Description
In this weeks episode, our host, and resident Runbum, traveled to Pennsylvania to participate in the Hyner Trail Challenge. This course has been dubbed, "the run of your life," and "one of the funnest [race] courses in the world!" Sean Michael goes into every detail of the course, and why it's his favorite race in the....WORLD.  After that we have some amazing guests to talk about the Hyner and the PA trails.  Todays guests: John Dennis Shaffer, is a crucial link to the PA Trail Dogs, helping maintain the trails on the course, and also an avid trail runner. He's what Sean Michael calls a "trail pirate" of the Pennsylvania trails, and has over 60 races under his belt. His stories are captivating and inspiring to say the least.  Jill Dennes resides in Nashville, TN and is fairly new to the ultra and trail running community. That doesn't mean that she's not already thriving. From the fast miles on the roads to the steepest inclines, she loves any and everything about running. This year she places 5th female at the Hyner 50k AND 86th female at the Boston Marathon ALL IN THE SAME WEEK!  We hope you enjoy this episode.
