Today we continue our rollout, sharing sessions from the 2026 edition of TrailCon. Recorded live on stage in front of a packed house, this is a conversation between Rich Roll and Katie Schide. Rich Roll is a pioneering media figure, author, endurance athlete, and host of the Rich Roll Podcast. Katie Schide is one of the greatest trail runners of all time. A Western States, UTMB, and Hardrock champion, Katie was voted as the 2024 and 2025 Trail Runner of the Year. In this conversation, Rich interviews Katie about her process, injury management, the mental side of her game, and generally what has made her so great. It was an honor to host both of them at TrailCon.
