The Trail Snails – Details, episodes & analysis

It’s race week! Dead Cow Gully is around the corner and the Snails chat last minute preparations for our races. We go through a few of the top dogs - the elite men and woman who could be set for some huge totals this year. And of course our new favourite segment - Duncan’s Conundrum!

Good luck to everyone running and crewing at the Gully! Make sure you come say hello and grab a Heaps Normal beer from the boys!

Ciao mi amores! This episode the lads have a catch up with plenty of shit talk, gripes with technical trails, Montoya Por Favor and big bag of snail mail!

We are joined by Brisbane based podiatrist and personal trainer Matt McKean! Matty proved to be a wealth of knowledge - this was our most informative episode yet! We bust some common podiatry misconceptions, chat about the benefits of strength work, get Matt’s thoughts on running shoe options and much more!
