In 2018, the Carr Fire burn hundreds of thousands of acres of forest land and over a thousand homes in the Redding area of Northern California. Ryan Spitz had just taken over as owner and race director of Shasta Trail Runs. I talked to Ryan about the fire, the running community and what Shasta Trail Runs plans for 2019 and beyond. It was pleasure speaking with him and I know you'll enjoy it too!

Send us a text#8 - Healthy eating and weight control are huge part of the running equation. What we eat affects how we run. Sure, we may be able to get away with eating anything and everything when we're younger, but as we age, our diet shows up in our running times. Although we may not be running for time, it is still good to help ourselves through eating right. I go over some popular eating plans and what we can do to help ourselves. Remember: we are all works in progress.
