TrailManners

The TrailManners crew is from the beautiful trails in Ogden, Utah and we’re here to connect you to wherever trail, ultra and mountain running takes us. We’ll chat with amazing athletes, discuss the latest trends and get you stoked for your next trail adventure. We will have interviews, gear reviews, race reports, LOTS of podcasts, contests and loads of entertainment from beers of the week, random bigfoot sightings, race updates and everything in between. TrailManners is about capturing the moment: the possibility that everyday has the potential to be the best day of your life. Every day. We promise to always bring our passion and love for the trails as well as a healthy appetite for cheese curds and a solid IPA. We want to thank you for taking this journey with us. Aric W.

Episode #10- Turd'l Miller: "Man, I feel like a woman."

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 ...

Episode #9- Jim Skaggs: Race Directing and Enabling

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 h...

Episode #8 - Year End Review: Thank You!

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 ...

Episode #7- Brian Beckstead: Altra Footwear, Ultra Fishing and Yes- Running

We got lucky and caught up with Brian after locking him down between trips, running, being a family man and ultra fishing. He was kind enough to let us peek behind the curtain at Altra Footwear in Logan, Utah to see what they are up to. With a new "Smart shoe" ready to launch and a new apparel line with "the jacket every ultra runner should own" (which comes out 2/1)- we definitely felt lucky he penciled us in. He told us the story of how Zero Drop came to life and the exact moment he knew it wa...

The holiday season snuck up on you once again. Time is running out so we thought we would provide you with a small but important list of gift ideas for the runner in your life...or yourself. We cover everything from head to toe- shoes, jackets, shorts, nutrition and hydration just to name a few. And of course anytime we get in front of the mic shenanigans can ensue.

Episode #5- Ty Draney: Fat biking, Barkley and "Type 3 Fun"

Just like a race- when you don't get the result you want, you come back for more. That is what happened when we sat down with Ty a few months back and did a show with him. It did not come out how we wanted so we had our people get in touch with his people and we were lucky enough to book him again. I say we were lucky because Ty does it all- coaching, race directing, running, coaching, racing, traveling, teaching, did I say coaching? and of course a great family man. You will be hard pressed to ...

Episode #4- Jennilyn Eaton: Suffering is humorous.

With Studio 78 under the weather, we headed down to Salt Lake City to meet up with Jennilyn Eaton at Beans & Brews for some java and conversation. Luckily for us she had a small window in yet another busy day of being a mom, working at Park City Running Company training at Momentum and coming back from an injury. Early on we knew this was going to be a great show as she informed us of some major plans for 2016. The plan starts with trying to get into the Barkley Marathon and then follow that...

Episode #3- Tara Warren: That old quesadilla hangover

We caught up with Tara Warren at the 22nd street trailhead just a few days after completing her first 100 mile trail race- the Bear 100. Not only were her emotions still a little raw but so were her feet. We enjoyed listening to how she manages to train for a difficult 100 mile race while she raises her 3 boys with her ultra runner husband Bryce. Bear 100 may have been tough but pulling this show off with a guy on his lunch break bouncing some sweet tunes and devouring Taco Bell was no easy task...

Episode #2- Robert Kunz: It's a van party.

Wow, what a load of information! We met up with Robert and pulled him away from his duties as VP of Science & Technology at First Endurance. When Studio 78 rolled up to the trailhead at Wheeler Creek in Ogden, there was already a sweet VW van waiting. After trading some great stories about the van life we loaded into Studio 78 and got a lesson in nutrition. We encourage everyone to give this a listen. Show Notes The role of a guinea pig Tips on hydration & nutrition Simplifying your trai...

Episode #1- Scott Jaime: Keep it simple man.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Scott Jaime in Studio 78 as our first guest on the TrailManners podcast. We would like to think he drove from Colorado just for the show but in fact it was a Fantasy Football draft...go figure. He may not have shared his "sleeper" pick for the season but he shared plenty of great insight and stories from the trail.With Studio 78 parked at the Wasatch 100 start, it was bound to bring up fond memories from his early training and his first 100 mile race. We hope ...
