Episode #347: Preston Wood - Lotteries: Hardrock, Western, Bear and ideas

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 06:21:00 -0700

As promised we are back with Preston Wood for an early talk about the 2026 Hardrock 100 field but we also dive into lotteries in general. We throw some ideas back and forth and may have solved a Hardrock problem (or is it). We have so much respect for RD's and races but open conversation is also very good. We have fun, go deep into lotteries and best of all- we can all have opinions and get along.

Love to hear ideas....

PLUS, love to hear your race thoughts for Aric!

When Jim Skaggs came to Utah I am sure he had no idea the impact he would make and the legacy he would leave. It's been 20 years since the first running of the Buffalo Run on Antelope Island and this past weekend Jim packed his trailer for the final time.

We sit down with Jim and to hear the stories of so many events that he directed: Buffalo Run, Logan Peak, Harriman, Antelope Island Fall Classic, Frary Peak Hill Climb and others. The stories will turn to legends and the friendships will remain.

Thank you Jim and Karen Skaggs for all you have done here in our trail community here and the trail community everywhere.

Make sure you listen to the end as we have some special memories shared by lives that were touched.

There was only one option for TrailManners on not only who do interview for #300 but also to start off the re-launch. We looked no further than the legend himself- Joel Hatch.

His years in not only the outdoor industry but trail running help us wrap our heads around the growth of the sport. Of course, we take a trip down memory lane but we also talk trials and strength training.

I would never bet against Garth. We first met Garth through the TrailManners podcast and some time later heard about his story. To call it inspiring would be an understatement. Garth went from 400+ pounds to marathon to ultra is a very short time. Along that way he lost over 200 pounds and set an example to so many around him. Garth- you are amazing and we are lucky to know you. Thanks for taking the time to sit down and talk to us about your journey. I cannot wait to see you conquer more goals!

Crazy Mother Runners have had a very large following over the past 3 years on social media encouraging others to get outside and take part in the trails. They have helped tranform lives and certain stigmas. We were fortunate enough to talk Sheralyn Traher into jumping behind the mic in Studio 78 and tell us about the history of CMR and get a glimpse into what makes it tic. And of course we couldn't let her escape without pinning her down on a race or 2.

We may not have completed the half but we did half of the half and got to chat with one of the greats. Dana is a true legend and an absolutely amazing person. We are already looking forward to getting him back on the show.

Thank you Dana!....Oh and did we mention he is no relation to Turd'l?

We have known Bryce for many years and we absolutely consider him a friend. His story is very special and we wanted to share just a bit of it on the show. You need to understand that a podcast like this can really last a couple days but we tried to hit some big topics and then just let Bryce go. TrailManners is very much into to the history of the sport -as much as we are into beer and cheese curds.

Thank you Bryce for taking the time to chat and thank you for helping make the sport of trail running what it is today. We are grateful for all you have done. Good Luck and we hope to sit down with you again!

Tue, 28 Nov 2017 01:00:00 -0700

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 as we like to do with the "trail veterans", we asked him his thoughts on the evolution of trail running. Thank you Phil for taking the time to sit down with us and also thank you for all you have done.

She got in Studio 78 and just blew our socks off as she recounted her journey through the Triple Crown on her way to a combined 1st place finish for the ladies.

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 guys are incredible and bring so much passion to what they do.

We really encourage you to head over to their website and take a look and what they are putting on. This race is for the whole family and the runner experience should be off the charts!

We had a great time talking with Ben in Studio 78 and we are already planning on getting him back on again.

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 Jeff's sponsors- UltrAspire- has been kind enough to send over a Velocity pack for us to giveaway. The Velocity pack came from a napkin that Jeff started to skept out a few years back.

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 Kelsy and her family and all they have done.

Congrats on an amazing 2017! We can't wait to see what 2018 brings.

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.

Have a great week and thanks for your support!

Tue, 26 Sep 2017 02:00:00 -0600

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 traverse of Utah’s 13ers and that they had a successful attempt at Nolans but did come up a bit short on the Nolans FKT.

We wrap up the interview talking about the Bear 100, running Hardrock 100 or even maybe Barkley’s Marathon (yikes!), and the new race distances for the 2018 SMUT.

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 Tempest. Hanging out with Trevor is a blast and you can just see the love he has for trail running and the local trail community when he talks. After a little down time, Trevor will get right back on it for his trip to Hawaii in January 2018 for the running of the HURT 100....Good Luck!

Thank you Trevor for taking the time to talk and thank you for the reminder to make sure we have fun out there on the trails.

