Trailmanners

We got some big news before we recorded the show so we went on location to Roosters Brewing Company in Ogden, Utah (again). Earlier in the day we got a message from our official brewer- Jacquie Wright, that out Trail Festival beer was ready for sample. We couldn't be hoppier (see what we did there). Jacquieis the first guest we have had join the Singletrack Session and after she headed back to work we covered more vital trail running news. Have a listen.

Episode #80 is loaded with some local brew, delicious deep fried cheese curds and a two-time guest: Melissa Solomon. If you remember we had Melissa first on for Episode #76 where she told us here amazing story into running and her new life. She let it slip out that she was running her first 100 mile race and we warned her she would need to come back on and give us play by play. Well, she agreed and thus we have another fun time sitting down with Melissa! Show Notes: How bout them Deep Fried Cheese Curds? Zion 100 Toe Knuckles What's next?

Our interview with Gina Lucrezi has been in the works for a few months and we finally got this rockstar on the mic! Gina’s a talented runner and when we look at her running career you’ll be surprised at her ability to compete at just about any distance: D3 NCAA 1500m indoor National Champion, USATF 10k trail National Champion, 5th (1st American Female) at the rugged CCC 100k in Chamonix France, 1st place Silver Rush 50 miler,   2nd place Leona Divide 50 miler, FKT on Mt Whitney, and this is just a smattering of her results, whew!   Our interview is broken up into 2 segments due to a dropped phone call. The first segment we discuss her bEAST coast roots, how she got into running, and her journey to the Wild West. The second half of the interview we dive into the story of the Trail Sisters and why ever female runner should have a “Trail Sister”.   We hope you enjoyed our interview with Gina and watch out for her this summer as she travels the USA in her new Sprinter spreading the Trail Sisters luv.   Show Note

Melissa Solomon is amazing- it's just that simple; however, there is nothing simple about her journey. One of the biggest things we like about doing this podcast is the people we get to meet.

With the 25th running of the Chuckanut 50k happening this weekend we thought it would be a great time to talk to the amazing RD- Krissy Moehl.

Being in the final stages of preparation we cannot thank Krissy enough for taking the time to talk to us and give us all the details about the race and what the runners can expect. She has a couple other RD's helping and a load of volunteers to help make this event happen. Good Luck and we hope you all enjoy the show!

  Sushi then a Podcast....Yes please. We definitely did something a bit different with this episode. We met our guest- Kenzie Barlow and a grocery store...a "high end" grocery store (her words-ha).  We sat in some soft leather couches next to the fire place and it was game on!  Kenzie has been running, racing and coaching for years.

Brad has an amazing story that not many know about. In fact, we had no idea until we got into the show and he left us speechless. Brad has been a supporter of the show since the beginning and we have been quietly stalking his running ever since. He had a tremendous 2016 and took home the "Most Improved" award at the yearly Wasatch Mountain Wranglers forma as voted on by his peers. Brad is a down to earth guy and you can feel his love for trail running when he talks. It was such a pleasure to sit down with Brad at Bomber Studios to hear an inspiring story of his "road" to trail running.

Since Gabe was headed down to run RUFA we thought we better sit down with him to talk about cheese curds, Lander running scene and the invention of trail running. He was kind enough to meet us at our home away from home: Park City Running Company where Canice was nice enough to brew up a fresh pot of coffee.  Gabe is a remarkable person and runner. His love for the outdoors and the mountains really comes through when you talk to him about his love and passions. He had a solid 2016 with some impressive races but 2017 looks like it will be of epic proportions.  Enjoy the show and remember - listen to the end for another awesome contest!
