Episode Details

Sarah and Amanda talk all things trail running with Sarah Lavender Smith, a running coach and author of The Trail Runner’s Companion. A veteran of 93 (!) marathons and ultras, Sarah shares:

• her personal transformation from smoker to accomplished ultramarathoner;
• the importance of optimism and adaptability when hitting the trail;
• safety-related scenarios to be prepared for (hint: it’s not “wild animals and creepy people”);
• her favorite pre-run warm-up exercises; and,
• an eye-opening way of looking at “walking” mid-run.

The intro chitchat runs the gamut, including Sarah talking about her continued Missoula Marathon training. The Other Sarah joins the show at 15:07.
