Trailmanners

Jeff Hart is coming to us live from Silverton, Colorado- home of the Hardrock 100. Much like the race, this episode is raw and uncut. We even get a guest appearance from Mr. James Varner. We have been keeping up with Jeff on his preparations and training for Hardrock and we are finally here. This show is the last time we get to talk to Jeff until after the race. We cannot thank him enough for taking us on this journey. Jeff -Good Luck and Thank you but most of all we all want you to "KISS IT".

TrailManners super fan, Curtis Thompson, busted his wheel while volunteering at the 2017 RUFA and needed surgery to fix torn ligaments and tendons in his ankle. The long recovery meant his 2017 Wasatch 100 was out of the question as was most running for the summer. Curtis asked if we could do a show on the Psychology of Recovery and we're happy to make that happen! Dr. Chris Heilman from Mindset Coaching,  jumped on a call to answer Curtis' burning question...what is the optimal way to psychologically deal with an injury and what tools can we acquire and sharpen during the recovery process.   Show Notes: Honor the Present Make a Suffering Inventory Allow Recovery to Happen Mindfullness and Meditaiton Jar of Awesomeness Passion Statement

  With an uptick in trail usage we reached out to San Diego based ultra runner and founder of the Trail Initiative for some advice on being good stewards of the trails. The Trail Initiative was founded in March of 2017 to help clean, preserve, and restore the trails of Southern California. Michael's goal is to grow the Trail Initiative from a local chapter to a National organization with a chapter in each state. The Trail Initiative can be found on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetrailinitiative/   Show Notes: How Mike got into trail running and ultra running How the Trail Initiative started San Diego trail running culture Goals and the future of the Trail Initiative How can people get involved

Ask The Listeners Question From Natalie Sheffield Hey guys! I wanted to throw out a suggestion for the podcast. I recently had to back down my 50k to a half due to burnout. My problem was a fast buildup too soon. I'm always seeing people doing these epic runs on social media and I think that led to the fast build up that led to burnout. My thoughts were if they can do it , I can do it. I was wondering if you could do a newbie podcast on what to expect and how not to get caught up with what others are doing on social media. I think it's wonderful what people are accomplishing, but I think as a newbie you can get caught up with it and go out to hard. Social media does not showcase what it really takes to get to these high mileage points. To help answer Natalie's question we called up Coach Ty Draney and asked him for his sagely advice. Show Notes: Why transition from road marathon to trail ultra? What can you expect when making the transition? Slow down and walk. No REALLY it's fine to walk! Wet shorts and chaf

  At it's core, TrailManners Podcast is a medium for the average trail runner to share stories of discovery, growth, beer, and of course cheese curds. Man, do we have a story for you today! When I first heard that silky smooth Louisiana twang I knew we had a good guest, but did he have a story to match that gentlemen's drawl? Listen and enjoy as Logan Ledford spins a tale of growing up in Louisiana with water maccosians (that's a mean ass snake for those that don't know), grandma's fried chicken, and running highway over-passes for vert training. Stick around and find out how Logan made his way from the swamps to the Wasatch Front where he now is spearheading a #trashattack for the Wasatch Mountain Wranglers but we think he has more Branding power with #logansjunk.    Show Notes; Louisiana roots and home cookin' Logan's first Ultra Moving to Utah Utah wlecome committee, Logan's Car gets stolen Wrangler spat is an opportunity for action #logansjunk

Normalcy may be back. It has been an absolute busy month or so for TrailManners and while we are back to a bit of normalcy, we are full steam ahead on other fun and new projects. Enjoy STS #39.

The tables get turned as we get interviewed by Leia from our local newspaper (Ogden Standard-Examiner) in this edition of the Singletrack Session. Leia asks some fun questions and really makes us think. Thanks Leia and the Ogden Standard-Examiner for coming out and getting us even more out of our comfort zone. Show Notes: Anna Frost Episide #83 recap Strava week champs Ogden Trail Running Festival recap Interviewed by our local paper PC: Simon Hodgson: Syndney Opera House (Where did your feet take you?)

Studio 78 has seen its fair share of guests but Episode #83 brought Anna Frost to the Captain's chair for an absolutely memorable episode! Frosty is as real as they come. She makes everyone around her feel comfortable and special at the same time. She loves taking about "you" and talks about herself only when asked. Her presence is bigger than her posters and banners you see around the world and leaves people with a smile to equal it. It was an absolute honor and priveledge for us to spend a couple days with her. Thank you Anna- you are amazing! Show Notes: Frosty's background Now we are "besties" Balance Equality in trail running "Pole Cat Gang" Lightning Round

We are back with Jeff Hart and Part 2 of his training road/trail to Hardrock. Jeff has been having a small bout with some niggling injuries but he still has his sights set on Silverton.

Things over at the TrailManners Global HQ are getting crazy. So close to the first ever Ogden Trail Running Festival and we are all over the place.

One of the things we really look forward to is when we can get some guests on the show that have been around the scene for awhile. The stories, the changes and the evolution of the sport are fascinating. Erik has been doing ultras since 2005 and his race resume speaks for itself. We were pumped to get him on the show to talk a little bit about the sport and its evolution but also talk about his experience over the last 2 years of heading out to run the Barkley Marathons.  Show Notes: Erik's history Evolution of trail running "Control what you can control" Barkley Marathons MRC Blog
