Back on track, until the end, hazards with shoes and running holes in shorts are discussed in great length, unlike Mathias and Doug's shorts. A phone to the universe was found in Olympia's Priest Point Park, but is it art or vandalism? Maybe Toto has a song about that too? All of this and more, on everyone's beloved trail running podcast.

This week, we try to dive into deeper things than the political chaos engulfing the nation. How'd we do? We discuss trail running Tiktok, the new logo for ATRA, as well as discuss what they could do to embrace the future of the sport. Doug may be overly critical, while Mathias keeps the talk positive, discussing logos and recommends an amazing trail running film and asks for podcast recommendations.

Doug rolls over his 2020 race entries to this year and is amped up about running three back to back races at the Rut this coming summer. It still feels a million miles away and there are equal number of things to think about, COVID-19 protocols at public gatherings being just one of them, how to make Spätzle being the other.

Politics aside the new year begins with a renewed focus on nutrition and proper preparation before our runs. Oh, and of course we chat about Strava again. Just like a real running podcast.
