Trail running is on the rise, and in this episode of The I Don’t Know Running Podcast, we dive into the stats proving it! 📈🏃‍♀️ With participation skyrocketing, races getting longer, and more runners shifting from road to trail, we explore why this trend is set to explode in 2025.

Along the way, Lewis shares his eventful morning (featuring dog poop and a high-speed Audi ride), Mitch updates us on his recovery and first steps, and we discuss just how tough it is to get into the New York City Marathon.
