outlet, to talk about the big tent sale that kicks off on Friday September 23rd. Conor tells us about all the deals and what you can expect- you don't want to miss this if you are in the area. Then Conor was kind enough to donate a Suunto Ambit3 Vertical to giveaway in a contest: Have a listen or details.
Next we met up with Josh Korn and Mike Ambrose- these dudes are fast. We talked shop and had just a little fun ...cause that's what we do. We are excited to see what Salomon has planned of 2017 and so should you.

Singletrack Session #10

Sitting in Studio 78 recording Singletrack Session #10 got a little dicey - we had a very feisty Yellow Jacket that either wanted backstage passes to the show or didn't have its morning cup of Joe. Either way we prevailed and talked about the past week as well as he week to come. 
Make sure you listen and jump on the Pre-Sale of the Custom TrailManners Beanies from Boco Gear. Have a great weekend and enjoy the show!
