Hey, fam, welcome to the free trail podcast. Of course, I am your host, Dylan Bowman here today with a little crosscast with me in the guest chair this time. Last week I was invited

on the drop of very popular running podcast from our friends at Believe in the Run. Specifically,

this is a Dirt Division episode, the Trail Focus franchise hosted by my friend Taylor Bowden.

For those unfamiliar, Believe in the Run is one of the most influential running media

outlets in the game. I would say it's probably the gold standard for gear-related content.

I've been a longtime reader and viewer of their shoe reviews in particular. I've always admired

their work. So it was an honor to be invited on their flagship podcast for a wide-ranging interview.

We talk about free trail, our journey to where we are now, including successes and challenges

along the way.

We talk about our upcoming races, my recommitment to training, my current footwear rotation,

and a lot more.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

And if you do, make sure you click through to follow

Believe in the Run on Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. Their shoe reviews are hosted on their

website and especially on YouTube. So go click through and give them some love also. Before we get to it,

next week is Big Alta Week, week the three day trail running festival presented by

solomon and hosted on my home trails here in marinwood california this is the third edition of

the race alongside our dear partners at daybreak racing it is also the debut of the hundred k
