Meet your hosts
Ashley Arnold
Ashley Arnold is a Montana-based writer, brand strategist, podcast host, trail runner and mom of two very young feral boys. Her work explores running, motherhood, identity and the ways time outside shapes who we become. She’s nearing her fourth decade and has been running for close to three of them — from track runner to trail ultramarathoner to someone who is, more often than not, doing too much at far too fast a pace. Ashley brings honesty, grit, a little chaos and a lot of questions to the conversation. Not because she has it all figured out, but because she’s right there in the middle of it, too.
Rebecca "Trax" Trachsel
Rebecca Trachsel, better known as Trax, is a Boston-area runner, writer, high school cross country and track coach, music lover and mom of two. She has been running since fifth grade, started marathoning after her second daughter was born and brings the “10 years ahead” perspective to conversations about training, motherhood, ambition and change. Don’t let the fact that she’s a bit more seasoned — fine, older — fool you: she still has plenty of ambition in the tank and plenty of questions, too.
Fleet Feet was founded by two women in 1976 and is proud to continue supporting women at every stage of their running journey as a founding partner of Still Running. A community-based retailer, Fleet Feet helps runners find the right shoes and gear through complimentary one-on-one fittings and expert guidance at more than 280 locally owned stores nationwide.
