This week, Katie, Leah, and Rachel talk motherhood in sport, post-UTMB recovery, and their renewed motivation to get serious about strength training.
Katie also sits down with Jes Parker, founder of Take 2 Trail, a secondhand trail running gear business making it easier for runners to buy and sell used gear. Jes shares how a pile of unwanted headlamps sparked the idea, how Take 2 Trail works, and why giving gear a second life can make trail running more affordable and less wasteful.
Plus, the crew catches up on what’s next after UTMB, from mountain biking and CCC goals to getting “shredded in the backyard.”
