#289 - Experienced CDT thru hikers tell those who wish to hike this longest of the Triple Crown American trails to "embrace the brutality". It's the longest and the hardest of the three. This week, I talk about the trail, including the history, what makes it so tough, the few FKTs and why it is of interest to runners! We are so blessed to have these incredible trails and even if it's just for an afternoon hike, make a section of the CDT be on your bucket list!

Also, don't miss my adventure at Mt Tamalpais this past weekend! It was quite an experience. And this time, it didn't involve the ER, thankfully!

#288 - Jenna Burris is a licensed professional counselor and trail runner. She's found a way to combine her love of nature with her love of helping people and invented the term Trail Therapist. Though she didn't start Eco Therapy, she is a part of this new field in therapy and it's refreshing to hear about a new way to help patients. She shares this and more in this week's episode. Therapy is very much needed in our world and it's nice to know that someone is offering an alternative to a stuffy office!

#287 - With the creation of the Internationalist running shoe in 1980, Nike created a road running shoe that helped spark the tsunami of running that even today hasn't stopped. But by the mid-1980s, Nike realized that there was a lot more money to be made outside of running; lots and lots more money. They abandoned running for the greener pastures of trendy fashion. That was the corporation's first step away from running for Nike.

Throughout the years, Nike has had several missteps, some perhaps not deliberate, but many, could have been handled in better, more appropriate ways. In this week's episode, I talk about Nike's downfall as it relates only to running. Of course, they have had other problems not-running related. I'll leave that for other shows.

Much of the information I talk about comes from Kara Goucher's book "The Longest Race". There is a link on the show website if you would like to purchase a copy.
