Welcome back or welcome to the Single Track Podcast.

This is another edition of the long run archives with my friend and co-host Brett Hornig.

We catch up on some personal life stuff in the first five-ish minutes of the show

before covering a whole slew of current events in the sport, including the many angles of Tara Dower's overall,

fastest known time on the Appalachian Trail, the Camille Heron

Wikipedia controversy, the Mammoth Trail Fest, and our way too early predictions for next

year's Western States before closing with a new segment, the coolest stuff we came across

on the internet last week. Note that this episode was recorded on a Wednesday, September 25th, and I am

recording this intro on Thursday, September 26th. So some of this chatter might get dated by

new information, like the press release that came out this morning announcing that Lulu Lemon

had parted ways with Camille. This information came out after Brett and I had recorded this episode.

So with all of that in mind, let's get this episode started.

All right, we are back with the 19th edition of the Long Run Archives.

I'm here with co-host Brett Hornig.

Brett, how are you doing today?

What's new in your world?

Yeah, what's up?

Dude, doing great. Just trying to get a little speed back in these legs, you know,

with the slightly reduced time I have during the week to run. But it's been a fun challenge.

It's finally starting to cool off a little bit here in Ashland. Leaves are starting to change color.

We'll season, we'll season actions going on.

But yeah, dude, this is, we haven't done just kind of like a classic long run archives in a while.
