#15 Matt Chittim | MidPack Rambling and Dissecting the Run Media Landscape

The MidPacker Pod is Presented by Freetrail. You can now support the MidPacker Pod on Patreon. Today, Troy Meadows talks with Matt Chittim. Matt should need no introduction as the host of the Rambling Runner Podcast and one of the founders and co-creatives at Relay. He is also a masters runner and father and recently started dabbling on the trails. They talk about several topics, including how Rambling Runner came to be, the new updates to the Boston Marathon qualifying standard, Matt running his first 50K, and his upcoming race at the Womp Romp 50K in a few weeks. This race is put on by OG Freetrailer and the first guest on this pod, Matt Hoadley. In true Matt Chitrim fashion, this conversation rambles along, dissecting a few run media-related topics, and these two have a fantastic time doing it.  Womp Romp Race Series Womp Romp is Looking for volunteers for their race coming up on Oct 21st.
