Podcast appearances and mentions of Jim Walmsley

In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine Malcolm, Keely Henninger, and Hillary Allen dive into one of the biggest weeks in trail running, the 2025 UTMB Finals. From brutal weather and historically high dropout rates to some of the closest top-10 finishes ever, the crew breaks down all the drama across OCC, CCC, and UTMB. They highlight standout wins from Jim Walmsley, Ruth Croft, and Francesco Puppi, celebrate trailblazing performances from athletes representing countries new to the UTMB stage, and reflect on the growing but still uneven women's participation numbers. Beyond the race results, they explore what it means for athletes to double between UTMB, Hardrock, and upcoming World Championships, and touch on the ever-buzzing brand scene in Chamonix. Beyond the race, the crew highlights systemic challenges in sport: Strava and For All Mothers+ awarded $2,000 grants to 50 athlete-mothers to cover childcare costs and training expenses, directly addressing the “motherhood penalty” that prevents so many women from competing at the highest level. Tune in for a mix of insights, stories from the ground, and the unique perspective only this crew can bring.

We loaded up on sympathy baguettes for UTMB racers before recording this great episode! The main topic was digesting everything from UTMB week, including Jim Walmsley reinforcing his GOAT status, Courtney Dauwalter reinforcing hers, the coolest coaching story ever from Scott Johnston (who coached Ruth Croft and Tom Evans to UTMB wins), training takeaways, and so much more! The science breakdown looked at a new study that is being used to argue that low carb doesn't hurt high-intensity performance. We dive into the study design and statistics to show why that's the wrong conclusion. And this one had so many great topics! Other topics: going dark on the trails, Megan's new fast shoe, our trail supershoe rundown, the new Champion Plan for 100k to 100 miles, the minimum dose of passive heat training, using weight vests, what makes a good coach, a relationship question, relying on liquid carbs, engaging the glutes, drinking from streams, and climbing form.What's for dinner? We'll take the European Aid Station--baguettes, sausage, cheese, sparkling water, techno music, and being unable to drop out due to the language barrier.We love you all!

Dans cet épisode je vous propose une rencontre avec Baptiste Morel, chercheur à l'université Savoie-Montblanc. Il a mené une étude sur l'UTMB 2023 sous l'angle du rapport entre force et vitesse par rapport à la pente.Tout est parti d'un zoom sur les performances de Kilian Jornet et Jim Walmsley sur l'édition 2022.Avec son équipe, ils ont d'abord étudié les vitesses de course sur des portions de 100m sur l'intégralité du parcours. Cela leur a permis de constater sur quel type de portions l'écart s'est finalement fait entre eux deux.En 2023, ils ont pu reproduire l'analyse sur Jim et constater l'amélioration de ses points faibles, qui l'ont mené à la victoire. Mais ce n'est pas tout : cette année-là, ils ont travaillé sur environ 400 traces pour comparer les vitesses à plat, en pente, sur des petits groupes de niveau homogène.Ce travail a révélé de nombreux résultats très intéressants, confirmant aussi par les chiffres que les descentes de plus de 7-8% sont généralement juges de paix et marquent la différence de performance entre les athlètes top élite et les coureurs de “milieu de peloton”.Ce genre d'information pourrait finalement contribuer à donner, individuellement, des pistes de compréhension et d'amélioration des qualités des athlètes.De belles perspectives pour l'avenir de l'entraînement !Je vous souhaite une bonne écoute !Liens entendus dans l'épisode :Publicationscientifique UTMB 2023 - 408 sportifsVidéoYoutube : Colloque "Le trail et l'ultra trail, tout un monde" I Conférence Baptiste Morel - UCO-IFEPSA STAPS 49Episode Jason KOOP #243 : Insights from Ultramarathon Pacing Strategies with Baptiste Morale | KoopCast #243Outil PrédictrailNewsletter Rémi Rivet --NB : Aucune rétribution n'est accordée aux podcasteurs de la part des plateformes de diffusionAucune publicité n'est diffusée sur le LTPLe seul moyen de faire en sorte que tout le travail réalisé puisse être rétribué et que le podcast puisse perdurer est d'apporter votre soutien financier via la plateforme PATREON : Pour soutenir le projet et intégrer la communauté des Patrailons c'est par là :https://www.patreon.com/lets_trail_le_podcastHébergé par Ausha.

