Coach Woza joins the Home Trails Podcast to talk answer your questions!

This one hits a bit differently to our usual training-centric episode....We discuss some tricky subjects, including the question that mainstream media have asking "Are women better ultra-runners than men?" 

Which leads us onto BYU and the affects its having as a niche of a niche in our already niche sport of ultra running. I suggest that backyards are responsible for bringing new runners into our sport that may not have taken the traditional route into ultra.

We talk about the science of footwear, including Altra and Nike who have just released their own zero drop shoe. Is it for everyone? Woza talks about how to safely rotate the shoes in our shoe quiver.

Is running being watered down by running groups within our sport? We touch on the sensitive subject of women's safety in running and racing and we decide that more needs to be said on the subject, especially by men on podcasts!

And finally, how often can we break ourselves in big races and recover enough to do it again the same year.

This episode is a big one and I hope that in he subjects we discuss, we come across as intended, two people who are trying their best to discuss sensitive subjects without offending anyone, because that was our intention.
