Division I Speed Unleashed on Mountains with Lars Hogne and Tyler Sheedy

<p>This week I sat down with Lars Hogne and Tyler Sheedy. A couple young mountain crushers with a cross country and track &amp; field background. They both ran in Division I at URI and have brought that speed to the trail running scene. Lars is coming off a 7th place finish at the US Mountain Running championships at Sunapee Scramble. Tyler already has multiple race wins under his belt this year and is gearing up for the Vermont 100 miler in a few weeks. We talked about their background, running in college, some of their trail races to date, shoes, upcoming plans and much more. Very fun conversation and it will be fun to see what these two do in the future.</p><p>HOW TO FIND LARS AND TYLER:</p><p>Instagram:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tyler_sheedy103/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/tyler_sheedy103/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mtnlars/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/mtnlars/</a></p><p>Stava:</p><p><a href="https://www.strava.com/athletes/58792500?oq=lars" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.strava.com/athletes/58792500?oq=lars</a></p><p><a href="https://www.strava.com/athletes/43883372?oq=tyler" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.strava.com/athletes/43883372?oq=tyler</a> </p><p>Tyler’s Youtube:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@tylersheedy8578" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/@tylersheedy8578</a></p><p>I&#39;ve tried a lot of different trail running gear over the years and have refined my ideal kit for the mountains.

Its a high stack height but I like that for running fast down steep descents. The Speedgoat 7 is my favorite version so far. It&#39;s lighter, and slightly reduced stack from the old version and I have been loving it.</p><p>La Sportiva Prodigio Pro: <a href="http://rei.pxf.io/0GB7gP" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">rei.pxf.io/0GB7gP</a> OR <a href="https://amzn.to/3T1u0Qi" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://amzn.to/3T1u0Qi</a>  </p><p>My top pick for a super shoe in technical terrain. Light, fast, and has really good grip. Mid tier stack so fairly stable but also has some cush to absorb downhill impact. These shoes want to go.</p><p>Saucony Endorphin Speed 5: <a href="http://rei.pxf.io/6kR90V" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">rei.pxf.io/6kR90V</a> OR <a href="https://amzn.to/4wGHWh5" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://amzn.to/4wGHWh5</a>  </p><p>One of my favorite pair of road trainers. An uptempo, fast shoe which I use on my road runs to work on turnover and speed. </p><p>⛰️ESSENTIAL TRAIL RUNNING GEAR:</p><p>GPS Watch: <a href="http://rei.pxf.io/VOjena" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">rei.pxf.io/VOjena</a> OR <a href="https://amzn.to/4wT0bQq" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://amzn.to/4wT0bQq</a>  </p><p>In my experience, Garmin has the best GPS accuracy in thick, dense forest in the Northeast. I trust the mileage and vert data from Garmin over any other watch.</p><p>Running Vest: <a href="http://rei.pxf.io/zzD3We" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">rei.pxf.io/zzD3We</a> OR <a href="https://amzn.to/4feeEzr" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://amzn.to/4feeEzr</a>  </p><p>Salomon
