Canyon Woodward's Unconventional Path | Learning by Doing, Community Organizing, & Humanity's Interdependence
11 juni 2026 · 1 uur 29 min
Canyon Woodward is pro trail runner for Patagonia from Franklin, NC. Canyon has proven himself to be among the most consistent long-course athletes in America, finishing top five at three golden ticket races in a six-month timespan: Javelina Jundred (3rd), Black Canyon 100k (4th), and Canyons 100k (5th). Carrying a lot of fitness and competitive momentum, Canyon will be a factor at Western States later this month -- a goal he's been chasing for several years. Lees meer
But Canyon is much more than just a talented runner. He's made his career working in politics and community organizing where he's fought for his values in the public domain – things like rural communities, environmentalism, and conservation, which we discuss at length in the episode.
Also part of our conversation is Canyon's recently signing with Patagonia – the iconic outdoor brand that takes a leadership role in the industry and globally around the things that Canyon cares about – the collision of his running career and his career as an environmentalist and activist coming together is an exciting new partnership. This is his first appearance on the podcast.
Topics:
– Canyon's fascinating childhood and ppbringing
– His education and discovering his knack for community organizing
– Getting into politics and running a 100% positive campaign
– the political power of rural communities
– Of course we explore the origins of his running prowess
– the value of learning by doing
– Consistency and Success in Racing
– Navigating Sponsorships and The new Partnership with Patagonia
– Preparing for Western States
– The Pacer Debate in Ultra Running
– Goals for Western States
– And a lot more
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front -- The poem recited at the end of the episode

Emelie Forsberg's Second Act | Motherhood, Mountains, & Reprioritizing Elite Competition
28 mei 2026 · 1 uur 7 min
Emelie Forsberg is one of the great trail runners of the last two decades. In the early 2010s, Emelie was a dominant force on the racing circuit, accumulating wins and podium performances at some of the sport's most important races.

Now a mother of three, Emelie is ready to re-prioritize racing again, starting at Transvulcania a few weeks ago where she finished on the podium with a very strong third-place performance.
Emelie has also been a key contributor to two ambitious startups in the sport, Moon Valley Nutrition and NNormal. This is her first appearance on the podcast.