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 her about her thoughts on crew, pacing and all things 100 related. We learned a lot from our guest and we can bet you can to. Thank you Sarah for not just sitting down with us but for being an amazing trail mentor to so many.

Listening to Amy talk about 5 Peaks had us all ready to head up north and run. This year they are launching a new race that looks and sounds spectacular- Round the Cape in Cape Chignecto, Nova Scotia.

We have been following Jeff Hart for the past 5 months as he prepared for the Hardrcok 100 and he was kind enough to swing by Ogden to jump into Studio 78 to give us a solid recap of the race. For Jeff it was the pinnacle of his trail running life and as he puts the race into words- you can see and hear the emotion as he recaps the journey.

Thank you Jeff for taking us along and Congrats on not only the Hardrock finish but also the engagement to Jen. You are a class act and someone who continues to inspire. On behalf of TrailManners and our listeners- we are proud to call you our friend!

Tue, 27 Jun 2017 02:00:00 -0600

TrailManners super fan, Curtis Thompson, busted his wheel while volunteering at the 2017 RUFA and needed surgery to fix torn ligaments and tendons in his ankle. The long recovery meant his 2017 Wasatch 100 was out of the question as was most running for the summer. Curtis asked if we could do a show on the Psychology of Recovery and we're happy to make that happen!

Dr. Chris Heilman from Mindset Coaching, jumped on a call to answer Curtis' burning question...what is the optimal way to psychologically deal with an injury and what tools can we acquire and sharpen during the recovery process.

Tue, 20 Jun 2017 02:00:00 -0600

With an uptick in trail usage we reached out to San Diego based ultra runner and founder of the Trail Initiative for some advice on being good stewards of the trails.

The Trail Initiative was founded in March of 2017 to help clean, preserve, and restore the trails of Southern California. Michael's goal is to grow the Trail Initiative from a local chapter to a National organization with a chapter in each state.

Episode #87- Ty Draney: Transition from Road running to Trail running

Tue, 13 Jun 2017 02:00:00 -0600

Ask The Listeners Question From Natalie Sheffield Hey guys! I wanted to throw out a suggestion for the podcast. I recently had to back down my 50k to a half due to burnout. My problem was a fast buildup too soon. I'm always seeing people doing these epic runs on social media and I think that led to the fast build up that led to burnout. My thoughts were if they can do it , I can do it. I was wondering if you could do a newbie podcast on what to expect and how not to get caught up with what others are doing on social media. I think it's wonderful what people are accomplishing, but I think as a newbie you can get caught up with it and go out to hard. Social media does not showcase what it really takes to get to these high mileage points.

To help answer Natalie's question we called up Coach Ty Draney and asked him for his sagely advice.

Show Notes:

Why transition from road marathon to trail ultra?
What can you expect when making the transition?

Episode #84- Logan Ledford: Fried Chicken To Clean Trail Advocate

Tue, 23 May 2017 02:00:00 -0600

At it's core, TrailManners Podcast is a medium for the average trail runner to share stories of discovery, growth, beer, and of course cheese curds. Man, do we have a story for you today!

When I first heard that silky smooth Louisiana twang I knew we had a good guest, but did he have a story to match that gentlemen's drawl? Listen and enjoy as Logan Ledford spins a tale of growing up in Louisiana with water maccosians (that's a mean ass snake for those that don't know), grandma's fried chicken, and running highway over-passes for vert training. Stick around and find out how Logan made his way from the swamps to the Wasatch Front where he now is spearheading a #trashattack for the Wasatch Mountain Wranglers but we think he has more Branding power with #logansjunk.

Studio 78 has seen its fair share of guests but Episode #83 brought Anna Frost to the Captain's chair for an absolutely memorable episode! Frosty is as real as they come. She makes everyone around her feel comfortable and special at the same time. She loves taking about "you" and talks about herself only when asked. Her presence is bigger than her posters and banners you see around the world and leaves people with a smile to equal it. It was an absolute honor and priveledge for us to spend a couple days with her. Thank you Anna- you are amazing!

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.

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
and missing the last 2 miles of the barkley.
that is, of course, not a finish.

i do, however, always record when runners come in,
whether they are finishing a loop, or not.
so, i had looked at the watch,
even tho there was no possibility that he would be counted as a finisher.

so, when someone asked if he had gotten in before the limit;
i foolishly answered.

i never expected the story to somehow become that he had missed the time limit by 6 seconds.
he failed to complete the course by 2 miles.
the time, in that situation, is meaningless.

i hate it, because this tale perpetuates the myth that the barkley does not have a course.
the barkley is a footrace.
it is not an orienteering contest,
nor a scavenger hunt.
the books are nothing more than unmanned checkpoints.

the boston marathon has checkpoints.
and you have to show up at all of them or you can be disqualified...

