Hey fam. Welcome back to the free trail podcast. Of course, I am your host, Dylan Bowman.

Today we are joined by my good friend,

the trail running legend, the pride of New Zealand, the one and only Anna Frost is finally here

on the podcast, and I'm so happy about it. Frosty's a longtime friend. She was one of my

original inspirations as a pioneering professional athlete in the sport when I was but a pup,

a young, ambitious, up-and-coming trail runner myself. She has won and finished on the podium of

many of the biggest races in the world. She is unquestionably one of the all-time grades.

As you'll hear, her relationship with running has changed a lot over the years, but it was as

good a time as ever to have her on the show.

Some topics we discuss.

Anna's current relationship with running, her Kiwi roots, the early days of the Solomon International team, and all the amazing characters on that founding squad.

We talk about Hard Rock and her community in Silverton.

We talk about career management, aging as an elite athlete, current project that she's

involved with.

We talk about the state of the sport in 2024 and a lot more.

It's a great convo.

Frosty is the best.

And I hope you enjoy the conversation.
