Tales from the Trailhead
by Janey
Tales from the Trailhead is an outdoor lifestyle and personal growth podcast exploring hiking, backpacking, trail running, and road running through real personal stories, timely outdoor news, and honest reflections. We cover current events, gear, seasonal shifts, and training, always looking through the lens of how time outside shapes who we are when the shoes come off. Designed for multi-passionate runners, backpackers, and outdoor lovers, this audio journal examines the deep connection between movement and mindset, using effort not to chase numbers, but to build resilience and presence.
