On The Runs

On Episode 110 we welcome Garrett Fredrick and Jason Atnip from the Trail Trash Podcast to our Pod.
The birth of the Trail Trash Podcasts began when Garrett texted Jason with the idea of starting a podcast. They both had previous podcasting experience and wanted to create a show that was relatable and entertaining. They found their identity by incorporating personal stories and experiences into their interviews with guests. The podcast covers a wide range of topics, from running and ultra marathons to family dynamics and everyday life. Garrett and Jason strive to maintain their relatability while also featuring expert guests in the running community. They have found success in balancing personal stories with informative interviews. The conversation covers various topics related to the running community, podcasting, ultra running, and the Trail Trash Podcast. The hosts discuss the challenges of starting and maintaining a podcast, the importance of having a clear path and identity, and the significance of reaching episode 17. They also share their experiences with ultra running, including how they got into the sport and their participation in races like the Yeti 100. The conversation touches on the creation of the Trail Trash Podcast logo and the nickname for their mascot. They also talk about the Mountain Mist race and the humorous stories associated with it, including the Annabelle doll in the house they stay in. In this part of the conversation, Jason talks about taking time off from running ultra races and the high costs associated with them. He shares a humorous story about chafing during a race and the challenges of finding affordable accommodations. The conversation then shifts to discussing the 'code brown commandments' and ways to avoid unpleasant situations during races. The hosts also ask Jason and Garrett to add songs to their Spotify playlist. The conversation covered various topics including music preferences, race experiences, and the importance of family support. The hosts shared their favorite songs to listen to while running, ranging from reggae to metal.
