“Running's my first and always has been my main love. So let's just go all in with it and do it where I love the most, which is on the trails. And so far it's been working out pretty well.”

Heidi Frehlich loves the trails and she loves to compete. This passion for the sport has her working behind the scenes for Sinister Sports and trail running as a pro for Brooks. She recently won Slay the Dragon 50k and she’s training for Squamish 50 mile, as well as working behind the scenes getting the Sinister Sports season in full gear. She’s driven to succeed and hungry to win, but she also loves what the sport is all about. That’s why her entire life seems to revolve around the sport, and she’s excited to keep that going.

“I'm really working on building my name as an athlete. I'm pretty new to the game and pretty young and haven't quite had the chance to put my name, even toe the line at any of these big races yet. I'm excited to just kind of build those connections with everyone else out there and really integrate myself more into the international community.”

Heidi was so much fun to chat with. I had the pleasure of meeting her at the Crowsnest Pass screening of the Trail Running Film Festival, and I also got to see her at the Sinister 7 Relay race this past weekend. It’s so much fun to meet people in real life after having them on the show, so that was fantastic. I hope you enjoy the conversation we had as much as I did!

I enjoy the Naak products, even if the sauces took a few tries to grow on me. They get the job done and they don’t give me any issues, and isn’t that the point?
