Summary
What if there was a way to instantly diagnose and address running issues right on the trail?
In this episode, we talk about the new Trail Triage app. We speak with the team that developed the app answering these and other key questions:
- What is Trail Triage?
- Why was it developed?
- How can it help me on my training runs and racing?
- How do I access it?
- Where does the content come from? Can I trust it?
- How much does it cost?
Trail Triage is an innovative new tool that can assist runners, pacers, crew, and aid station volunteers tackle common challenges during runs. Trail Triage is a free mobile app that currently identifies 13 common issues a trail runner might be faced with. The app then helps you diagnose the issue, and provides some solutions that might help and let you know if it is serious enough to DNF or not.
This is the team who brought this vision to life:
• Bob Crowley, who sparked the original idea;
• Dr. John Anderson, a seasoned emergency physician whose medical insights are woven into the core of the app; and
• Scott Vosburg, the tech wizard who turned these ideas into reality.
