In episode 88 of Trail Society, hosts Corrine Malcolm, Hillary Allen, and Keely Henninger take a deep dive into all things trail running as they answer listener questions in a special "Ask Us Anything" format. From training theories to nutrition hacks, they tackle everything from treadmill hill intervals to how to train for mountain races while living in an urban environment. The trio also shares their personal must-do exercises for the off-season, discusses the nuances of ultra-marathon training, and offers tips on improving technical trail running skills.
The episode also touches on the importance of community and how to find your tribe, whether you're new to the sport or looking to connect with other trail runners. The hosts give advice on how to overcome the intimidation factor of running on trails and how to build meaningful connections without relying on formal running clubs. They also explore the challenges of balancing relationships with training and share their experiences with sponsorships, providing candid insights into what it's like to be a professional athlete.
To round out the episode, the team answers a series of fun "rapid fire" questions, including dream running partners from any era, the best advice they've ever received, and their thoughts on what makes someone a "real" runner. They close by highlighting a special cause—an endurance festival to support the hurricane-devastated town of Old Fort, North Carolina—and remind listeners to give back this holiday season. Whether you're looking for expert training advice or a good dose of motivation, this episode has something for every trail runner.
