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 ...
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 Ba...
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. Enjo...
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...
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 thi...
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 co...
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 runni...
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 t...
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 h...
Alright folks- you spoke we listened. After the Best of last week we got some feedback and decided to throw out the #2 show- Luke Nelson. Is it a coincidence that these 2 shows were shot the same day, same location and pretty much the same time? Enjoy the show- next week we are back to game on!
As we regroup from family loss and family surgery, we will bring back our top played episode to date. Congrats to Turd'l for pulling this off- So much fun and loads of laughs. Enjoy the show and have a great week!
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 Tenne...
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...
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 i...
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. Show Notes: Her 1st 50 mile trail race Hot Dogs as fue...
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. Show Notes: Outdoor Ambiance Thoughts on her 1st 50 miler Her 80/20 rule M.O.P.E.D. No "Adulting" job...
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. Show Notes: Race & Have fun "Eyeing" some FKT's The Grand Loop Active Recovery "Beach season"
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 p...
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 t...
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 y...
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 ...
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. RIP Stephen Jones and condolences to your family.Western States steps up big time and possibly sets a trend for racing, testing and PED's.Wasatch 100 held their lottery and our man Tu...
It's a great day- not because it's Groundhog day but it's because Joel is back! We get right into some current news and what we have coming up for shows and our website. There is also a new contest that we hope you participate in. Use Instagram to post a photo of you on a peak and do the silly hashtag thing- #trailmanners and at the end of February we will draw a name for some awesome prizes. We also get into other training tools from strength and conditioning to recovery and "staying on the boo...
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.
