If you are maximizing your physical performance, you are not in the happiest configuration.

And there are, I think there are higher callings than being happy.

But at the same time, like, I wonder every day, like, if I wake up tomorrow and I'm killed in an avalanche,

like, how will I look back at the last couple months in my life?

Welcome back or welcome to the Single Trek podcast.

I'm your host, Finn Melanson,

and this is the first episode of a new series we are calling Trail T.

I'm not exactly sure what it means,

but it's compelling and it gets the crowd going.

The goal of these episodes are to essentially take the candor of group chats

and pull them into the audio realm.

In this edition, I am joined by Jack Kenzel, Dan Kurtz, and Abby Levine.

We talk about pro-runner social media, whether trail running media is boring, whether trail

races should be more exclusive, whether you can trust the gear review industry, whether pro-runner

should all be public with their Strava, and whether we should be elevating people who focus 100% on the sport.

That is a lot of weathers.

Thank you to our sponsors, Rabbit and HVMN, for supporting this episode.

And all right, with that, buckle up because this is a fun episode.

All right, we're live.

I am here with Dan Kurtz, Jack Kenzel, Abby Levine.

I am no longer a big fan of introductions and podcasts.
