About this episode

Art and Phred discuss winter running challenges, training strategies, and the importance of community in the running world.

Art and Phred talk winter survival mode: dodgy road conditions, shoulder rehab, fitness dips, and why flexible training beats heroic stupidity this time of year. We also review a Canadian Trail Running (Fishing) Magazine article about How to Be a Lifelong Runner. And take a quick yard sale dive into Skimo, just before we thank our Patreons. We finish with a dope Suno generated 112 song. Art's snowy van saga + recovery update Winter marathon training reality checks Cut 112 is happening sign up, crew, pace, or suffer responsibly The Real King of Pain run incoming (stream crossings + party, home by kickoff) Snowy trails vs rocks: pick your poison SKIMO hits the Olympics trail runners invading winter sports Running long-term: avoid dumb injuries, run happy, not wrecked Burrito League envy and community run shenanigans Shoutouts to the Cultra crew Patreons grinding through winter miles Bottom line: stay active, stay kind, don't take yourself too seriously, and we'll see you out there.
