Finn you are one of the best interviewers in the game. Always asking the best questions
Couldn't have said it better myself. To me, a trail runner's Rich Roll - extremely gifted in the long form interview/discussion. Great catch, getting Nick Bare on! Keep it up!
That means a lot - I genuinely love what I do 🙏
You really are Finn! Great chat
Totally agree with this. And I want to see a swap where someone interviews Finn!
I just went to post this exact same thing and then read it was the #1 comment already. Just subscribed, can't wait to dive in.
I was there at Foresthill and took a short video of Sally running and didnt realize Nick Bare was the pacer. I was also a pacer but started at Michigan Bluff. Cool stuff
Legitimately world class interviewing Finn. Not just great research like Sean Evans and Nardwar, but clearly a knack and desire to connect with people, think critically on the fly, and explore topics that we’d otherwise never get to. Love all of the content here and at CP. You’re going to be the sport’s voice for years to come. Thanks for all you do ✊🏼
I really appreciate that - I’ve been wanting to talk to Nick for a long time 🙏
This was potentially my favorite interview involving Nick. The variety of questions and experience that Finn brings to the table really allows them to work off each other and showcase how remarkable they both are
Woo! That makes my day reading this..thanks for watching
I only found Nick through Cam Hanes. I like to bow hunt, Cam has his crowd and brought Nick in because of his running. Nick had on Sally, and now you have Nick on and I for the first time ever followed Western States. We all have more in common than we know, and I enjoyed your interview.
Well said, I especially appreciate the commonality sentiment..thanks for watching..I learned a ton from both Sally and Nick
HECK YEAH 💪🔥🔥🔥🔥Well done men!!💪
Deeply appreciate of you for making the connection. Great job at States
Best range in podcasts from Jurek to Bare! Thank you singletrack!!!
Thank you for listening!
Best interview of the week. My first exposure to Nick was his interview with Sally. May 2022. I was horizontal for 10 days, recovering from R2R2R and Covid. That conversation kept me going. Love that you had him on Finn. Thank you!
Impressive you did R2R2R with Covid! Thanks for watching 🙏
I got Covid after r2r2r. The canyon broke me down and the rona came in to finish the job.
loved this convo, so stoked for two of my favorite figures in the running space to connect
woo! appreciate it
Glad to see the trail community embracing people like Nick. As a former collegiate football player who still lifts heavy and competes in ultras in CO I know the community can be standoffish to folks who don’t fit the mold of the typical distance runner.
I like Nick a lot
As a non traditional (heavy) trail runner also in Colorado, it's been my experience that the community in general is very welcoming. Maybe because I'm usually racing just to not be DFL, but that's my favorite thing about the community
This is great episode! Awesome that you have guests on from across the board, this was super interesting not really knowing much about Nick
much appreciated, as always!
Great work. Nick is great and lives local to me. Your WS coverage closed the gap with Freetrail. Keep it up
Appreciate it!
I love sally and nick, their podcasts are hilarious and inspiring! I hope they film him pacing her
I totally agree - really hoping they will drop some content around their WS100 experience.
One of my favorite interviews of 2024.
Means a lot to read that!
Great interview! The growth of ultra running has been significant - look at the number of 100’s now compared to 20 years ago. I also think that our sport embraces variety in events: fkt’s, fat ass events, last man standing, variety of ultra distances, and more. What makes one event shine brighter is the community involvement ( aid station volunteers) and that comes with race directors being connected to their community. Ultimately it’s up to us to create our own experience and decide if we enjoyed it or not: Talking with other runners or enjoying your solitude.
the variety of events and the community connection - agree!!
This is awesome as Nick has really won me over in the last year. It would be so damn hard to drop from an ultra if he was my pacer!! LOL
agree!!
Finn’s super power is that he will seemingly interview anybody in the space or adjacent to the space. Excellent interview
Really appreciate it 🙏
For a moment I thought someone is standing on the top left corner the whole time.Then I realised it was a poster 😄. Great Interview!
hahahahaha it was especially funny when we had the two guys on those posters in studio (Scott and Cole)
Finn always hitting off the park with the best interview questions.
means a lot, thanks for the praise and for tuning in
Love this interview glad to see nick there to pace sally tomorow also
what an experience for him at Western!
Two legends.
haha thank ya!
Please no more "making ultrarunning cooler". When it comes to being "cool", there will never be any brand involvement or memorable moment catering that can outdo 2 old ladies that volunteered at a town hall meeting, serving powdered gatorade and cut up kudo bars.
🫶🏻
I don’t think those two world are mutually exclusive. Western States 100 is a great example where you have both being worked on.
To your point about what’s missing - the sport is a majority white upper middle class activity and it brings along the social mores and attitudes of that group. I think if the sport is serious about growing, it’ll have to be able to adjust to cater for a variety of people, backgrounds, and so on.
agree
Not really. It's substantially grown BC of Goggins over the last several years. All this race, color, background BS is what henders society. Those who do, do regardless of skin of all that shit.
@@santeria720 you only need to observe the sport at any competitive level to know that’s not true, though.
Fantastic!
Yesss
thanks!
Good interview. However, Mike Tyson has a better shot at being Jim Walmsley in a race than this man has at being natural and not on gear. Hats off to him for bringing people in but it doesn’t seem right.
