  • I tried.

    I really tried to like this podcast but the amount of “let’s go!” has become unbelievably annoying. It’s made it hard to listen to any of the content when it’s being said every other sentence.

  • Not for regular people

    I have really tried to listen to this podcast many times but it’s just not a winner. The hosts are very focused on themselves and their limited world of elite ultrarunning in the western part of North America. It doesn’t feel like a sportscast type show either because the coverage of Western states was lame and lacking in breadth. They focused on what they did that day and not all the interesting things that happened. They vibe like spoiled sorority sisters. Their most recent podcast is just ann... more

  • Love this group of ladies!

    I’ve been listening to the Trail Network Podcast since the beginning and I just love the stories these women share, their enthusiasm for our sport and how much they support us, even the non-elite runners. Their guests are fabulous and some of my favorite episodes are when they’re all chatting or interviewing each other. Thanks for continuing to show up for the community!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 97: Black Canyon 100K Head to Head: Jenn Lichter vs Anne Flower
Q: What was the effect of new sponsorships on your approach to the race and training?
Both noted support from Nike/HOKA and ACG, with Jenn acknowledging sponsorship pressure was manageable and empowering, and Anne enjoying team support while maintaining a focus on race directly rather than sponsorship obligations.
Episode 97: Black Canyon 100K Head to Head: Jenn Lichter vs Anne Flower
Q: How did your nutrition and hydration plans hold up during the race, and what changes did you make on the fly?
Anne managed around 70-80 grams of carbs per hour using NeverSecond products with high hydration and stopped to refuel at regular intervals, while Jenn used a combination of Tailwind, Endurance Fuel, and Coca-Cola, carrying a vest to manage fluids and adjusting gel timing to avoid stomach overload.
Episode 97: Black Canyon 100K Head to Head: Jenn Lichter vs Anne Flower
Q: What were your initial goals heading into the race, and how did you adjust those as the day unfolded?
Jenn said she aimed to compete and debut in 100K rather than chase a Golden Ticket, treating it as a new and exciting challenge, while Anne aimed for a fast, solid race with the Golden Ticket as an ultimate goal but remained focused on racing smart and staying within herself for the first 50 miles.
Episode 92: Tabor Hemming on Black Canyon, Ranch Life, and Racing With Patience
