TrailManners

We are back with Jeff Hart and Part 2 of his training road/trail to Hardrock. Jeff has been having a small bout with some niggling injuries but he still has his sights set on Silverton. We take a good look into some of the mentail games our mind and body can play. Thanks goodness we were there to prescribe some IPA and Cheese curds! Thanks again Jeff- we are rooting for you!

Show Notes:

• How has training been?

Things over at the TrailManners Global HQ are getting crazy. So close to the first ever Ogden Trail Running Festival and we are all over the place. We want to thank everyone for all their support with not only the festival but also for the almost one and a half years of listening to the show. We do make a special announcement about some plans for later in 2017 and beyond- big stuff!

Show Notes:

• Recap Episode #81 w/Erik Storheim

One of the things we really look forward to is when we can get some guests on the show that have been around the scene for awhile. The stories, the changes and the evolution of the sport are fascinating. Erik has been doing ultras since 2005 and his race resume speaks for itself. We were pumped to get him on the show to talk a little bit about the sport and its evolution but also talk about his experience over the last 2 years of heading out to run the Barkley Marathons. 

Show Notes:

• Erik's history

We got some big news before we recorded the show so we went on location to Roosters Brewing Company in Ogden, Utah (again). Earlier in the day we got a message from our official brewer- Jacquie Wright, that out Trail Festival beer was ready for sample. We couldn't be hoppier (see what we did there). Jacquieis the first guest we have had join the Singletrack Session and after she headed back to work we covered more vital trail running news. Have a listen.

Episode #80 is loaded with some local brew, delicious deep fried cheese curds and a two-time guest: Melissa Solomon. If you remember we had Melissa first on for Episode #76 where she told us here amazing story into running and her new life. She let it slip out that she was running her first 100 mile race and we warned her she would need to come back on and give us play by play. Well, she agreed and thus we have another fun time sitting down with Melissa!

Show Notes:

• How bout them Deep Fried Cheese Curds?

Singletrack Session #34 is loaded! We start off with a contest to name Joel's new Volvo, follow that up with races, iTunes reviews, Cannabis debate and so much more. Listen and let us know your thoughts.

Jeff Hart is training for his first attempt at the Hardrock 100 and TrailManners is going to talk to him all the way up to and after the race. Part of a new series we will be doing is checking in with Jeff to see how his training is going, his mindset, goals, fears and all things associated with the race. If you have a question you want to ask for the next time we get together- shoot it over. 

Show Notes:

• Running history

Lots to talk about with a crazy weekend of racing. Barkley's took over social media and the Georgia Death Race wasn't far behind. Check out the show notes for more.

A message from the RD of The Barkley Marathons #bm100:

i wish i had never said 6 seconds...

gary had just come in after having run off course

i do, however, always record when runners come in,

so, when someone asked if he had gotten in before the limit;

i never expected the story to somehow become that he had missed the time limit by 6 seconds.

i hate it, because this tale perpetuates the myth that the barkley does not have a course.

the boston marathon has checkpoints.

that does not mean you are allowed to follow any route you choose between checkpoints.

now, the class with which gary handled this terrible disappoinment

but he did not miss the time limit by 6 seconds.

Our interview with Gina Lucrezi has been in the works for a few months and we finally got this rockstar on the mic! Gina’s a talented runner and when we look at her running career you’ll be surprised at her ability to compete at just about any distance: D3 NCAA 1500m indoor National Champion, USATF 10k trail National Champion, 5th (1st American Female) at the rugged CCC 100k in Chamonix France, 1st place Silver Rush 50 miler,   2nd place Leona Divide 50 miler, FKT on Mt Whitney, and this is just a smattering of her results, whew!

Our interview is broken up into 2 segments due to a dropped phone call. The first segment we discuss her bEAST coast roots, how she got into running, and her journey to the Wild West. The second half of the interview we dive into the story of the Trail Sisters and why ever female runner should have a “Trail Sister”.

We hope you enjoyed our interview with Gina and watch out for her this summer as she travels the USA in her new Sprinter spreading the Trail Sisters luv.
