Welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I'm your host Finn Melanson, and in this

episode we talk with Reed Coolset, a former Olympic level marathoner and now professional trail

runner for Solomon based in Hamilton, Ontario, who is lining up for this year's Western States

100. Before we get started, though, this episode of single track is brought to you by

SOAR running. Soar Running, that's S-O-A-R-R-running, are a London-based high-performance running apparel brand.

Why am I excited to partner with SOAR? Well, if you're like me, you take pride in your running gear,

and you want the best. That's why I'm stoked about this brand.

They are pushing the running apparel boundaries when it comes to producing gear that we care about,

like wet and cold weather layers and racing kids. I'm also excited because they are finally moving

into the trail running space. After years in the figurative lab, they have launched a trail-specific

clothing line that I've had a chance to

test. Specifically, their half-zip t-shirts, trail race vests, and trail shorts, all out on

All you got to do is enter the code single track 20 at checkout, but act fast.

This code is only valid through June and July.

I'm stoked to people, and I care about you all.

I wouldn't be endorsing something if I didn't believe in it and use it myself. So go check out sore running when you get a chance. With that, let's get on with the show.

All right, read Cool Set. Welcome back to the single track podcast. Yeah, good to be back then.

So for listeners that are not familiar with you, we did do a podcast back in February, a great one.

I'll link to it in the show notes.
