Welcome back to the Talking Shop Podcast! This is episode six. This week we had the honor of chatting with Corrine Malcolm. Corrine is the editor in chief at Freetrail, a co-host of the Trail Society Podcast, a running coach, co-founder of Here’s for the Women’s Race, incredible advocate of diversity and inclusion at HOKA, and of course, a professional trail runner for HOKA. Join our conversation as we get a behind the scenes look at how Here for the Women’s Race started and where it’s gotten to now, as well as Corrine’s numerous different hats she wears in her career. Of course we had to end things with some of Corrine’s favorite HOKA gear right now. Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.

In the first episode of Talking Shop, we’re getting into what it’s really like to open and run a specialty running store - the good, the challenges, and all the stuff in between. We also take a look at tariffs, and how they’re hitting the running industry in some surprising ways.
