Hey, free trail fan, welcome back to the show. I'm your host, Dylan Bowman, joined today by one of the true icons of the sports.

One of the best to ever do it. The four-time UTMB champion, Francois Dane, is here to give us a

glimpse into what has made him so successful and so consistent over the course of his long and illustrious career.

We covered his origin story, his recent departure from the winemaking business.

We talked about fatherhood, living a balanced life, and how that has helped him as an athlete.

We talked about some of the biggest mistakes and learnings that he's had over the course of his career.

Of course, we also panter about

hard rock and UTMB, his friendship with Jim Walmsley, and the 2022 season with his calendar

for the year recently announced over on his Instagram. I have to say, it was a great honor

to have Francois on the podcast. Like many of you, I have huge admiration for him. And I'm

grateful that he would come on the show to share a little wisdom with us. Hope you guys enjoy the

conversation. As always, the free trail podcast is presented by Speedland. And these are the final

days of the SLPDX. This time next week, they will be wiped off the face of the earth

never to be seen again. That's right. On Wednesday, March 16th, the SLPDX will be replaced by the

SLHSV, the new commission from Speedland, inspired by the trails in the southeast, specifically Huntsville, Alabama.

The second shoe from Speedland is right around the corner, and it's absolutely fire.

We cannot wait to release this into the world.

Again, pre-orders will begin March 16th with delivery, hopefully in late April.

But if you want to get a pair of the SLPDX, you should do so now because they'll soon be gone.

And when they're gone, they're gone for good existing as collector's items for the rest of time.

So don't miss out.
