Welcome to the Lost Trail Runner podcast, where today, we're discussing the challenges and strategies of maintaining fitness during the winter months. Join me as I travel to Athens, Georgia in my mobile recording studio, and share insights on how the drop in temperatures is shaping my training routine.

This episode delves into the adjustments required for winter training, including leveraging indoor bike trainers for consistent exercise despite freezing conditions. I explore the benefits of cross-training and how it fits into my winter strategy, aimed at improving performance for an upcoming 5K race in February.

Listen in as I update on my recent workouts and share personal reflections on the importance of perseverance in both training and life challenges. As the festive season approaches, I also take a moment to wish listeners well during the holidays.
