Welcome back or welcome to the Single Track Podcast.

I'm your host, Finn Milanson, and in this episode, we talk with Cole Watson, a professional trail runner for Hoka based in Folsom, California, ahead of the 2022 Western States 100.

Before we get started, though, this episode of Single Track is brought to you by Soar Running.

Soar Running, that's S-O-A-R-RAR running, are a London-based high-performance running apparel brand.

Why am I excited to partner with SOAR?

Well, if you're like me, you take pride in your running gear, then you want the best.

They are pushing the running apparel boundaries when it comes to producing

gear that we care about like wet and cold weather layers and racing kids. I'm also excited because

This apparel is the real deal.

If you want help getting kidded out for your training and racing needs, SOAR is offering us

an exclusive 20% savings at soar running.com.

All you got to do is enter the code single

track 20 at checkout, but act fast. This code is only valid through June and July. I'm stoked

people, and I care about you all. I wouldn't be endorsing something if I didn't believe in it

and use it myself, so go check out sore running when you get a chance. With that, let's get on with the show.
