BIG ANNOUNCEMENT | Launch of Pyllars
In this episode, we announce the launch of a new project called Pyllars. Pyllars is a mobile app platform built for runners who want to improve as athletes and as human beings. The core philosophy is that our athletic success comes down to two fundamental pillars that are equally important – our physical fitness AND our emotional fitness. Oftentimes athletes emphasize the former at the expense of the latter, sometimes with detrimental personal consequences. Pyllars is committed to supporting athletes as they strive to reach their athletic potential, while also providing tools for maintaining a healthy and balanced internal environment. We believe this 360-degree approach to the athlete produces the best long-term outcomes on and off the racecourse. We hope you'll join our community and become part of the movement. ***IMPORTANT*** Starting January 1st and going forward, this podcast will rebrand to become The Pyllars Podcast. You won't have to resubscribe. It will begin appearing in your feed under the new name in the new year. pyllars.com Follow @pyllars on IG

Abby Hall | Unsupported on the John Muir Trail
Abby Hall is an ultrarunner and graphic designer from Boulder, CO. This past summer Abby tackled the 220 mile John Muir Trail (Nuumu Poyo) in California in unsupported fashion. And in the year of the FKT, I think Abby's JMT speed record attempt was maybe the one I found the most inspiring. And it was inspiring not only because of Abby's proud solo style on the trail but also how she told the story of the history of the trail and paid respects to that heritage both in her attempt and on social media. We talk about that here in this episode along with Abby's background, her previous failed attempt on the route, why she chose to go unsupported this time, the details of her approach as it relates to pacing, gear, and sleep on such a long push, her dramatic finish amid the smoke of a terrible nearby wildfire, and much more.
