Nathan Allen is a professional journalist and editor who also happens to love running and trail running. A former collegiate cross country and track athlete, Nathan began obsessing over trail running upon moving to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He has won two marathons — one on the trails and one on the roads, but both in Steamboat. More into training as a fun and daily ritual, he still occasionally hops into local races on the trails and roads. Nathan lives in Ventura County with his partner, Marta.
