The male and female course records at Western States are stout.

Will the current course records held by Jim Walmsley (14:09 in 2019) and Courtney Dauwalter (15:29 in 2023) respectively fall during the 2025 running of WSER?

As a fan, we just want a great race regardless of times, but both fields are poised to attack the CRs.

If only one CR falls, whose is most likely to go? Courtney's or Jim's?

Manchester's own Inky Steve joins Josh to talk about the intersection of trail running shoes and sneaker culture.

It's best couched in a quote from High Fidelity - "What really matters is what you like, not what you are like."

We wear the shoes that we like and most often we choose based on looks. We run in them, we like how they look and thus like how we look. And we run better, whatever that means.
