StrongJaegerCoach NatalieOh My! I have only seen Natalie in passing at her aid station at Kettle but I feel so connected with what she’s saying! Natalie would be the coach for me!! I am in the busy season of life with kids too.
-
jbird8888A little more conversationA question and answer session is usually not the same thing as a good interview.
-
smokey ejWorth a listen!This podcast is great for anyone interested in learning more- even if you have never stepped foot on a trail beginner or are an experienced runner Michele Hartwig and her team have created a podcast that lifts up Midwest trail running (with some other sports thrown in too). They have interviews with the big names but also some great gems like the loyal volunteers of the Hennepin 100 or Ryan Steiner on how running helped him to loose weight and gave him a vehicle to find community as an Autistic person. It’s a great reflection of what is being built at Ornery Mule Racing, Kindness, Community and ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Check it out!!
-
Rich PyeFantastic!I’m hooked! I just discovered this podcast yesterday and have already listened to three and watched one live on YouTube. Michele and Krystal are such real, down-to-earth, “real” people. If you enjoy running you owe it to yourself to listen!
-

Steves SubscriptionsEntertaining & EnlightningThe Dirt is so trail. Ornery Mule Racing is organic as it gets. I love the vibe of this show. The guests and Michele Hartwig and her hosts have me laughing and learning in every episode. This is my new favorite go-to trail running podcast. The Dirt gets an Arbor Rock Running 5-star endorsement.

MerganVMeganV4 Episodes in and I'm really impressed! I listen to a lot of ultra running podcasts, and this one is top notch. I've really liked their pick of guests. They ask great questions and it's refreshing to hear the stories of non-elite runners doing amazing things.
