  • Good podcast - no backbone not empathy

    Hi Dylan

    To not start with the negative i want to say that i really enjoy and appreciate your podcast and the work you do for the trailrunning community.

    I just listened to the pod with Katie and Jim and i was truly saddened by your non response to her struggles - the inability to live in her own country with her spouse in a dignified way.

    But not answering and not showing any empathy with her is crazy to me.

  • An essential podcast for the professional trail and ultra running scene. Host Dylan Bowman wears his North American bias on his sleeve, but travels the world in order to cover the sport from all angles. A variety of regular guests round out the production. DBo and friends bring an air of professionalism to a sport that is on the rise.

Anna Gibson & Cam Smith | Olympic SkiMo Pre-Race Interview
Q: How have you thought about the Olympics and your potential to compete there?
I think this is probably the fourth iteration of the Olympics I have envisioned myself being a part of, bouncing between different sports.
Anna Gibson & Cam Smith | Olympic SkiMo Pre-Race Interview
Q: Anna, what did it mean for you to do this race with Cam and earn this Olympic bid?
It was an incredibly surreal moment, winning my first World Cup race and making it to the Olympics.
Anna Gibson & Cam Smith | Olympic SkiMo Pre-Race Interview
Q: Maybe let's start with the moment at the finish line of Solitude. What was that like for you?
It was the culmination of this huge buildup, and not just Anna and me; it was the whole team racing to earn our spot.
Beth McKenzie | Anti-Doping, Entrepreneurship, & Maintaining Love of Sport
Q: Could you share a bit about the substance itself, Ostarine?
Ostarine is a SARM, which is a selective androgen receptor modulator, a steroid-like substance that people would take to build muscle but it is detectable during tests.

Q: What makes you, you?
I am someone that just likes to bite off more than I can chew and then slowly figure out how to eat it.
