The tables get turned on the monumental podcast. Joel makes his big announcement and then we proceed to put him on the hot seat.
It has been an absolute pleasure working side by side with Joel over the past 3+ years on the TrailManners podcast. It has been an amazing ride and TrailManners hope to continue to be a great source for all our listeners. 
Please join with me to thank Joel for all his contributions not only to the podcast but to the trail running community. See you soon buddy!

I would never bet against Garth. We first met Garth through the TrailManners podcast and some time later heard about his story. To call it inspiring would be an understatement. Garth went from 400+ pounds to marathon to ultra is a very short time. Along that way he lost over 200 pounds and set an example to so many around him. Garth- you are amazing and we are lucky to know you. Thanks for taking the time to sit down and talk to us about your journey. I cannot wait to see you conquer more goals!

Happy New Year! We are more than excited to start 2019 off with one of our favorite humans- Scott Jaime. Scott kicked off our podcast back in November 2015 on Episode #1 so we thought it was time to get him back. We cover what he has been up to, state of ultra running, his BIG plans for 2019 (hint: F.K.T.'s- plural) and we put him on the hot seat for our Lightning Round. 
Thanks you Scott and we wish you luck! 
Here is to a glorious 2019!

Well, the highlight of this show is definitely the part where the hosts are in tears and doubled over in laughter (even though you can't see it- you can feel it). It doesn't happen often but it sure did on STS #118. The good news- Joel has escaped with a little dignity.