Send us a textGet ready for an exhilarating UTMB OCC race preview that blends expert analysis with laugh-out-loud banter! James Lariello teams up with Teddy Tonelli from the Chasing Trail podcast to break down this iconic 55K mountain race that features over 11,000 feet of climbing through some of the most spectacular terrain in the Alps.The duo dives deep into what makes OCC special - from its technical course that prohibits switchback cutting to the mandatory gear requirements that add an extra layer of challenge. With forecasts showing potential rain and temperatures ranging from 48-68°F, the stage is set for an unpredictable battle on the trails.At the heart of this preview is the much-anticipated showdown between Jim Walmsley and Adam Peterman, two American ultra-running stars rarely seen competing in the same race. Has Walmsley's move to France (and his newly acquired French accent, as the hosts joke) given him the European edge? Can Peterman, coming back from injuries, reclaim his position among the elite? The hosts also highlight other Americans to watch including Michelino Sanseri and rising star Cade Michael.On the women's side, defending champion and course record holder Mao Yao returns to face stiff competition from Switzerland's Judith Weider and a strong American contingent led by Hannah Allgood and Sophia Lockley. Canadian Jasmine Lather, fresh off setting records on the Grand Teton, brings her exceptional climbing ability into the mix.Between the analysis, Teddy and James deliver hilarious commentary on everything from European shower habits to the dangers of aggressive Alpine cows, making this preview as entertaining as it is informative. Their chemistry shines through as they debate their podium picks and contemplate the future of betting in trail running.Whether you're planning to follow the live coverage or just want to understand what makes OCC one of the most competitive races of the UTMB weekend, this episode offers the perfect blend of insight, predictions, and trail running culture. Tune in before Thursday's race to get fully primed for what promises to be an epic mountain running showdown!Follow Chasing Trail on Spotify - @chasingtrail Follow Chasing Trail on Apple - @chasingtrailFollow Chasing Trail on Youtube - @chasingtrailFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

STIAN ANGERMUND BUSCA EL TRIPLETE EN MARATÓN MUNDIAL CANFRANC 2025. Entrevista por MayayoLa Maratón del Mundial 2019 en la Patagonia Argentina nos trajo una fabulosa edición, donde en un trazado alpino y nevado del K42 La Angostura, con un recorrido de 41.5km/D+2184m histórico en este mundillo. Se coronaron campeones del mundo el estadounidense Jim Walmsley y la rumana Cristina Simion, mientras España lideró el mundial, sumando un oro masculino y una plata femenina inolvidables.La actual Short Trail debutó en el Mundial Thailandia 2021 sobre un recorrido de 38k/D+2.425m entre las junglas y colinas de Chang Mai, donde los campeones individuales fueron el noruego Stian Angermund y la rumana Denisa Dragomir. Los títulos por equipos fueron para España en categoría femenina e Italia en masculina.El Mundial Short Trail en Innsbruck 2023 deparó un duro recorrido sobre 45k/D+3.135, tan alpino como abrupto y vistoso, donde Stian Angermund logró su segundo oro, mientras Clementine Geoffray conquistaba el oro para una Francia que venció también por equipos en categoría femenina. Gran Bretaña firmó la victoria masculina equipos.LA MARATÓN CANFRANCPIRINEOS EN EL MUNDIAL 2025. El próximo mes de septiembre el corazón del Pirineo aragonés latirá al ritmo de las zancadas más rápidas del planeta en la Short Trail de 45k/D+3.657m. El trazado replica la mítica Maratón CanfrancCanfranc, que durante años ha forjado leyendas entre bosques de pino rojo, barrancos solitarios como el de Epifanio y panorámicas que cortan la respiración; de La Moleta a las faldas del Aspe y más allá. Será un desafío para atletas totales, los que no solo corren sino que trepan, descienden y se mueven por la alta montaña como si formaran parte de ella.

