E100 Trail Tips: My first 50km

E100 Trail Tips: My first 50km

Tory and I get together to celebrate 100 episodes!

We answer listener questions on how to run your first 50K race and reminisce about our first attempt at the distance. Should you run your first 50 as a virtual race or hold out for the real deal? Does gardening count as training? What if you can only get to the trails once a week, can you train on road? How do you train when it’s so darn hot? Get the answers plus a whole lot of banter in this episode.
