TrailManners

With the temperatures and snow falling we braved the conditions in Studio 78 with our trusty little space heater to bring you a fun show with a local legend- Phil Lowry. Phil has been around the trail scene since 1994 and is as core to the Wasatch front as anyone. We talked to him about the "next step" in his trail running adventures as he gave us a blow by blow of his Bigfoot 200 experience.  And...

THANK YOU! It has officially been 2 years since we launched our first podcast and we are extremely grateful for all the support from our listeners and friends. You are truly the best. We set out on this journey and we had no idea where it would lead but we knew what we wanted to bring to the table and we have checked the boxes that we held most important. We have had such an enjoyable time doing t...

Sylvia Greer has just been quietly working her way through some iconic races and big time achievements. We were excited that she agreed to sit down with a couple knuckle heads to talk about her Triple Crown experience. Sylvia is as nice as the come and mentally she is strong as hell. She got in Studio 78 and just blew our socks off as she recounted her journey through the Triple Crown on her way t...

 Studio 78 was packed and had standing room only for this one. Episode #103 features a few of the people behind the Palisades Ultra Trail Series or PUTS. We started to hear rumors about PUTS a few months back and basically got "teased" by photos and details before the official announcement. When we heard Jeff, Drew and Spencer were coming to Ogden we knew we needed to have them on the show. These...

Hardrock and Western States lotteries are open and we are giving away race entries to Beaverhead Endurance Runs as well as the Nordic Valey 7k.

Plus- the killer new TrailManners Boco Beanies are in and there are a few left. Have a great week everyone!  Show Notes: Episod...

 This show has been on the "To Do" list for quite some time. Here at TrailManners we have been talking about and staying more than confused about the 200 mile race distance. We sent Ben a message and he was all over it. Ben is such a great person and as you will hear, he is a tremendous athlete with unparalleled desire. We had a great time talking with Ben in Studio 78 and we are already planning...

When you get an opportunity to get a couple of the nicest fellas in the trail running community on at the same time- you take it. We met up with Brad & Logan for a little brunch at Roosters then we headed to Bomber Studios to talk about 2017 and the Bear 100. Both of these guys threw down and had amazing races. Thank you again to Brad & Logan for their time and the chance to learn a little more ab...

Happy Halloween everyone! Please be safe and don't accept candy from strangers in vans.....unless its Studio 78.

 Big week here at TrailManners and we have some exciting announcements about the Ogden Trail Running Festival and a new event: Nordic 7k. There were some major running accomplishments we cover this week as well as go back to talk a little bit more about our time spent with Jeff Browning from Episode #100. You definitely want to listen to this one and put a few dates on the calendar. Show Notes: Ep...

 Another big year for Jeff Browning is in the books and he just keeps getting fitter, faster, better and healthier- this is one guy who seems to have found the fountain of youth. We had Jeff on the once before and everytime we talk to him we learn a thing or two. From his stories about UTMB to his vast knowledge of OFM, we promise this show has something for everyone.  CONTEST ALERT: And one of Je...

 Joel got all dressed up for this weeks episode of the Singletrack Session. Why? Cause he likes to roll like that. This week we give some east coast love for a Hardrock qualifier, let you know some great races that just opened for 2018 and talk a little but about "Virtual races". Help us out here.... Have a great weekend and don't forget to get out and run. Show Notes: Episode #99 recap- Kelsy Bin...

 With her first full year of racing behind her, we catch up with 3rd place female finisher of the Bear 100- Kelsy Bingham. You may remember her first time on the show way back on Episode #25 when we covered her recovery from Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. Well Kelsy beat that and know she is covering the miles in the mountains with smiles and positivity. We cannot express enough how happy we are for Ke...

 The Bear and Beanies. We are happy and excited to announce that our Beanies are open for Pre-Sale. First 50 (well 48 cause we each get one) are up for grabs. They are selling fast and sure to be a hit. We also talk a lot about the Bear 100. It was a magical weekend here in Utah (and Idaho technically) as we got to see so many friends old and new at the incredible race. Congrats to all those who w...

Anytime we get a chance to talk to Turd'l we take it. There is never a dull moment so we need to take full advantage when we can. Not only do we enjoy having him on the show but we like to just sit in Studio 78 eating burritos, drinking beer and rockin puffies.  We want to encourage everyone to come to St George the first weekend in December for a celebration of trail running at the Capstone races...

It is already the end of September and we have seen some snow fly. It is a great time to remember to make sure you are prepared when heading to higher elevations. It can get nasty and change on a dime - stay safe and have the proper gear. This weekend is also the Bear 100 in Logan, Utah- one of our favorites. Good Luck to all those running. BEANIES....Beanies are coming- stay tuned.... Have a grea...

Our repeat champion, Luke Nelson, is back to fill us in on his 2017 activism , adventures and what he has in store for 2018. When we last spoke with Luke Nelson, in February of 2017, he was preparing for RUFA and hinted at some extraordinary adventure runs for the Summer of 2017 (Utah 13ers and Nolans). In this interview we learned that Luke and Jared Campbell set the record for the fastest traver...

 Another interesting week in the world of trail and ultra running. The Denver Post put out a great story that we hope everyone will read. Stay safe out there especially with the changing weather on those mountain peaks. Another FKT falls this week thanks to the uber talented Darcy Piceu. Big news comes from Steamboat as Run Rabbit Run announces some big changes and big money for 2018.  Have a grea...

2018 races are starting to open up and we dive deep into plans we are thinking for next year. Still so much up in the air between racing and adventure runs but things fill up fast these days. We recap an awesome weekend of racing and talk about Joel's birthday run in the Tetons. Plus- WTYFTY winner is announced. Have a great weekend everyone! Show Notes: Episode #96 Recap: Trevor Fuchs Joel's Birt...

The Wasatch 100 has another 2 time winner- Trevor Fuchs. We sit Trevor down in Studio 78 two days after another impressive win at the 2017 Wasatch 100. He pretty much ran at the front from the start and had a nearly flawless day. We cover the past year from working with a coach for the first time, running the inaugural Gib Wallace race (shameless plug) and getting married to his beautiful wife Tem...

Since all eyes were on Europe last week we figured we could start our show wrapping up the CCC and UTMB. Huge perfomances at both of those and a special shout out to Clare and Hayden for coming home with wins at CCC. UTMB seemed to have an upset - but was it really?  A couple of big FKT's fell and Aric got his Tenkara Rod - game on...FISH ON!   Show Notes Recap Episode #95: Sarah McCloskey CCC Res...

We are back with Episode #95 and Sarah McCloskey. Sarah epitomizes toughness and mental strength. Just by talking to her you can get a glimpse of why she is one hell of a mountain runner. The fact we lost our first show with her and she wasn't phased at all for the next try shows how she can take anything in stride and just keep moving. As she approaches another Wasatch 100 start we get to talk to...

Big weekend on tap with the running of UTMB. All eyes will be on Europe as some of the best ultra runners in the world battle it out for global domination- only real question is: How do Aric & Joel get over there for 2018? Hmmm..... We go over our predictions again and also go big with this weeks edition of Where Did Your Feet Take You- we have another winner and 5 runner-up prizes as well...jeepe...
