Description

Born on the Trail: Going Longer is the long-form audio and video extension of Born on the Trail, created for trail and ultra runners who want to understand the why behind the sport. Instead of chasing social-media fads, the show brings clarity to the concepts, research and training ideas that shape endurance performance. Through extended conversations with coaches, athletes and practitioners, we unpack concepts and principles while translating them into actionable resources that simplify your training and elevate your approach to endurance. This is the companion for your long runs: thoughtful, grounded, and built around learning together.