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
at the end of a truly magnificent performance...
that was exceptional,
and is, in and of itself, a remarkable achievement.

but he did not miss the time limit by 6 seconds.
he failed to complete the barkley by 2 miles.

Episode #78- Gina Lucrezi: East Coast All American => Trail Sisters

Tue, 04 Apr 2017 02:00:00 -0600

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.

Kenzie has been running, racing and coaching for years. When she talks you can just see the joy they bring her. She is passionate about running and gathering more and more knowledge on the stuff. We covered a bit of everything from Snow Snorkelers to Dirty Dirty Rap. If you don't believe that- you better have a listen.

Brad has an amazing story that not many know about. In fact, we had no idea until we got into the show and he left us speechless. Brad has been a supporter of the show since the beginning and we have been quietly stalking his running ever since. He had a tremendous 2016 and took home the "Most Improved" award at the yearly Wasatch Mountain Wranglers forma as voted on by his peers. Brad is a down to earth guy and you can feel his love for trail running when he talks. It was such a pleasure to sit down with Brad at Bomber Studios to hear an inspiring story of his "road" to trail running.

He was kind enough to meet us at our home away from home: Park City Running Company where Canice was nice enough to brew up a fresh pot of coffee.

Gabe is a remarkable person and runner. His love for the outdoors and the mountains really comes through when you talk to him about his love and passions. He had a solid 2016 with some impressive races but 2017 looks like it will be of epic proportions.

In episode #71 of the TrailManners podcast we meet Monica DeVreese. Monica is co-owner of Santa Barbara Running Company and is the co-founder of running apparel start-up Rabbit. We dive into Monica's running roots as a speedy high schooler to a sub 3-hour marathoner, and 100 miler finisher at the beautiful Cascade Crest 100. Monica has over 20 years experience in the run industry from brand development and product manager to store owner.

We were very excited to hear the story behind the Rabbit brand and are huge supporters of made in the USA running apparel. Monica was a fun and engaging guest who will be back on the show in May just before Rabbit launches the new Trail Running clothing line.

Episode #70- And She's Dope Too- Lady Wild Film Festival

Tue, 07 Feb 2017 01:00:00 -0700

We were super excited to get an invitation from And She's Dope Too (ASDT) to come and do a show at the Inaugural "Lady Wild Film Fest" here in Ogden, UT. The film fest showcased both feature length and short films with a strong female lead of characters. The purpose of the festival is to rally around ladies in film who are pushing the boundaries of understanding, adventure and sisterhood in their daily lives.

ASDT is an amazing group of people and we were lucky to sit down with 4 of them: Julie Cornelius, Francesca Weikert (Franny), Shonny Vanlandingham and Rachel Pohl... and of course Fritz- the world class running weiner dog. During these interviews we talked about their upcoming trip to Nepal and all the good things they will be doing with the Ladies Mountain League (LML).

Take some time to head over to the links in the show note and check it out.

We hope you all enjoy the show!

Episode #69- Ty Draney & Debbie Farka: DNF and Donut Eating Contest

Tue, 31 Jan 2017 01:00:00 -0700

We sure love it when some of our favorite people come back for another podcast. On this trip down, Ty hit the trails with Debbie Farka (returning guest) and the TrailManners crew on a magical snowy run and we must say his bionic leg is working great! After the run we tried and tried to get Joel's truck unstuck from the big snowfall but to no avail and we had to return later for a go.

During the show we talked about Ty's recovery, his amazing race in Afton and we all chimed in on the subject of DNF's. The show was full of fun and we threw in a donut eating contest to spice things up. Unfortuantely we ran out of donuts but we never did run out of laughs. The great part of this show is Ty's "Neck Meat" was on point!

Enjoy the show!

Tue, 10 Jan 2017 01:00:00 -0700

We have been fortunate to know Misty Alessandri for over 5 years and have enjoyed watching her grow on the trails. She has had her share of injuries and set backs but always faces them with an amazing attitude. In 2016 Misty not only ran the Pony Express 100 under 24 hours but came away as the female winner in a time of 23:18. We sit down with Misty and talk about her running background which started with a treadmill to her love for being in the mountians. Thank you Misty for chatting and reliving yur run in with the Bison...