TIAN ANGERMUND BUSCA EL TRIPLETE EN MARATÓN MUNDIAL CANFRANC 2025 La Maratón del Mundial 2019 en la Patagonia Argentina nos trajo una fabulosa edición, donde en un trazado alpino y nevado del K42 La Angostura, con un recorrido de 41.5km/D+2184m histórico en este mundillo. Se coronaron campeones del mundo el estadounidense Jim Walmsley y la rumana Cristina Simion, mientras España lideró el mundial, sumando un oro masculino y una plata femenina inolvidables. La actual Short Trail debutó en el Mundial Thailandia 2021 sobre un recorrido de 38k/D+2.425m entre las junglas y colinas de Chang Mai, donde los campeones individuales fueron el noruego Stian Angermund y la rumana Denisa Dragomir. Los títulos por equipos fueron para España en categoría femenina e Italia en masculina. El Mundial Short Trail en Innsbruck 2023 deparó un duro recorrido sobre 45k/D+3.135, tan alpino como abrupto y vistoso, donde Stian Angermund logró su segundo oro, mientras Clementine Geoffray conquistaba el oro para una Francia que venció también por equipos en categoría femenina. Gran Bretaña firmó la victoria masculina equipos. LA MARATÓN CANFRANCPIRINEOS EN EL MUNDIAL 2025. El próximo mes de septiembre el corazón del Pirineo aragonés latirá al ritmo de las zancadas más rápidas del planeta en la Short Trail de 45k/D+3.657m. El trazado replica la mítica Maratón CanfrancCanfranc, que durante años ha forjado leyendas entre bosques de pino rojo, barrancos solitarios como el de Epifanio y panorámicas que cortan la respiración; de La Moleta a las faldas del Aspe y más allá. Será un desafío para atletas totales, los que no solo corren sino que trepan, descienden y se mueven por la alta montaña como si formaran parte de ella. Aquí no bastarán unas piernas rápidas: hará falta estrategia para gestionar la dureza del perfil, saber cuándo apretar y cuándo guardar fuerzas, y sobre todo, cabeza para no dejarse atrapar por la belleza áspera de estas cumbres.

Send us a textThe legendary Speedgoat 50k isn't just another mountain race—it's a brutal test of endurance that has humbled even the sport's greatest athletes. With 11,400 feet of climbing packed into 31 miles at altitudes reaching 11,000 feet, this Karl Meltzer creation has rightfully earned its reputation as America's toughest 50k.James and Nick dive deep into what makes this race so special, tracing its rich history through the performances of ultrarunning royalty like Kilian Jornet, Anton Krupicka, and Jim Walmsley. They analyze David Sinclair's mind-blowing course record (4:57:35) set last year when he became the first runner to break the 5-hour barrier, while marveling at how the women's record has incredibly stood untouched since Anita Ortiz ran 6:02:06 back in 2008.This year's field might be the deepest in race history. The women's battle features defending champion Jasmine Lowther, Broken Arrow winner Jennifer Lichter, mountain running star Grayson Murphy stepping up in distance, and local favorite Mally Noyes who knows every inch of the course. On the men's side, Michelino Senseri stands as the clear favorite—the only runner in the field who has broken 5:20, and he's done it twice.What makes the conversation particularly fascinating is the hosts' analysis of the unique skills this course demands. Unlike many ultras, Speedgoat rewards ski mountaineering strength and climbing ability over pure running talent, explained by the exposed nature of the course running across ski slopes with minimal tree cover. Weather becomes crucial too, with cooler temperatures potentially setting the stage for record attempts.Whether you're planning your fantasy picks, preparing to race, or simply love the drama of mountain ultrarunning, this preview provides all the insights you need to understand why Speedgoat has become one of the most respected measuring sticks in trail running—a race where legends are tested and new ones are born.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com! 

À 49 ans, Ludovic Pommeret continue d'écrire sa légende. Dans les hauteurs du Colorado, l'inoxydable Savoyard a survolé la redoutable Hardrock 100 pour la deuxième année consécutive, bouclant les 160 kilomètres et 10 000 mètres de dénivelé en 22h21.Derrière lui, Mathieu Blanchard et Germain Grangier complètent un podium 100 % tricolore, illustrant la domination actuelle des Français en ultra.Dans cet épisode, retour sur une course hors normes, des moments de bascule comme la prise de tête au km 70 à Animas Forks, jusqu'à l'image iconique de Pommeret embrassant le rocher du finish.

