Description

Thinking about making the jump from road racing to trail and ultra running? In this episode of Mind Your Miles, Nick Hilton and Will Baldwin dive deep into the biggest mistakes runners make when transitioning to the trails. They share their personal blunders, offer practical advice, and discuss key topics like fueling, gear selection, pacing, course strategy, and the mental side of trail racing.

Plus, the guys argue about super shoes, world records, and why runners refuse to post their race times on Instagram. They also answer a listener question: At what point can you call yourself a runner?

Whether you're an experienced road racer curious about the trails or an ultra veteran looking to laugh at our rookie mistakes, this one's for you.