Episode #64- Jared Campbell: RUFA

Tue, 20 Dec 2016 03:00:00 -0700

It's not everyday we get a chance to sit down with someone like Jared Campbell. He is not only one of the most accomplished ultra runners around but a true ambassador of our sport. We touch briefly on his race resume (Barkley, Wasatch) but we really wanted to get into his upcomng event: RUFA or Running Up for Air. Air quality in Utah and especially the Salt Lake valley during the winter is...well let's just say- horrible. When Jared was training for Barkely a few years ago he wanted to make running something more than just about himself. After some thought and talking with others he came up with RUFA.

Please have listen and check out the links below for more information. We hope to help Jared fill his event on Febraury 11th to help raise more awareness to this issue. Whether you do the 6, 12 or 24 hour event- it is sure to be a grand time. It isn't just about the running though- you can volunteer, donate or help spread the word.

TrailManners would like to not only thank Jared for his time but also for all he is doing.

We knew he had already sat down with so many people and shows in the past that we mixed it up a bit and asked him questions from our listeners to spice it up. We also were able to talk about the future of the SpeedGoat 50k and pick his brain on other trail running topics. He mentioned "something" he is planning with Redbull and we can't wait to hear more.

We sat down with Trevor as he told the story of how he went on to win the Wasatch 100 by 3 seconds. Thanks Trevor, we are sure we will see you on the trails.

Tue, 27 Sep 2016 02:00:00 -0600

With his long summer of travel and running finally winding down, we caught up with Tommy "Back-half" Barlow to get all the details. He became the 282nd person to officially complete the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning and the 18th person from Utah to do it. It got off to a rocky start with a injury that needed some last minute TLC before the long drive to Western but Tommy not only got his finish but he did it under 24 hours. He then followed that up with a couple sub 24's at Vermont and Leadville before tackling his home course in the Wasatch mountains. Thanks to Tommy "Back-half" Barlow for hanging out with the TrailManners crew.

We met up with Conor Wright, Manager of the AmerSport Factory Outlet, to talk about the big tent sale that kicks off on Friday September 23rd. Conor tells us about all the deals and what you can expect- you don't want to miss this if you are in the area. Then Conor was kind enough to donate a Suunto Ambit3 Vertical to giveaway in a contest: Have a listen or details. Next we met up with Josh Korn and Mike Ambrose- these dudes are fast. We talked shop and had just a little fun ...cause that's what we do. We are excited to see what Salomon has planned of 2017 and so should you. Have a listen and make sure you enter the contest.

We are so excited to launch Episode #50...yes 50- we can barely believe it. We wanted a great guest when we hit this milestone and well- it happened. Cory Reese was in town and we threw him in Studio 78 to talk about everything he has been up to: 2 weeks removed from finishing Badwater, 1 week into a Best Selling book launch and less than 24 hours after pacing at Wasatch, Cory made the time to talk to TrailManners.

Once we did the 2000' climb in the heat of the day we crammed into Studio78 and gave him a microphone and the shenanigans were underway- as well as the sweet scent of man. We talk about his year as well as a cool race he is starting down in Southern Utah.

Part 2 of our UltrAspire house shows we sat down with Jason Poole and Charles Corfield. These 2 guys have done it all! Jason has been to Barkley 7 TIMES, Hardrock, Leadville, UTMB, 2 time National Orienteering champion and many more- not to mention Joel was in love with Jason's hair. Charles has run over 100 ultras, Everest, the Himalayas and "geezed" a ton of runners- in his words. They both add a lot of knowledge and know how to Bryce's designs at UltrAspire.
We not only want to thank all the UltrAspire athletes for the past 2 episodes but a special thanks goes out to Bryce, Melanie, Tina and the entire UltrAspire family.

When we got the opportunity to go to the UltrAspire house during Outdoor Retailers- we jumped. It was truly an all-star line up of not only amazing athletes but absolutely remarkable people. The format was different and we had to be on our toes after recording 6 shows earlier in the day. Our first podcast features Bree Lambert and Ian Sharman. Bree was gearing up for a run at Tahoe 50 and Ian was headed back to the Leadville 100 (Ian went on to win...again). We talked about the sport of trail running, coaching and yes some racing as well. Take some time and head over to their websites to have an more in-depth look as well as see if they may be the right coach for you!

