Singletrack Cascaudio

We’ve started the next 100 episodes with a special SingleTrack, after dark. What was different? We added drinks and recorded after the sun set. Mathias ran a 5k around his house, which led us to a conversation about how to interact with the trail running community during Covid-19. We chat about Unbreakable: the Western States 100 feature film, hear about Doug getting back to running after an injury and finally get to incredible recipes to make. We decided to mixed things up a bit and invited four friends of the show to share their favorite quarantine/lock down recipes and talked about a few of our own. This show made us hungry to run and eat. Six feet apart, of course. Links to all our guest's recipes at outdoor-society.com

For this 100th episode, amidst a global pandemic Doug and Mathias don't have much to celebrate. Trail races are cancelled all over the world, people are discouraged to congregate and Mathias is slowly running out of flour... But, we still have each other, we still have adventures out our back door, we still have daylights, and sunsets and cups of coffee... How do you measure, measure a year podcast?

It's a show for the end of the world... or so it it feels. Doug is injured, Kaiser Woods dances with Mathias, races are canceled and training plans are made for these desperate times. Stay healthy, friends, stay healthy.

Doug suspends his campaign, finally. Mathias forgets his water on his long run, like a noob. They discuss Walmsley at the Olympic Trials, proper nutrition on long runs and what adventure experiences do to the human psyche. We need more of it. Thanks for tuning in every week - means the world to us!

The recent search and rescue event out at the Duckabush on the Olympic Peninsula make your favorite podcasters re-up the conversation about safety in the backcountry. Do not be complacent. Go prepared, check things twice, bring your stuff and tell people where you’re going. Also, running shoes are purchased, orientation runs are organized and jokes are made about tiny houses.

Hey, Doug and Mathias got to run together, in real life, that was fun, and it was at Kaiser. The team discusses all the new 100 mile races that are popping up in the PNW and Mathias reviews the Nathan ExoDraw handheld from last week in more details. The first orientation run at Kaiser is announced. All the fun in the neighborhood!

It's product review time here in the Singletrack studios. Doug and Mathias talk about the new Biolite headlamps, a Teton Sports backpacks, Boca Gear hats, and Nathan hydration vests. Since we're already reviewing stuff, of course we have to talk about that NYT article about Jim Wamsley too. Oh, and don't forget socks, so many awesome, socks!

Mathias finds a pocket in the weather window and marvels at the man-made alpine on timber land. Doug runs with some tailwind and shares some road closure updates due to severe flooding... and, well climate change.

This week's episode is all about the Pacific Crest Trail, and the weather, of course the weather.
