Chasing Trail
Chasing Trail is the trail running interview show you didn’t know you needed—and maybe still don’t. Hosted by Teddy Tonelli (aka Teddy Toes), this show takes elite and everyday trail runners off the beaten path for unfiltered, hilarious, and slightly unhinged conversations.
Forget the motivational speeches and training breakdowns—this is about the weird side of trail running. Hallucinations at mile 80? Check. Blister horror stories? Definitely. The bizarre things runners eat mid-race? Oh yeah.
