On this week’s episode of the Trail Network Podcast, Katie sits down with fellow co-host Hilary Yang for a much-needed catch-up. Hilary may have been MIA from the mic, but she’s been everywhere else—juggling training for the Hardrock 100, directing the new Mammoth 200-miler, producing storytelling projects, and traveling the globe.

They talk about:

• Behind the scenes of Hilary’s media role at Cocodona 250 (yes, including ramen brands and eucalyptus towels)

• The wild Korean hill repeats and air blasters

• Training on the go—through jetlag, film shoots, and family time

• The emotional relief of finally getting Mammoth 200 permits cleared

• How storytelling and racing go hand-in-hand

• What she’s learned from Cocodona that she’ll bring to the Mammoth 200

• And why gratitude is fueling this high-energy, high-output season

Whether you’re racing, volunteering, storytelling, or just trying to train through the chaos of life—this one’s for you.
