Moab 240 & The Best Shoes of 2026 #260

Gary eases his little feet off the gas this week as all that recent racing finally catches up with him. Meanwhile, Eddie is fully back in the Spine groove, lots of time spent settling into that steady, stubborn Spine Race pace.

Overseas, we all saw the Moab 240 get cancelled, a sobering reminder of how quickly things can change out on the trails. Thankfully, everyone made it off safely.

To wrap up the show, we chat about our favourite footwear of 2026. It’s a perfect example of how subjective shoe choice can be, both hosts choosing completely different options.

Plenty of inspiration over on Strava, and we’ve even got a Dragons Back Race Heavy Flex to round things off.

Stu and Eddie take over Brew with the Coaches this week as we follow Eddie’s journey toward the 2027 Winter Spine Race. Stu’s been on the podcast before, and Eddie has kindly agreed to share her session as she works through The Unbreakable Athlete mindset program.
