Trail Running

 Another big year for Jeff Browning is in the books and he just keeps getting fitter, faster, better and healthier- this is one guy who seems to have found the fountain of youth. We had Jeff on the once before and everytime we talk to him we learn a thing or two. From his stories about UTMB to his vast knowledge of OFM, we promise this show has something for everyone. 
CONTEST ALERT: And one of Jeff's sponsors- UltrAspire- has been kind enough to send over a Velocity pack for us to giveaway. The Velocity pack came from a napkin that Jeff started to skept out a few years back.
Enjoy Episode #100 and don't forget to listen to find out the contest rules.

 Joel got all dressed up for this weeks episode of the Singletrack Session. Why? Cause he likes to roll like that. This week we give some east coast love for a Hardrock qualifier, let you know some great races that just opened for 2018 and talk a little but about "Virtual races". Help us out here....
Have a great weekend and don't forget to get out and run.

 With her first full year of racing behind her, we catch up with 3rd place female finisher of the Bear 100- Kelsy Bingham. You may remember her first time on the show way back on Episode #25 when we covered her recovery from Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. Well Kelsy beat that and know she is covering the miles in the mountains with smiles and positivity. We cannot express enough how happy we are for Kelsy and her family and all they have done. 
Congrats on an amazing 2017! We can't wait to see what 2018 brings.

 The Bear and Beanies. We are happy and excited to announce that our Beanies are open for Pre-Sale. First 50 (well 48 cause we each get one) are up for grabs. They are selling fast and sure to be a hit. We also talk a lot about the Bear 100. It was a magical weekend here in Utah (and Idaho technically) as we got to see so many friends old and new at the incredible race. Congrats to all those who were there! 
And of course we announce this weeks winner of the WDYFTY contest. With the seasons changing we can't wait to see Where Youyr Feet Take You.
Have a great week and enjoy the Singletrack Session.

Anytime we get a chance to talk to Turd'l we take it. There is never a dull moment so we need to take full advantage when we can. Not only do we enjoy having him on the show but we like to just sit in Studio 78 eating burritos, drinking beer and rockin puffies. 
We want to encourage everyone to come to St George the first weekend in December for a celebration of trail running at the Capstone races. See you all at "The Stone".

It is already the end of September and we have seen some snow fly. It is a great time to remember to make sure you are prepared when heading to higher elevations. It can get nasty and change on a dime - stay safe and have the proper gear. This weekend is also the Bear 100 in Logan, Utah- one of our favorites. Good Luck to all those running. BEANIES....Beanies are coming- stay tuned....
Have a great week and thanks for your support!

Our repeat champion, Luke Nelson, is back to fill us in on his 2017 activism, adventures and what he has in store for 2018.
When we last spoke with Luke Nelson, in February of 2017, he was preparing for RUFA and hinted at some extraordinary adventure runs for the Summer of 2017 (Utah 13ers and Nolans). In this interview we learned that Luke and Jared Campbell set the record for the fastest traverse of Utah’s 13ers and that they had a successful attempt at Nolans but did come up a bit short on the Nolans FKT.
We wrap up the interview talking about the Bear 100, running Hardrock 100 or even maybe Barkley’s Marathon (yikes!), and the new race distances for the 2018 SMUT.

 Another interesting week in the world of trail and ultra running. The Denver Post put out a great story that we hope everyone will read. Stay safe out there especially with the changing weather on those mountain peaks. Another FKT falls this week thanks to the uber talented Darcy Piceu. Big news comes from Steamboat as Run Rabbit Run announces some big changes and big money for 2018. 
Have a great week and thank you all for your support.

2018 races are starting to open up and we dive deep into plans we are thinking for next year. Still so much up in the air between racing and adventure runs but things fill up fast these days. We recap an awesome weekend of racing and talk about Joel's birthday run in the Tetons. Plus- WTYFTY winner is announced.
Have a great weekend everyone!

The Wasatch 100 has another 2 time winner- Trevor Fuchs. We sit Trevor down in Studio 78 two days after another impressive win at the 2017 Wasatch 100. He pretty much ran at the front from the start and had a nearly flawless day. We cover the past year from working with a coach for the first time, running the inaugural Gib Wallace race (shameless plug) and getting married to his beautiful wife Tempest. Hanging out with Trevor is a blast and you can just see the love he has for trail running and the local trail community when he talks. After a little down time, Trevor will get right back on it for his trip to Hawaii in January 2018 for the running of the HURT 100....Good Luck!
Thank you Trevor for taking the time to talk and thank you for the reminder to make sure we have fun out there on the trails.

Since all eyes were on Europe last week we figured we could start our show wrapping up the CCC and UTMB. Huge perfomances at both of those and a special shout out to Clare and Hayden for coming home with wins at CCC. UTMB seemed to have an upset - but was it really? 
A couple of big FKT's fell and Aric got his Tenkara Rod - game on...FISH ON!

We are back with Episode #95 and Sarah McCloskey. Sarah epitomizes toughness and mental strength. Just by talking to her you can get a glimpse of why she is one hell of a mountain runner. The fact we lost our first show with her and she wasn't phased at all for the next try shows how she can take anything in stride and just keep moving. As she approaches another Wasatch 100 start we get to talk to her about her thoughts on crew, pacing and all things 100 related. We learned a lot from our guest and we can bet you can to. Thank you Sarah for not just sitting down with us but for being an amazing trail mentor to so many.
