In the May episode of The Duluth Rundown, Tony and Mike mention lots of race results, and several upcoming races. Trail conditions are day-by-day if not hour-by-hour. Is it raining? Probably don’t go. Has it not rained for a few hours or days, and is it sunny and maybe windy? Chances are trails are in good shape!

Tony talks about the taper in this month’s Coach’s Corner segment, and Mike reviews a new shoe purchase with the Brooks Ghost Max. Tony is into gravel biking (as is Mike), and Mike mentioned gardening as a non-runny hobby as of late.

Finally, shout-outs: Lake Effect Running, the training group for a character-building triple crown hill loop in the rain, and local runner Michael Koppy completing the Cocodona 250 Miler.
