Trailmanners

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.

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!

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

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