Wed, 17 Aug 2016 02:00:00 -0600

This guy doesn't really need much introduction so we will dive right into it. When we put Bryon behind the mic we had a few ideas what we wanted to discuss but we ended up everywhere. We had an amazing time talking about so many topics and stories but we thought we should put him on the spot with a few tougher questions. Also we have a contest in play for the new book; Where the Road Ends by Meghan & Bryon. Stay tuned to the end of the podcast- we have 3 to give away.
Thanks to Bryon and Meghan and their entire team at iRunFar for all they have done to the trail community over the last 8+ years.

To kick off our Outdoor Retailers Show Series we met up with Hayden Hawks. The last few months have been a whirlwind for Hayden as he appeared to come out of nowhere to smack the trail running world upside the head but as we talk to Hayden we find he has been setting these goals for himself for quite awhile.

Tue, 26 Jul 2016 02:00:00 -0600

There are so many amazing and unique stories in running. When we had a chance to talk to Dom about his running career and philosophy, we knew we had to jump right on it. Dom talked about some interesting points when it comes to his style of training and racing- from nutrition and hydration to heart rate training. Since he is a graduate from Oxford and MIT we just sat back and took notes. He mentioned ultra running as the "wild west" of training and we couldn't agree more. Thanks Dom for an unforgettable show.

Tue, 19 Jul 2016 02:00:00 -0600

We headed back to our home away from home in Park City and met up with guest Brian Tolbert at Park City Running Company. Right when we walked in the door we got the first real life glimpse on the "power- stache". Mr. Tolbert is one on the good ones in the sport. He is a great guy and just easy to sit and chat with. Brian started in with a little background of his bike racing life until the switch over to running the trail. He may be a little newer to trail racing but he has some super impressive results. He takes us on a race by race breakdown as well as what's ahead. Thanks again to Canice and Park City Running Company and of course Brian "power-stache" Tolbert.

Tue, 28 Jun 2016 02:00:00 -0600

With all the questions we have been getting in regards to coaching we thought we would bring someone on that knew firsthand. Debbie has never been coached but in January of this year that changed. She talks about the process she has gone through and how it has positively impacted not just her running but her life. As the interview goes on you can hear the excitement in her voice as she gets closer to her "A" race in September. Thanks Debbie for taking the time to sit down with TrailManners. Enjoy the show!

Tue, 21 Jun 2016 02:00:00 -0600

It is always fun when you can bring a guest back for a second time. Just a couple days after her Bighorn 100 mile race Tara Warren agreed to be back on the show. The first time we had Tara on it wasn't long after her first 100 mile race- The Bear 100. 9 months later she took on the Bighorn and PR'd by over 6 hours- going 28:48 for a woman's top 10 finish.

We talk to Tara about things she learned, whats she has been up to as well as what it is like to be the proud parent of a high school National Champion track athlete and new record holder in the 4x1mile relay. We also talk about testing out some new UltrAspire gear, crazy animal attacks and we want to know your thoughts on the Western States 100 this weekend. Sit back relax and enjoy another episode of TrailManners....and as always THANK YOU for your support.

Episode #33- Luke Nelson: With Whom Lies Responsibility

Tue, 14 Jun 2016 02:00:00 -0600

With all the buzz around a recent article put out by iRunFar written by Luke Nelson we knew we had to get him on again. Unfortunately we had to do it via Google Hangouts so the sound isn't what we hoped it would be. As we still work on dialing that in- the info we talk about with Luke needs to be heard. You can head over to iRunFar and read the article HERE. With the growth of our sport and more and more people getting out to enjoy the backcountry- Luke's article should make us all stop and think. We would love to hear your comments and views. We also planted a seed on a great idea we had: Backcountry Survival weekend by Luke Nelson. I can't wait- :)

The heat and race took its toll so after about an hour of sitting around trying to regroup we called it and started the drive back home.

Tue, 24 May 2016 02:00:00 -0600

Episode 30 was a blast. We had the pleasure of having Eric Johnson on the show and he provided us with some great insight. Eric is a truly remarkable person and amazing runner. He ran his first Wasatch 100 in 1992 and then took 10 years off before completing it 10 more times and countless other races. This year he ran the Iditarod 1000....yes 1000 miles on the Iditarod course in Alaska. He hit the start line with 5 other people and finished in 26 days 18 hours and 49 minutes. We talk about running, racing and life. Thank you Eric and we are very excited to get you back on the show.

Episode #29- Matt Trappe & a Contest!

