Beyond the Trail Podcast

Really enjoyed this new (to me) trail with Pro trail runner, podcaster, James Lauriello. If you haven't already subscribed to James' podcast, The Steep Stuff Podcast, please go do so now! James is a super nice human with a passion for the sport of trail running. In this pod we talk about the mental side of competition, pressure to perform, his upcoming wedding, training, and so much more. Hope you enjoyed the conversation and the trail.   Mt Herman sits above Monument at 9,063ft, with an elevation gain of about 1600ft in just a couple miles.    If you like this episode, please share it with all your friends!

For my birthday I decided to do something a little different...hike up The Incline (twice) and talk to people who made it to the top. I wanted to find out what their motivation or "why" was for doing such a challenging hike. Hope you enjoy this slightly different format. 

Join me as I hike with Sam Wood, a Physical Therapist in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Sam is a certified Bada$$. She is an Officer in the US Army Reserves on the athlete team competing in DECA competitions, marathons (She's running Boston 2024), OCR events and so much more. She is also an ultra runner and Leadwoman. Hope you enjoy our conversation and the hike!   Follow Sam on Instagram: @woodultra   Also, if you would like to help support the podcast you can join the Patreon community at www.patreon.com/beyondthetrailpodcast  Lots of perks come with the paid membership :)

This was a fun one...always love my trail time with Ryan...we keep it real while he get's you fired up! We start the run in the Garden of the Gods, run to Rampart Range Road, drop down into Williams, climb out of Williams into Waldo on Ute into Manitou and back into the Garden of the Gods to round out an even 20. This one has some profanity, spitting, snot rockets and shit talking so you have been warned! #sorrynotsorry   #coloradosprings #gardenofthegods #rampartrangeroad #williamscanyon #waldocanyon #trailrunning #trails #koopcast #podcasting #podcast #ultrarunning #ultras #realestate #maceshideout #sansmealbar #sans #xendurance #nathansportsinc #hoka #highlonesome #genz #raverunner #dreamateam

Excited to share this one with you...It's a long one but we talk about all kinds of stuff...we go a little deeper in existential topics, music, travel and so much more. Hope you enjoy coming along on my hike in the Horse Gulch Trail system in Durango, Colorado with Filmmaker Steve Vanderheide!   Follow Steve on IG: @vandersliced  Website: www.vanderheidevisuals.com

Join me in Red Rock Canyon Open Space as I get to know Diarra Cropper a little better. We talk about being new to the sport of trail and ultra running, trail culture and growing up in Illinois. I have to mention that unfortunately we lost Diarra's audio just as we were finishing our run/hike so forgive me for this rookie mistake!   check out Diarra on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/co_trilete25/

In this episode I talk to local Filmmaker Chad Weber as we hike the Royal Arch Trail in Boulder, Colorado. We touch on all sorts of topics ranging from work/life balance, creativity, loosing teeth, Midwestern things, what we would do if we won the lottery and so much more. Hope you enjoy coming along on this hike with us.   https://youtu.be/AhainJCrlwU   Strava Data from hike: Chad and his new ride: Will definitely not 'just turn up the radio' when he hears clicking, beeping or warning signs that there's something wrong! ***Claims that he can now do 40 Pushups***
