Aside from the weather your favorite podcast hosts don’t talk about running, again. Here are their favorite songs currently on their playlist, so you get something out of listing to this.

Doug and Mathias discuss how to venture into the outdoors in a safe manner and come up with a few rules on how to enjoy the outdoors in these crazy times we live in. They celebrate the ingenious backyard projects and our endless yearning for adventure.
The mountain will wait for us, but will we be patient to wait for them?

Doug finds bags of flour to bake and shares a story of one of his favorite runs in Glacier National Park.
Mathias contemplates running every single street in Olympia again and shares some of his favorite Tailwind flavors… buzz buzz…

We’ve started the next 100 episodes with a special SingleTrack, after dark. What was different? We added drinks and recorded after the sun set. Mathias ran a 5k around his house, which led us to a conversation about how to interact with the trail running community during Covid-19. We chat about Unbreakable: the Western States 100 feature film, hear about Doug getting back to running after an injury and finally get to incredible recipes to make.

For this 100th episode, amidst a global pandemic Doug and Mathias don’t have much to celebrate. Trail races are cancelled all over the world, people are discouraged to congregate and Mathias is slowly running out of flour…
But, we still have each other, we still have adventures out our back door, we still have daylights,
and sunsets
and cups of coffee…

It’s a show for the end of the world… or so it it feels. Doug is injured, Kaiser Woods dances with Mathias, races are canceled and training plans are made for these desperate times.

Stay healthy, friends, stay healthy. And go on a run, if you can!

Doug suspends his campaign, finally. Mathias forgets his water on his long run, like a noob.
They discuss Walmsley at the Olympic Trials, proper nutrition on long runs and what adventure experiences do to the human psyche. We need more of it.

Thanks for tuning in every week – means the world to us!

The recent search and rescue event out at the Duckabush on the Olympic Peninsula make your favorite podcasters re-up the conversation about safety in the backcountry. Do not be complacent. Go prepared, check things twice, bring your stuff and tell people where you’re going.
Also, running shoes are purchased, orientation runs are organized, and jokes are made about tiny houses.

Hey, Doug and Mathias got to run together, in real life, that was fun, and it was at Kaiser.
The team discusses all the new 100 mile races that are popping up in the PNW and Mathias reviews the Nathan ExoDraw handheld from last week in more details.
The first orientation run at Kaiser is announced. All the fun in the neighborhood!

It’s product review time here in the Singletrack studios. Doug and Mathias talk about the new Biolite headlamps, a Teton Sports backpacks, Boca Gear hats, and Nathan hydration vests. Since we’re already reviewing stuff, of course we have to talk about that NYT article about Jim Wamsley too.
Oh, and don’t forget socks, so many awesome, socks! All links to products below!

Mathias finds a pocket in the weather window and marvels at the man-made alpine on timber land.
Doug runs with some tailwind and shares some road closure updates due to severe flooding… and, well climate change.

Mathias dreams of life in a tourist town and rollerblades through Munich, Doug takes his gramophone out on a trail and makes eye contact with a dog.

Spot on trail running talk, as always.

In this week’s audio extravaganza the team dives into the excellent article on the future of alpinism in Rock and Ice. Stories are being told of running adventure while traveling and and somehow roller skates are thrown into the mix.

This week’s episode is all about the Pacific Crest Trail, and the weather, of course the weather.
Mathias again didn’t get the award for ultra runner of the year and Doug got stared down by a coyote, but aside from that, we’re doing just fine.

Thank you all for coming out to our first ‘Stories of Adventure‘ event at Swantown Inn & Spa. What an incredible night, thank you!

It’s wet on our runs, and cold, and windy, and soon probably snowy. Runners, embrace the harsh weather and enjoy those miles breathing cold air and refresh your mind. Our sport is growing and your trusty podcast creators are diving into some cool stats from a cool survey highlighting some incredible figures.
