| 0:00.0 | Hey, fam, welcome to the free trial podcast. I am your host, Dylan Bowman. And today we are |
| 0:19.9 | joined by Tom Evans, the champion |
| 0:22.8 | British ultra runner who just finished second place at the Black Canyon 100K just a few days ago. |
| 0:28.3 | This is the second time Tom has appeared on the show. And I have to say, it is a pretty special |
| 0:33.8 | episode. Of course, we talk a lot about Black Canyon, but we also talk about sports |
| 0:38.7 | psychology, discipline, and cultivating self-belief. We talk about his relationship with |
| 0:44.2 | competition, versatility and specificity and training, race management. We look ahead towards |
| 0:50.7 | Western states and a lot more. Tom is an absolute beast. He's also as impressive |
| 0:57.1 | of a professional athlete as exists across sports, in my opinion. He is accomplished so much in such a |
| 1:03.6 | short period of time. And as you'll hear, it feels like he is just getting started. Hope you all |
| 1:09.3 | enjoy the conversation. |
| 1:14.9 | As always, a big thank you to Speedland, the presenting sponsor of the free trail podcast. |
| 1:19.9 | As I mentioned in the last episode, the production trial is now complete. |
| 1:26.2 | We are now in the final phase before the full manufacturing run, and we couldn't be more excited. |
| 1:29.5 | I have to say the whole process of bringing these shoes to market has been a huge learning experience for me. It's been amazing to observe and learn |
| 1:35.6 | from Dave and Kevin in the process of bringing a brand new product from idea to prototype to |
| 1:43.3 | finished product. The GSTAM is coming. And I know |
| 1:47.0 | we've been hyping it up for a while, but it's close and we're excited. So thanks again to those |
| 1:52.0 | who have pre-ordered. We are very grateful for the support. For those who have it, it's not too late. |
| 1:57.2 | Go grab a pair of the GSTAM now at run speedland.com and use code free trail 10 for 10% |
| 2:03.7 | off your order. Before we get to the episode, I'd be irresponsible not to encourage you to join |
| 2:09.6 | Free Trail Pro. We've got, I think, eight new training plans coming to the website very soon. |
