Running Buddies featuring Evan Birch
Description
On todays show I'm joined by Evan Birch, a Canadian ultrarunner and co star of the documentary "Supernova," which follows his journey racing with his dog, Nova. Birch shares his expertise on the biomechanics and safety of distance running with canines, emphasizing proper recovery and climate awareness for animals. We also explore Birch’s personal history with PTSD and how trail running serves as a vital tool for his mental health. We also dive into the dialogue around mainstream influencer culture in sports and advocates for a more authentic, community-driven approach to the ultra-marathon environment.
