Tommy posted recently about not being 'soft' and it started a thoughtful discussion around being 'soft' and the implications on masculinity and toxic masculinity.

Tommy is one of the great running voices in my opinion championing running as a means of help and hope for the whole person, not just their fitness.

• There are 14.8 Million trail runners in America and maybe 50,000 who care about elite trail running events in some form or fashion. What do we do with this?
• Down with the trail running gatekeepers.

Cam Hanes' post that we referenced.

Bad Runners Take is a take on trail running current events - sometimes unique, counter, and other times cookie cutter. But we promise we always come to the episode trying to think honestly.

Gatekeepers can only stop us if we let them. Any one and every one is welcome on public trail to run however they want, in whatever gear they want, as slow as they want. They can walk the whole time and call themselves a trail runner.

Let's bust down the gates and let everyone in.

This is a paired down version of a much longer episode of Redefine the Game with Francisco Fonseca.

Wolfie joins Josh on another Bad Runners Take where they look at current events and offer unique perspectives.

• Why does Courtney Dauwalter do more with Cam Haines than the expected trail running news outlets like Singletrack or Freetrail?
• Max Jolliffe goes to Bare Nutrition Products (BPN)
• Can the Arizona Monster dethrone Cocodona as the premier 200+ mile race
• Does the recent contraversy around Candice matter?

Our goal on these episodes is not to be critical. Rather, its to bring new perspectives to trail running in hopes of showing that more takes is better for the growing industry.
