Episode notes

Today, I am joined by three of the hosts of the NEWEST podcast in the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network – The Trail Network!

The Trail Network is hosted by ultra runners Leah Yingling, Rachel Drake, Katie Asmuth, and Hilary Yang. Together, they bring the untold stories of magical moments amongst trail runners to life. These stories of runners on and off the trail capture the essence and heart of trail running, and the power of friendship and connection. You’ll find inspiration, community, and a reminder of why we run!

Today, I chatted with Rachel, Katie, and Hilary getting to know their own running stories and the why behind the podcast. I had SO much fun on this intro episode!!

This podcast launched last week with three inspiring and exciting conversations. Go check it out!!
