"Everyone has a story if you take time to read it." On Episode 143 of the Big Ass Runner Trail Running Podcast, we talk about why it is important to remember everyone has their own unique story and may be living through a difficult chapter. By understanding someone's story, we can better appreciate the challenges they may be facing and offer appropriate support and encouragement. And we asked you to share your biggest obstacles to hitting your trail running goals - and the data scientists have calculated the results. You may be surprised what they found and what three buckets most obstacles fall into. Plus, we make a big announcement about a Big Ass Runner Herd Meet-up in October.New YouTube channel ->YouTubeBigAssRunner.comMore content on IG @big_ass_runnerWe recommend Trail Running apparel at Path ProjectsWe recommend Trail Shorts Liners and Socks from XOSkin, discount code "BAR" for 10% offWe recommend Woman's apparel and Rain jackets from Janji We recommend Blaze Trails for races in the greater north Texas area We recommend Trail Running jackets and vests at Vander JacketWe recommend Chafing Cream at Salty Britches, discount code "bigassrunner" for 20% offWe recommend Nutrition Guidance with NutriworksStarting a podcast?