Tue, 17 May 2016 02:00:00 -0600

We had a great chance to get Matt on the schedule via Google Hangouts to talk to him about his amazing films. Although we need to still do some tweaking to the process, we think Matt sounded great. His first to films are incredible, first- Running the Edge: The Colorado Trail and now the newly released- Kissing the Rock. He does such an amazing job or telling these stories and allowing the viewer an inside look to not just the characters but the mystique surrounding them. We encourage everyone to not just watch them both but schedule a showing in your area. Matt mentions his next project and we can't wait to get him back on the show as it draws near.

CONTEST ALERT: If Matt did a film about TrailManners- what should it be called? Submit your answers via our Facebook page for a chance to win a TrailManners Visor or hat of your choice! Aric & Joel will pick the winner and announce it on an upcoming show. Contest ends Wednesday May 25th.

Tue, 05 Apr 2016 02:00:00 -0600

Here on the TrailManners podcast we seem to always be talking about "our guy"- you know the one that helps keep our body working and on the trails. Well we booked some time for Nate to join us to talk about what he does and why we need it. Nate is our unicorn, the almost mystical person who people love but decide not to drop the name too much so "our guy" isn't to busy for us. He is no stranger to athletes- he was once a semi-pro football player and has worked on olympians, collegiate stars, key local athletes and of course the running community. He has been seen at the Hardrock 100, Wasatch 100, Bear 100 and the Buffalo Run to name a few. We all need "our guy" or "our gal" to help us reach our goals and have a healthy life. We would love to hear who you have in your area so send us a message and we can pass it along.
Enjoy the show everyone and THANK YOU for supporting us.

Episode #25- Kelsy Bingham

Tue, 29 Mar 2016 02:00:00 -0600

It has been pretty easy to start a show saying we have a special guest but this episode reached a new level. Friend and local runner Kelsy Bingham has met challenges head on- NCAA Division I women basketball- Sweet 16, pro cycling, motherhood and being a new trail runner but less than 5 months ago she found out she had a rare form of cancer and a new challenge to take on. We see so much negativity and heart ache everyday so being able to sit down with Kelsy and have her tell us her story is so inspiring. We knew her story but after we walked away from this show we were in awe. She is as tough as they come and as humble as you can be. Kelsey, thank you for sharing this with us and we look forward to sharing the trails with you soon- you are amazing!

Amy came down from Great Falls, MT to run her 1st ever 50 mile trail race. Soon as she finished she came on over and sat down for a show that was full of laughs. Our 4th show from the island will not disappoint. Thanks Amy for putting up with us and good luck in your future endeavors.

Tue, 15 Mar 2016 02:00:00 -0600

We had an amazing time getting together at Park City Running Company with Suzanne Lewis. She embodies what the trail community is about and we are already looking forward to our next show with her. She is not only a rockstar runner but also a dietician and nutritionist. She shares her secrets and educates us along the way. After you listen to the show, be sure to email us some questions that we will jot down and cover next time we have her on. Thanks again Suzanne and good luck at Western States!

Episode #18- Bonus show: No Pace, No Crew- What do I do?

Thu, 10 Mar 2016 01:00:00 -0700

Dude- BONUS! Yep- we are throwing out a bonus show. There is so much happening we had to launch an extra one. The past couple shows we discussed pacing and crewing so Episode #18 dives into- No Pace, No Crew. We don't want to spoil the show with a lot of text- have a listen and let us know what you think.

Episode #17- Crewing a race

Tue, 08 Mar 2016 00:00:00 -0700

We are BACK IN THE BUS- Studio 78 never felt so good. The bus braved the rain and pulled into the Beus Trailhead in beautiful Ogden, Utah for a fun show. After we cover some of the basics we got right after it. Special guest- Crew Master/Studio78 repairman and all around good guy Lane Farka joined us to cover the ins and outs of crewing. Last week we covered pacing so the next logical step would be the best way to crew your runner. Although there is no "perfect" way to do it- we try to discuss the things that can make it a success. Being a part of a crew means you are part foot doctor, treasure map reader, nutritionist, cab dancer, motivational speaker, time manager and responsible friend. It may not all be roses and rainbows but to see your runner reach their goal is priceless. Don't forget to leave a reply on Facebook for a chance to win a free entry into the Beaverhead 100k or 50k. Also, don't forget to share the show and invite your friends to listen! And lastly- make sure you come by and say HELLO at the Antelope Island races- Studio 78 will be there and we we be doing some interviews.

