Hey, fam, welcome to the free trail podcast. I am your host, Dylan Bowman, here with another

conversation with a great trail runner.

Today we are joined by Danny Moreno of Mammoth Lakes, California, the Hoka athlete who has blossomed

into one of the best shorter distance and sub ultra trail runners in the sport. This summer,

Danny managed to finish on the podium of both the Montblok Marathon and OCC, two of the most important races in Europe, and two of the most competitive races of the entire summer.

And this weekend, Danny will also be taking the start line at the Flagstaff SkyPeaks 26K as part of the Golden Trail World Series, which she is competing

in throughout the 2022 season. I felt like Danny has relatively quietly built a great career for herself.

She's having an awesome season, and it seemed like a perfect opportunity to have her on the pod.

We talked all about Danny's background, her collegiate career.

We talked about the competitive landscape in the global sub-Ultra trail scene.

We talked about her coach and her training.

We talked about her season so far and why she views it as a bit of a breakthrough,

including details from the podium performances at both the

Mont Blanc Marathon and OCC. It was a great conversation. Hope you really enjoy it. A big thank you to

Speedland, the presenting sponsor of the free trail podcast, the pinnacle of innovation in trail footwear,

the boutique startup from Portland, Oregon. Speedland has single-handedly raised the standard

for trail equipment.

The SLHSVE is out now.

Removable Carbatex carbon plate, double boa fit system, dynamo upper, Michelin outsole.

The shoe is a piece of art and I will only be available for

a limited time. Get a pair at RunSpedland.com before it's too late. I'm meeting up with Dave and

Kevin tomorrow down in NorCal as we move towards the pre-order of our forthcoming shoe collaboration.
