Looking for the 'lost tree'

from The Running Jackal · host Jackal

Blog Post: "The Missing Tree and an Unexpected Running Lesson"Yesterday’s trail run turned into a bit of a scavenger hunt and a masterclass in peer motivation. I set out to find a particular pair of trees I’d photographed years ago—two of the same species, once joined by a root, forming a strange and beautiful bond in the forest. After weeks of misremembering its exact location, I finally stumbled upon them again, only to find the connecting root broken—likely removed for safety. That bittersweet rediscovery became the backdrop to another unexpected highlight: running into my old friend Rob, the very person who got me into ultrarunning. Running side by side, we unknowingly pushed each other to a pace far quicker than either of us had managed solo in ages, a living reminder that shared effort often pulls greatness out of us—even if it leaves our aging legs grumbling.Looking for the 'Lost Tree'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-running-jackal--500980/support.