Episode #16- Pacing and another TM contest

Mon, 29 Feb 2016 23:00:00 -0700

After we catch up on some local weekly news we jump right into a topic that is dear to our hearts- pacing. Now pacing a trail/ultra race is a totally different ball game than pacing at a road race. How do you select a pacer? What makes a good pacer? What are a pacers duties? Pacing pros and cons? Pacer preparations? Do you need a pacer? Is there pacing pressure? Pacer gifts? Car drops? We dive into all these topics and hope to answer some questions and entertain you at the same time. Make sure you listen to the end so you can jump in and participate in the next TM contest. We look forward to hearing those great pacer stories! Thanks for listening...enjoy!

Tue, 23 Feb 2016 01:00:00 -0700

Did you miss us? We sure missed you. After an amazing trip to DC we are back and firing on all cylinders. We thought we would start by catching up on a few race results from Moab and Black Canyon. A couple early season races in amazing places. Congrats to those who punched tickets to the "big dance"- Western States 100 and all those who got out. We had to take a few minutes to give a huge thanks and shout out to Mr. Jim Skaggs from Buffalo Run Adventures for all his support and help through the years. The Buffalo Run is fast approaching and registration closes on February 29th. Don't put it off any longer- register! The island is a magical place to run and the finish line party is crazy fun- plus you can get some amazing Buffalo Stew. We close it out with some tips from our very own Joel Hatch on strength training. He throws out some great advice and helps answer a few questions to get started. Thanks again for listening and don't forget to visit the site soon for some great TrailManners gear!

Episode #14- Wasatch 100, Western States and a loss to the community

Tue, 09 Feb 2016 01:00:00 -0700

When trouble hits the trail community people really step up. We had to say goodbye to yet another amazing person. It is humbling and inspiring to see so many people ready to do whatever is needed to help. We feel fortunate to be associated with so many people and groups and see and hear what they are willing to do. RIP Stephen Jones and condolences to your family.Western States steps up big time and possibly sets a trend for racing, testing and PED's.Wasatch 100 held their lottery and our man Turd'l Miller finally got the call- time to run Turd'l!Again- thanks for listening and don't forget to share us and invite all your friends to listen.

Episode #11- Luke Nelson: "You can do more than you think you can."

Tue, 19 Jan 2016 01:00:00 -0700

PODCAST note: There is a SMUT race contest with this episode. That's right- a free entry into the distance of your choice for Scout Mountain Ultra but that's not all- you will also receive a Patagonia hat AND shirt from the race. Make sure to listen to find out all the details..
With the Outdoor Retailers Show showing up in SLC, UT we knew we had to score a few high quality shows. The opportunity to throw a mic at Luke Nelson was a no brainer. Not only is he one of those people that you want to be around but he makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Luke grew up in the mountains but it wasn't until a dare to run a marathon got him fired up about running and the rest is history. Luke was dared to sign up a week before a local marathon (with no training) and he obliged. He had about a week to get ready so he started training. A few days after he registered he got in a 3 mile training run but that left his legs a bit tired and sore. In true runner fashion he decided to taper after those 3 miles and let the legs rest. A couple days after that he raced that marathon and finished in 3:10 and third in his age group- he was hooked. Luke has traveled all over the world running and racing but calls Pocatello, Idaho his home. He is no stranger to adventure runs and as he says "there is always something in the cooker".Luke just finished up one of those runs with partner in crime- Ty Draney. They seem to always come up with "very bad ideas" and laugh to tell about it. 2016 is a big year for Luke, he has retained a coach and is gearing up for the Sky Running World Extreme series in Europe. We had a great time chatting with Luke and we thank him for all he has done for the sport.

Episode #10- Turd'l Miller: "Man, I feel like a woman."

Tue, 12 Jan 2016 01:00:00 -0700

If you have ever been to a Ultra Adventure race, you most likely came across Turdl Miller. He is an all around good guy and let's face it- he is pretty darn funny too. Turdl took some time from Outdoor Retailers in SLC, UT to invite us into his 1989 VW Bus for a very memorable show.
We discussed his role at Ultra Adventures as well as his 2016 race schedule. TrailManners found out Turdl has put in for the 2016 Wasatch 100 and we hope the lottery gods #LetTurdlRun! We received some great insight into the VanLife from a seasoned pro and walked away enlightened.We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it.

