The Freetrail Podcast with Dylan Bowman

Rest Day Live is back tonight!

On a slow news week, we're doing something a little different. Joined by Meg Eckert, fresh off her six-day World Record run, we'll discuss the effort itself and multi-day racing more generally.

Joining us as co-host, Rachel Entrekin will help interview Meg and contribute her own hard-earned insights as well.

We'll be LIVE on YouTube starting at 5pm PT tonight.
