| 0:00.0 | Okay, welcome everybody to rest day, our special Monday tradition here breaking down the latest happenings in Trail and Ultra Running. |
| 0:21.5 | Joining me from Boston on Marathon Monday after a week off, Tim Talibson. How you doing, bro? |
| 0:28.4 | How's the energy there in Boston? |
| 0:32.1 | It's there is not a better Monday in marathoning. It's, but I'm pretty tired after being in activations for the last four or five days. |
| 0:40.7 | And I'm back here in my little dirty hostel that I could afford. |
| 0:45.1 | And yeah, but I'm excited to be back. |
| 0:47.9 | It looks like a luxury hotel room. |
| 0:49.8 | And hopefully the Wi-Fi is robust here for our live stream. I got to tell you real quick. So Mario was going to stay with me. He shows up. He literally left and booked a hotel room. He's like, I'm not staying in that room. So appearances are deceiving. Mario's got high standards. Anyway, we can talk more about that in a little bit. We have a very special guest |
| 1:11.1 | in the waiting room. I don't want to beat around the bush too much, but just two quick programming |
| 1:15.7 | notes here at the top. It is, of course, Canyons Week here. We're not going to talk a lot about it |
| 1:21.3 | today, but we do have three live shows later on this week, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from the endurance capital of the |
| 1:29.6 | world, Auburn, California. So look out for your friends at Free Trail around the final |
| 1:34.3 | golden ticket race of 2026 building towards Western states. Our special guest is going to be there |
| 1:40.2 | running the 50K, which is awesome. And then the other thing that I wanted to mention here at the |
| 1:44.4 | top is I had an idea. We got to start making StravaFile the week more community oriented, |
| 1:51.3 | more crowdsourcing. I have some very special people who funnel me great Stravophiles every week, |
| 1:58.0 | but I thought maybe it would be more fun to involve the broader rest day community, |
| 2:02.2 | the broader viewer and listenership. So when you go on Strava and you see something that's very |
| 2:08.2 | impressive, you got to tag your boy in the chat in the comments, maybe tag Tim to put Strava |
| 2:15.0 | file the week in there. And that'll be a great way for us to ascertain the |
| 2:19.8 | best files of the week as we put the docket together every week for rest day. |
| 2:24.4 | Those are two very quick programming notes here at the top. |
