Thinking about starting trail running but not sure where to begin? In this episode of Dirt Nap Diaries, I share the story of my very first group trail run (spoiler: I rolled my ankle), plus how my athlete Amanda faced her fear of running in the dark with a headlamp. You’ll hear real-world beginner trail running tips you can’t just Google — from managing nerves to staying safe around wildlife — and how to find the joy that keeps you coming back. Whether you’re new to trail running, returning after a break, or an experienced ultra runner hitting reset, this episode will help you start where your feet are and fall in love with the trails.
