Season 2 Episode 4 of the Running for Beginners podcast from the 22resolutionists, hosted by me Mike Fleming.

If you’ve been running for a year or so and starting to feel the itch for a new challenge, you’re not alone. A lot of second-year runners start asking: Could I run a full marathon? What’s trail running really like? Do people actually enjoy running 30+ miles?

In this month’s episode of the Running for Beginners podcast, I sat down with Tonya Weaver, a passionate trail and ultra runner who proves that going longer or heading off-road isn’t just for elites – it’s for anyone with the curiosity to try!

Road Running vs. Trail Running: What’s the Difference?

>Trail races aren’t about speed – they’re about the experience

>Hills, dirt, and uneven footing make it a mental and physical adventure

>Most trail runners walk the uphill’s – it’s expected and smart!
