Lee “Flick” Welton thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2018. As he was preparing for the trek in 2017, he found that there weren’t a lot of great resources that focused on training for long distance thru-hikes, so he founded Trailside Fitness, where he provides personal, online training for aspiring thru-hikers, helping them prepare and complete their thru-hikes injury-free.

About PatrickHaling from the infamous beaches of the Jersey Shore, Patrick moved to the west coast in search of adventure and queer community.

Patrick has been climbing since he was 18 years old and started guiding in 2019. Through guiding he loves to share his passion for climbing and the outdoors. In his spare time, he is also an artist and amateur chef!

On this episode: Quiet quitting, rest, walks in nature, and sea turtles. We’re talking with Jill Rose, a life coach for women working in the realm of burn-out. She helps women find rest, which can seem to run counter to the active outdoor lifestyle, but is necessary to refuel the tank.
We talk about the layers of rest, and how rest can help us be happier, better balanced and ultimately perform better in other areas of our lives.
Before you do anything in the morning, get centered.
Jill RoseOur conversation ran the gamut, covering the impact of social media, how rest looks different for each of us, and practical ways to “reset” during this busy season.
We close the podcast with Jill leading us in a short breathing exercise that you can take with us.

On this episode: Norman’s 13, rubrics, and 100 FKTs. We’re talking with Jason Hardrath, badass hiker, running, and collector of FKTs.
Jason was a world-class triathlete until he went through the windshield in a car accident. Doctors said he’d have to leave that part of his life behind, and front that point, he was determined to come back. During his recovery he got to the point where he could hike. From hiking, he started peak-bagging. And soon, he was doing more technical climbs that required acquiring new skills.
Since then, he’s gone on to accumulate 115 (and counting) historical fastest known time (FKT) records.
Jason’s story is an incredible inspirational tale of rehabilitation, grit and determination. We talk about the experience of some of his FKTs, the missed FKTs, and inspiring his students (he’s an elementary phys-ed teacher when he’s not collecting FKTs).
PLUS… we learn about the process behind the creation of the film, Journey to 100, documenting his FKT on the Bulger 100.
