Running and Racing with Leo Schumaker-March 23, 2026 with trail runner Trent Banks.
Q: How do you approach speed on trails as you get older, and what's the mindset about pace?
Banks suggests that speed isn't the sole measure of performance on trails; some athletes push quickly on climbs, but the sport often rewards pacing, presence, and enjoying the environment. He advocates running your own race, walking when needed, and valuing the burn as part of personal growth rather than a race to the fastest time.
