Breaking Trail

An exploration of outdoor adventure as a metaphor for life. Every other week, we talk to players in the outdoor and nonprofit world; in land conservation, recreation, and education to uncover stories that make the world a better place.

Rather than prescription, these stories serve as lessons and inspiration. Past guests have won Olympic Gold (Kikkan Randall), are empowering survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault through therapy and mountain biking (Jeannine Anders), and make adaptive sports accessible to the backcountry (Vasu Sojitra).

This show is for those who prefer to define your own idea of success and break trail to get there.

Brian Harder on ACL Injury: Advice from an Impatient Patient

June 21, 2018 by Lisa Gerber Leave a Comment

We don’t want to think about it but I’m sure lots of us do. What happens if/when we blow our knee? What does it mean when that happens; what are the mechanics that contribute to it; what choices need to be made for treatment and recovery? There are many things to consider, and today, Brian Harder, a frequent guest and good friend shares his philosophy, sadly, from personal experience.

Mike Ehredt on Trail Running and Treating Yo-self – To Nice Running Shoes

June 7, 2018 by Lisa Gerber Leave a Comment

No shoe is made for all runners. We have to take things like running conditions, the terrain you’re running on and your own biomechanics to choose the right shoe for you. And remember, just like the best marketing can’t fix product or business problems, the best shoe alone will not fix your biomechanic or take you to first place.

Sarah Wood on Progression: From Beginner to Kicking Ass

May 25, 2018 by Lisa Gerber Leave a Comment

This is a story about someone who led a varied career that might seem, to the uninitiated, sort of disjointed but turned into a very natural progression of one thing leading to the next. Sarah ended up with a unique combination of experiences and skills to land her where she is now, doing what she loves. (For those of us who feel like we are wandering aimlessly, maybe don’t worry about that so much anymore and let it ride.)

April 14, 2018 by Lisa Gerber Leave a Comment

The last time I did a big race which for me is 25k trail mountain run, I posted on instagram (are you following me on instagram by the way?) a photo of my favorite recovery meal – Hammer Nutrition Recoverite drink, strawberry flavored, and cheddar cheese flavored Kettle Chips. Today, we’ll learn why that’s not such an awesome idea, in case you thought it was.
