Retrofam, welcome back to the podcast for a really fun episode in a slightly new format.

Today our guests are Hannah Allgood and Ryan Thrower.

Hannah is a pro athlete for Dina Fit and the Feed.

She's a coach for FreeTrail and the personal coach for both Ryan and myself.

Ryan, of course, is my creative partner on all things, free trail,

the MVP and the producer of this very podcast

since its earliest days. These are two of my favorite people and it was so fun to sit down together

for a podcast. As I said, Hannah coaches Ryan and I, all three of us coincidentally raced last weekend,

myself and Ryan at the Tillamookburn, 20-miler and 50-miler, respectively,

and Hannah at Transvaucania, one of the most important and competitive races in Europe.

We all had solid days out there, especially Hannah, who finished fifth place in a stacked

field, a huge international breakthrough for Coach. All Good. Ryan had a really solid 50

miler on his road to Western States, and I ripped the Band-Aid off with a respectable third place

at my first race since Hard Rock last summer, hard to believe. We recap all those results in the

episode here today. So I hope you enjoy some other topics we discuss

Hannah's personal and athletic background, her personal transformation and path to

coaching. We talk about the importance of emotional health for performance. We talk about

Hannah's friendship with Ryan. We talk, of course, about the podcast that they do together

called Trail Running Radio. We dig deep on

her performance at Transva Kanye, some recent epiphanies from her sports psychologist. We talk about

Ryan's race at the Burn 50-miler. We talk about Hannah coaching Ryan towards Western States,

my race at the Burn 20-miler, what next for Hannah's racing career, and a lot more.
