100 Episodes Later: What We’ve Learned, Built, and Still Care About

About this episode

In this milestone episode, the hosts reflect on their podcast journey and discuss key moments in trail running and personal experiences.

Episode 100. Two years of conversations, 50+ guests, and a whole lot of growth. In this milestone episode, Katie Asmuth, Leah Yingling, and Hilary Yang take a step back to reflect on the journey of the podcast, the evolution of the sport, and where things are heading next. They dive into the biggest moments in trail running right now, including the electric women’s race at Chianti, the continued dominance of Courtney Dauwalter, and what it means to see different training styles all succeed at the highest level. The conversation also turns personal. Leah shares about her return to racing postpartum and what it taught her about patience, identity, and execution. Katie talks through the reality of balancing high-level training with family life and the importance of knowing when to pull back. Hilary reflects on stepping away from structure, rediscovering joy in movement, and finding creativity outside of racing.
