Summary

Usually, I fire off answers as fast as I can. Whether that's on Facebook or Twitter, I try to be as responsive as possible.

But sometimes, life gets in the way. I simply don't have the time to answer all of your questions - especially when a single SR email goes out to about 80,000 runners...

That does not, however, mean I'm not paying attention.

In fact, I often save your running questions to get to them later. And that's exactly what we're doing today.

Joining me as the SR Podcast's first co-host is my friend, fellow coach, and ultra runner Doug Hay.

Fresh off his sub-15hr run at the Ultra Run of Champions (snagging him a sweet belt buckle!), Doug is helping us get to the bottom of some of your toughest questions.

Let's dive in.

about 4,000 feet of elevation change and it was on some of the you know most

technical trails at about 8 to 9,000 feet altitude.

So needless to say, I'm pretty sore right now.

It was a blast though.

0:58.6

These are some of the most beautiful trails

1:01.2

I've ever run in my life. I had to stop and just marvel at being able to see a hundred miles west into the mountains. It's just stunning.

1:09.0

If you ever have the opportunity to get out into the mountains for some trail running. Do it. Take advantage of it and please don't miss that chance. I often say that running is one of the best ways to experience the world and that couldn't be more true of trail running.

Okay let's dive into today's episode. This is the first show where I have a co-host.

gnarly terrain. And I invited Doug to join me because we're going to answer some of the most common
