FlowCast #35 | "The Runs" with Josh and Dan
Josh Chessman and Dan Growden are two close friends of ours who are also incredible endurance athletes. They've put together a unique trail run get-together at Haroldtown Conservation Area in Peterborough for November 30. In this episode we dive into what inspired this challenge for them, how to participate, and the tips and tricks (or lack thereof) that Dan and Josh will be using to perform their best at this event.
