“It’s just a meandering burrito fest… the art of the possible.” - MVD

Trailing Indicators returns with a sharp, funny, and honest catch-up featuring Troy Meadows Corinne Shalvoy and Matt Van Dalsem. Corinne recaps a stacked stretch: crewing at Western States, calling the action at Hardrock, then throwing down at the Ouray 50 where she finished within two minutes of the course record and started eyeing Javelina 100K with a sticky-note reminder of the 8:13 mark.

MVD chimes in from “off-season” purgatory, pledging his hiatus ends at Javelina and launching a spirited riff on the boom in 200-milers, live coverage, and why finish-line dreams can belong to mid-packers too.

Discussion Topics:

• Catch up after a long break 

• What's your go to for logging your training and building your training calendar

• Have 200’s hit the tipping point

Highlights:

• Ouray vs Javelina: from big-mountain strength to desert speed, and why pace comparisons in trail are mostly useless.

• The Mammoth 200 effect: how livestreams and storytelling are pulling more runners into 200-mile adventures.
