Loving the podcast, ladies. You’re doing a great service to your sport. Wishing you nothing but success in all your endeavors.
Great interview ladies! I'm so glad I watched this one.
thank you for watching!! <3
I don't think you need a podcast
Huge Allie O fan! Great interview
thank you!! we loved chatting with Allie too <3
What is this?
Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Thanks so much for this podcast, taking the leap of faith around career shifts such a big inspiration! Also I ❤trailfest so much, this will be my 3rd year 2025, hoping to do the 200 this year!
This podcast deserves a lot more subscribers. The three of you, Hilary, Katie and Leah, do an excellent job talking with your guests and exploring topics deeply and meaningfully. Tim is a wise, intelligent and caring person, who also has the capacity and desire to delve deeply into subjects. I loved the entire conversation, but everything about runners and our relationship with the trails we run on not just as runners but as stewards was especially thought-provoking. Thank you.
Ah thank you so much for saying so! We have all really enjoyed growing this small but mighty little podcast, and it means so much to us to get this feedback from our listeners. Thanks for listening and for sharing your thoughts with us <3. We're just getting started, don't worry!
❤❤❤
Congrats to you BOTH! What an epic summer it'll be
Is that a crab or a tarantula on her shoulder? 🧐
Congrats Leah and Hilary! Super excited to cheer you both on. Definitely here for the women's race🙌
This should become a tradition every year!! Dani and Katie are a great, positive duo and should treat us to more podcasts together!
Great to hear about the race and congrats Rachel! These are the insights I come to TTN Pod for. The roasting of Finn going too hot in workouts is just a bonus.
wow, a sub 3 marathon. Holy sh!t!
Congrats guys on your race! It’s cool to hear elites struggling and finishing. Thank you for sharing your stories!
Watched the race , you both did amazing
Thanks, Hilary, for your kindness and respectfulness for Emily’s strong faith. Emily your consistent positive attitude, kindness, and steady performances give Him so much glory- how wonderfully we are all made and how greatly he desires to bless us through our friendship with Him.
Emily Hawgood is the kindest in the sport. So inspiring
Leah has so much experience and expertise with UTMB but was not able to share too much in the conversation. That part was disappointing. Lucy is a wonderful, genuine person. So likeable and warm. Really fun to hear her story!
Great convo! These 2 work so well together!
Excellent content ! Thanks
Great interview with Lucy. It's awesome to see the love, respect and admiration amongst all of you.
I enjoyed this interview… it was great to hear from both pacer and runner… and I’m a big fan of Devon… and now a new fan of Tara and of course this channel:) thank you!
Loved this interview and conversation. Congratulations Tara on your Hardrock run and finish. And always fun to hear from Devon, she is a legend!
RIP Dr. Giegold 🙏❤
Wasn’t it Tim Tollefson delivering Happy Meals for Ryan and Kevin? Sounded so cute.

What’s the website for the t-shirts. WTF… love it
I would suggest using caffeine only during overnights. I cant take caffeine non stop over 200m. I did not practice trail napping... I wish I did. Good luck out there.
RIP, Dr. Giggles. Gone too soon.
💔😢
Such an amazing woman whose bright light was extinguished far too early!! R.I.P.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She died from a stroke. RIP ❤
Rest in Peace, Dr. Giegold ❤️
RIP Doc.
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍
Loved watching the live stream as you ladies kicking ass. So inspired. While I am new to ultra trail running and anything more than a 1/2 marathon, I am excited to learn how to become a better ultra running by listening in and following your journey!
You ladies are incredible! Congratulations. So fun to watch your recap, keeping it all real.
Congrats on your incredible performances 🤯. It was so much fun to watch!
Hey, bananapants8 here (watching from a slow day in clinic)...so good to hear about your awesome program. Good luck with the rest of intern year!
Love, love, love this. So much respect for Claire and Brittany. ❤️👣⚡️🏃♀️
Love the discussion about what to eat and drink the night before a race
As a male viewer I was very upset about the coverage not being equal. And you’re very right about the research aspect. I had a look at the Mt. Fuji livestream and saw, that Corrine had done research about a whole bunch of Asian athletes most of us have never heard of. This is something anyone could do if they intend to be professional. And Katie is right: We buy the shoes and the companies make billions every year, so it should be possible to make reasonable efforts to tell the stories we want to hear about and don’t plaster commercials above of it. The livestream in itself is the best advertising they could have of they wanted to.
waaaay better than the boulder boys!!!! Thanks!!!
