"The Dirt" Trailrunning Podcast

Coach Loretta and Coach Lindsay sit down with Dr. Scott McLean (Michigan Medicine) to talk all things sun protection for runners, along with a new initiative called Sunbeasts. They cover why runners are especially at risk for sun damage, how to monitor moles and skin changes, and practical ways to protect yourself—like choosing effective SPF, reapplying strategies, and using protective clothing. The conversation also touches on real-world application at major endurance events like UTMB, Western States (WSER), and the Huron 100.