Episode #9- Jim Skaggs: Race Directing and Enabling

Tue, 05 Jan 2016 01:00:00 -0700

It's a New Year and here at TrailManners we are off and running. And we thought we would kick it off with a local legend, awesome RD and all around great guy- Jim Skaggs.Jim has been a solid presence in the Wasatch Mountains since they formed. He has done so much for the trail and ultra running community in Utah and we wanted to know more about him. He started the Buffalo Run with a little over 100 runners and now as he exceeds 800 he still hasn't lost that small race, home town feel. With his home brew and amazing wife Karen (the best stew cook this side of the Mississippi) they make sure all the runners have a great time before and after the race. You would be hard pressed to find a chink in his armor other than the fact he doesn't like IPA's. Jim not only puts on incredible races but he gets out and performs at the best of them too. He is a Grand Slammer and throws in the occasional 5k for fun. He is well versed in the art of racing- from timed runs on a flat track to going sub 30 at Wasatch. We were excited to sit down with Jim and ask him the hard questions....or something like that.

Head on over to Buffalo Run Adventures and see what all the hoopla is about!

Well folks, 2015 is already coming to an end and we cannot thank you all enough for your support. We have enjoyed bringing TrailManners to life and we absolutely could not have done it without you.

Episode #7- Brian Beckstead: Altra Footwear, Ultra Fishing and Yes- Running

Tue, 22 Dec 2015 01:00:00 -0700

We got lucky and caught up with Brian after locking him down between trips, running, being a family man and ultra fishing. He was kind enough to let us peek behind the curtain at Altra Footwear in Logan, Utah to see what they are up to. With a new "Smart shoe" ready to launch and a new apparel line with "the jacket every ultra runner should own" (which comes out 2/1)- we definitely felt lucky he penciled us in. He told us the story of how Zero Drop came to life and the exact moment he knew it was going to be huge.We then got him out of his work mode and made him spill the beans on his running crusades and hobbies. We want to thank Brian and Altra for spending some time with us and we truly hope you enjoy the show.

Episode #5- Ty Draney: Fat biking, Barkley and "Type 3 Fun"

Tue, 08 Dec 2015 06:59:23 -0700

Just like a race- when you don't get the result you want, you come back for more. That is what happened when we sat down with Ty a few months back and did a show with him. It did not come out how we wanted so we had our people get in touch with his people and we were lucky enough to book him again. I say we were lucky because Ty does it all- coaching, race directing, running, coaching, racing, traveling, teaching, did I say coaching? and of course a great family man.
You will be hard pressed to find a better person than Ty- he is one of the true good people out there and we were excited to hear what he is looking at for 2016. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show and please head on over to www.tydraneyendurance.com to see and learn more.

Episode #4- Jennilyn Eaton: Suffering is humorous.

Tue, 01 Dec 2015 01:00:00 -0700

With Studio 78 under the weather, we headed down to Salt Lake City to meet up with Jennilyn Eaton at Beans & Brews for some java and conversation. Luckily for us she had a small window in yet another busy day of being a mom, working at Park City Running Company training at Momentum and coming back from an injury.
Early on we knew this was going to be a great show as she informed us of some major plans for 2016. The plan starts with trying to get into the Barkley Marathon and then follow that up with the "Wasatch Monopoly". Jennilyn will also throw her name into the Wasatch 100 lottery after receiving "the white dress"- on a dare. Needless to say Jennilyn will have her hands full and we here at TrailManners wish her the best of luck but after sitting down with her we are not sure she needs it!

Episode #3- Tara Warren: That old quesadilla hangover

Tue, 24 Nov 2015 07:28:31 -0700

We caught up with Tara Warren at the 22nd street trailhead just a few days after completing her first 100 mile trail race- the Bear 100. Not only were her emotions still a little raw but so were her feet. We enjoyed listening to how she manages to train for a difficult 100 mile race while she raises her 3 boys with her ultra runner husband Bryce. Bear 100 may have been tough but pulling this show off with a guy on his lunch break bouncing some sweet tunes and devouring Taco Bell was no easy task.

Wow, what a load of information! We met up with Robert and pulled him away from his duties as VP of Science & Technology at First Endurance. When Studio 78 rolled up to the trailhead at Wheeler Creek in Ogden, there was already a sweet VW van waiting. After trading some great stories about the van life we loaded into Studio 78 and got a lesson in nutrition. We encourage everyone to give this a listen.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Scott Jaime in Studio 78 as our first guest on the TrailManners podcast. We would like to think he drove from Colorado just for the show but in fact it was a Fantasy Football draft...go figure. He may not have shared his "sleeper" pick for the season but he shared plenty of great insight and stories from the trail.With Studio 78 parked at the Wasatch 100 start, it was bound to bring up fond memories from his early training and his first 100 mile race. We hope you enjoy the show.
