This week on the I Don’t Know Running Podcast, Lewis and Mitch are soaking in race week vibes — the California Fall Classic 100K is here, and Lewis hopes he’s celebrating a finish by the time you hear this one!
Between healthy-eating jokes, beet salad debates, and a surprise virtual 100-miler signup attempt 🤣, the guys dive into something we all need more of: getting off the pavement and finding peace on the trails.
Join them as they unpack:
🌲 Why trail running (and time in nature) is proven to lower stress and boost mental health
🏙️ How city life quietly drains us — and what to do about it
👣 Real stories from the trail — including close encounters with deer, snow runs, and mental resets
📱 The surprising impact of blue light and screen time on sleep and recovery
Whether you’re training for your next ultra, stuck in the city grind, or just need a reason to get outside — this episode will remind you why the trails call us back again and again.
🎧 Listen, laugh, and maybe even challenge yourself to a screen-free night before bed.
👉 Subscribe, like, and share this episode to help other runners find peace beyond the pavement.
