    EP 761: Take This 33-Question Test to See What Kind of Trail Runner You Really Are

    EP 761: Take This 33-Question Test to See What Kind of Trail Runner You Really Are

    December 26, 2025
    1h 4m

    In this lighthearted, game-show–style episode, we try and answer the age-old question: Am I really a trail runner?

    Audience participation is a must as we work through 33 humorous and painfully relatable statements covering gear habits, weather and suffering, aid stations, trail culture, injuries, and even bathroom logistics. You keep score to discover whether you're a noob, veteran, grizzled trail runner, or full-blown OG.

    Along the way, we share personal stories, questionable decisions, and plenty of laughs that anyone who's spent time on the trail will recognize.

    It's participatory, self-aware, and a reminder that trail running is as much about community and mindset as miles and pace. Grab your scorecard (or fingers), protect your dignity, and find out just how trail you really are.
