  • 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!

  • Female runners need this pod!

    I love listening to The Trail Network Pod so much. I appreciate you touching on nuanced topics like balancing being a woman/athlete/and considering starting a family. I also appreciate the bits of wisdom around training hard despite working shift work in health care. I always walk away feeling like I had a cup of tea with the besties, and motivated to train.
