Run Free Podcast

In the latest episode of the Run Free Podcast, we share a conversation with one of our original coaching staff and professional runner, Courtney Barnes. Courtney raced professionally on the track for many years prior to making a transition to trail running. Courtney retired from trail running for a brief period of time, finding that the external change didn't remedy the internal challenges she was facing. In this conversation, we talk about her journey and how she has come back to trail running with a fresh perspective, the lessons she learned and how we can be healthier, happier runners.

The Podcast is Back! Ryan introduces the new hosts of the Podcast Chad and Jay. The group discusses various topics including how to fully enjoy your running, their history as endurance athletes, and speed development for distance runners.

Jared is not only fast but he is a rock solid dad, friend, coach, and human being. Give this a listen to get some fresh perspective on the beautiful journey of running and life.

Questions covered: How to unload pressure leading up to a race, How to visualize, how to handle surging in racing, and more.
