Send us a text Feeling the pulse of the trail beneath my feet, I've often wondered about the stories that each runner carries with them—their triumphs, their struggles, and the wisdom born from both. In our latest episode, that curiosity comes to life as we chat with Sean Rimmer, a physical therapist with a penchant for mountain running and a heart set on the Buffalo Marathon. Sean's tale is one of athletic evolution, a journey from college lacrosse to the challenging peaks of ultra-running. We traverse not just his personal milestones but also unravel his professional insights into staving off the injuries that can derail a runner's dreams. Imagine feeling the wind on your face, the wild terrain stretching out before you, as you push through one more mile—this is where Sean and I find our common ground. Our conversation navigates the rugged beauty of the Royal Gorge, the rush of pre-race nerves, and the meticulous strategies behind our training regimens. There's a shared excitement in our voices as we talk about upcoming races and the allure of remote challenges like the Alaskan Cirque series. This episode isn't just about the exhilaration of the sport; it's a testament to the meticulous preparation and the often-overlooked importance of bone health and nutrition that keeps us runners in prime racing form. But what happens when the trail ends and the only footsteps you hear are those of mystery? Sean and I don't shy away from the playful side of running lore, exploring tales of Bigfoot sightings, the whispers of grizzlies in Colorado, and the enigmatic presence of the unknown that can make a runner's heartbeat quicken for reasons beyond physical exertion. So, whether you're lacing up your running shoes for the hundredth time, dreaming of your first marathon finish line, or simply indulging in the legends of the trail, this episode promises a blend of grounded advice and wild wonderment.
