I first met Peter at the US Trail Running Conference in Estes Park, CO. We sat together at lunch, had a great conversation, and I'm excited to bring his perspectives to the Strength Running Podcast.

Peter is on the podcast today to discuss a wide-ranging set of issues that affect runners:

What counts as "trail running" (especially if you live in a city)
How you can get involved with trail maintenance in your area
Plogging and how we can leave spaces better than we found them
His favorite type of race
The ATRA trail race calendar
