This is also a sport we're looking at here where you have to be gritty, you do have to

push through the pain and the suffering. But the aim of every session isn't to do that.

So sometimes maybe it's crappy weather and you're going slower or it's a long run and you

just have to get the miles in but you're feeling good enough. Then you still need to ask

yourself, will I get the benefit out of this? And that benefit may be more mental. It

may be just being tough that day. But it's always asking yourself, what are you trying

to achieve and can you do that? And in particular, is it going to be detrimental?

Welcome to the Trailhead of TrailRunner Nation, where we go on virtual trail runs with interesting

guests and teachers, a little bit about how to be a better runner and possibly better

human beings. If this is your first time listening, we welcome you to the trail and

hope you feel welcome. And today we're going to have actually four runners on this trail

with us today. Scott, we're going to talk to Sally McRae, Patrick Regan, Ian Sharman

and Adam Kimball. And we're going to talk about TRN's training principles. And if you're

wondering what that is, stay tuned because we're going to explain.

Path projects, we've used them for a year, Scott, and there's a reason. They were created

to make great gear for us runners. Right now, it's cold outside. That's a problem.

And there are a lot of different companies, a lot of different clothing that you can choose

from that can keep you warm while you're out putting in those winter miles. But path

projects not only keeps you warm, but it's very functional. It works with you. It's made

for runners and not only that, it looks great on the trail and off the trail. It has the

pockets where you need them. It has lots of storage. They're warm and they're comfortable.

And they look good too, Don. These, the, the kill and pant, I actually wear almost everyday
