Trailmanners

We have been fortunate to know Misty Alessandri for over 5 years and have enjoyed watching her grow on the trails. She has had her share of injuries and set backs but always faces them with an amazing attitude. In 2016 Misty not only ran the Pony Express 100 under 24 hours but came away as the female winner in a time of  23:18. We sit down with Misty and talk about her running background which started with a treadmill to her love for being in the mountians. Thank you Misty for chatting and reliving yur run in with the Bison...   SHOW NOTES: From treadmill to track to roads to trails Bison attack Pony Express 100- 1st Female Coming back from injuries Staying positive

It's not everyday we get a chance to sit down with someone like Jared Campbell. He is not only one of the most accomplished ultra runners around but a true ambassador of our sport. We touch briefly on his race resume (Barkley, Wasatch) but we really wanted to get into his upcomng event: RUFA or Running Up for Air. Air quality in Utah and especially the Salt Lake valley during the winter is...well let's just say- horrible. When Jared was training for Barkely a few years ago he wanted to make running something more than just about himself. After some thought and talking with others he came up with RUFA.  Please have listen and check out the links below for more information. We hope to help Jared fill his event on Febraury 11th to help raise more awareness to this issue. Whether you do the 6, 12 or 24 hour event- it is sure to be a grand time. It isn't just about the running though- you can volunteer, donate or help spread the word.  TrailManners would like to not only thank Jared for his time but also for all h

We hit a first at TrailManners and did our first 2 part show. While away for Thanksgiving, Aric sat down with Chad and Jeremy from Palmer Divide Running Company in Palmer Lake, Colorado. Chad pulled the bourbon from the filing cabinet and it was pretty much game on and for the next 2.5 hours we covered it all- From redneck triathlons to glitter canons, from glutenfreesingles.com to Colorado's Most Okayest Race team we left no stone unturned. Enjoy Part 1 and stayed tuned for Part 2- it is loaded with more laughs and a contest you are not gonna want to miss.   Show Notes: "Last Stop before Heaven" Loyal to the Land Why Palmer Lake?

We are always talking about different "tools" you can use to keep you running and performing strong. On this episode we headed to Stone Cold Cryotherapy and Aric got in the tank to see just how it works. Luckily he was wearing wool socks, neoprene booties and of course gloves.  Ty talked us through the process and we cannot wait to test it out even more when things ramp up again. We definitely recommend giving it a try. Thanks Ty for the session and for the time! Stone Cold Cryotherapy is going to be on our Christmas list for sure!

When you get a chance to talk to a LEGEND- you do it. We could listen to Roch Horton talk for days. He has so many amazing stories and he has seen it all in the trail and ultra running community.  With the growth of the sport we sit down and talk about the past, present and future- the good and the bad. As lovers of the trails and mountains we have an obligation to make sure we educate and advocate for a better future.  Thank you Roch for letting us pick your brain and we here at TrailManners are in support of "The Book"!

It was a pleasure to get to sit in the "stands" at the Speedgoat Croquet Court and talk to the legend, Karl Meltzer about his FKT on the AT. We knew he had already sat down with so many people and shows in the past that we mixed it up a bit and asked him questions from our listeners to spice it up.  We also were able to talk about the future of the SpeedGoat 50k and pick his brain on other trail running topics. He mentioned "something" he is planning with Redbull and we can't wait to hear more. Enjoy the show and don't forget about BOTH of the cool contests!

Training for your first 100 mile trail race can be tough. Breaking your foot 9 months before your first 100 mile trail race can be frustrating. Running your first 100 mile trail race can be a overwhelming. Running your way to a 26:35 in one of the worst Bear 100's in history can be legendary! When we heard Chelsea's story and her amazing accomplishment at this years Bear 100, we knew we had to get her on the show. Luck would have it and she agreed to sit down in Studio 78 to tell us her story. Congrats to Chelsea and all the people who toed the line at the Bear!
