To me, like, I would rather start with, like I said, nailing the basics, but then also

being sure that, like, I have a strong hold, like, on my health, right?

Right.

Like, making sure that my gut, like, is, like, ready to handle the effort.

I've done everything I can to sort of acclimate the body to the conditions.

No type of shoe or, like, gear really matters if your body is revolting against you.

That is such a good perspective.

Welcome to the Trailhead of TrailRunner Nation.

Where we go on virtual trail runs with guests that are going to teach us how to be

better runners through science, through inspiration, a little bit of motivation.

We're going to enjoy our sport better after this episode.

It's also possibly going to make us better and happier human beings.

Scott, that was probably the very best you've done of all of these intros.

I love it.

We're running with Stephanie Flippin today, and she's going to talk to us about the one

thing that takes most runners out of a race, and that's GI distress.

You know, Scott, you and I have been wearing John G a long time.

And I was quite surprised, pleasantly, to find out that John G's for women too.

And I have here with me, Sydney Bradley.

That's my daughter, and she's going to tell us about her experience with John G.

You know what, Dad, I've been trying running shorts forever.

And they have never worked for me not once.
