This summer, Team Injinji Athlete and ultrarunner Tara Dower is lining up at the Western States 100, Hardrock 100 Endurance and chasing the FKT on the John Muir Trail. It’s a full calendar with big goals.
The races, Tara says, are only a small part of the story. “Most of the experience lives in the training. The quiet hours, the constant crunch of trails under my feet, the steady build of miles that slowly shape everything.”
This Spotify playlist (curated by Tara) is a reflection of that space. It’s inspired by Tara’s long days in the mountains, moving with intention, usually with good friends, “where conversations drift and time stretches out in a way that feels rare in this day and age.”
A few songs are a nod to her FKT on the Appalachian Trail, where Tara first discovered what long days on the trail could mean, and where that spark for adventure first began.
“Mostly, I just hope these songs bring you somewhere good — whether that’s out on a run, on a long drive, or just letting your mind wander a little.” -Tara Dower.
