Allie Ostrander is a pro runner from Seattle, WA. She has been a world-class athlete since high school, eventually going pro as a track and road runner after an illustrious career at Boise State University. Allie recently went through a hard moment in her career, struggling with an eating disorder, injury cycles, and loss of her main sponsor, Brooks. 

Allie recently signed with NNormal and will be transitioning to focus mostly on trail running. We talk about that new partnership, what Allie learned from eating disorder treatment, and her goals are for the future.

Luke Nelson and Nate Bender are trail runners and environmental advocates based in Idaho and Montana respectively. They recently took part in the Snowman Race in Bhutan -- a trail ultra marathon organized to bring awareness to the effects of climate change in the Himalaya. In this conversation, we discuss the intersection of trail running and climate action, Luke and Nate's experience on the trail in Bhutan, and what trail runners can do to take action in support of the places we recreate.
