This is The Jess Walhof Broadcasting Network — On Air, a podcast about trail and ultra running — but really, it’s about becoming who you are meant to be. I’m your host, Jess Walhof, inviting you into conversations about resilience, wonder, and the quiet magic of putting one foot in front of the other. Out on the trail, we learn to move our mountain not by force, but by presence and persistence. And in that movement, we find joy in the journey.
Friend Lance Smith joins Jess on the podcast to talk about his most recent adventure on Trail #89 in the Black Hills. They also explore his other adventures on the trails, FKTs, his 'unconventional' training, running for a cause, and videography.
