Exciting announcement! We've rebranded! We are now the Trail Mix Podcast! Same nonsense as always, just with a new name.

Its always a mind fuck when you are presented with a surprise day off from running. Whether you're traveling, having a particularly busy day, or just don't want to run in the rain there will be days where you just can't fit a run in despite your best efforts. We try to answer when this is ok to do and when you should push through and get it done. Spoiler...we aren't totally sure ourselves. We also discuss refereeing middle school soccer and why you should put your dog on a leash.

This week we go over all our true facts and hot takes about running with your dog. As a former dog trainer and off leash dog walker (Nina), and a current dog owner (Kara) we talk about all our tips and tricks for running with your dog, including our favorite leashes, harness, dog booties etc. Need a coach or sports nutritionist? Give Nina a shout!
