#61: Trail Running Wisdom, With Trail Runner Nation Scott & Don

A conversation with my friends Scott Warr and Don Freeman, hosts of the Trail Runner Nation podcast. TRN is trail running's #1 podcast in the world, with more than 600 episodes recorded.

We break down the barriers for road runners to get into trail running and advice on how to improve as a trail runner and ultra runner.

Scott Warr and Don Freeman are experienced non-elite trail runners, located in Northern California. Trail Runner Nation is one of trail running's oldest and most downloaded podcasts. I love the TRN podcast and have been listening to them for 10+ years. This is how I initially discovered Dr Phil Maffetone, Dr Mark Cucuzzella and several others.

This conversation was a blast to record because Scott and Don have stories for days from their trail and ultra adventures.