This Fourth of July, The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind kicks off its Run the Nation series by heading out West — where the freedom to run wild is as big as the coastline itself. From misty coastal boardwalks to rugged mountain trails, the West Coast running scene is all about adventure, grit, and epic scenery that makes you grateful to lace up in the land of the free. Kyle breaks down iconic bucket-list races like Big Sur, Western States 100, and the legendary Hood to Coast Relay. We'll dig into how the terrain, climate, and laid-back surf-and-trail culture shape a community where ultramarathons, mindful miles, and post-run beers go hand in hand. You'll hear stories about West Coast running legends like Jim Walmsley, Sally McRae, Ann Trason, and Dean Karnazes — athletes who show what American endurance is all about. Whether you dream of running under the Golden Gate Bridge or climbing mountain passes in the high Sierras, this episode will stoke your wanderlust and remind you that running is one of the best ways to celebrate the freedom we have. So on this Independence Day, let's hit the road, the trail, and the coast — and honor America, one mile at a time.

Text us your thoughts about this episode or ideas for future episodes!Jim Walmsley returns to the Singletrack Podcast for a live, in-person conversation from our Olympic Valley, CA studio during Western States week—only this time, he's not lining up to race.In this exclusive interview, Jim opens up about his decision to bow out of the 2025 Western States 100, offering insight into what went into that choice and where his mind and body are at as one of the most iconic runners in the sport. Whether it's lingering fatigue, long-term goals, or a strategic reset, Jim shares what fans need to know.We also talk about the future: Will he be back at Western States in 2026 or beyond? What would it take to pull him back to the start line in Olympic Valley? And what does he still hope to accomplish at this race?In the second half of the conversation, Jim brings his deep course knowledge and competitive experience to bear in analyzing this year's men's field. Who are the biggest threats? What splits might signal a historic performance? Are we on the cusp of seeing another course record—or perhaps a completely new racing style emerge?Jim is not just a generational athlete, but also one of the sharpest minds in ultrarunning. This episode is part reflection, part analysis, and part look forward—an essential conversation for anyone invested in the past, present, and future of the Western States 100.Partners:Norda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever made (https://nordarun.com/)Gorewear - use code SINGLETRACKPOD30 at checkout on their website to get 30% off your purchase.Naak - use code SINGLETRACK20 at checkout on their website (https://www.naak.com/) to get 20% off your purchase.Raide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains (https://raideresearch.com/)Additional Links:Follow Brett on Instagram, Strava, YoutubeFollow Finn on Instagram, Strava, YoutubeSupport the show

Distances+ est à la Western States 2025 avec un dispositif exceptionnel sur le terrain californien entre Olympic Valley près du Lac Tahoe et Auburnet. La couverture journalistique est à suivre sur les réseaux sociaux de @distancesplus et nous vous ferons également vivre cet événement en podcast grâce à La Bande à D+, présenté par Nicolas Fréret.Pour vous mettre en haleine, nous vous proposons une émission d'avant-course avec l'une des grandes favorites du plus vieux 100 miles américain, Marianne Hogan, qui est aussi l'une des membres de La Bande à D+ et une athlète de notre partenaire Näak. Marianne Hogan avait terminé sur la 3e marche du podium en 2022 et elle revient en Californie pour faire encore mieux. Elle partage avec nous son enthousiasme d'être de nouveau au départ ce samedi 28 juin et d'être accompagnée sur les 60 derniers kilomètres du parcours par deux très proches amis, deux bombes des sentiers, l'un des meilleurs coureurs en sentier du Québec Olivier Gagnon, et l'un des meilleurs ultra-traileurs de la planète Mathieu Blanchard…Dans cette émission d'avant-course, nous sommes également allés à la rencontre du vainqueur surprise du dernier UTMB, Vincent Bouillard, qui a coché la Western States comme objectif numéro 1 cette saison. Vincent est l'un des meilleurs amis du quadruple vainqueur de la Western, Jim Walmsley, et il est presque chez lui puisqu'il a vécu plusieurs années en Californie. Il est donc lui aussi heureux d'être au départ de cette course qu'il rêve de gagner. Même s'il faudra pour cela rivaliser avec l'ultra-terrestre et ultra-polyvalent Kilian Jornet et les nombreux américains candidats à la victoire en l'absence du grand Jim, à l'image du vainqueur 2022 Adam Peterman, de Rod Farvard, 2e l'an dernier, ou encore du fantasque David Roche qui a prévenu qu'il venait pour gagner la course (et battre le record ?). Nous discutons également avec William Walker, le co-fondateur de Näak, qui suit avec passion la Western depuis une dizaine d'années et qui va la vivre au plus près dans quelques heures aux côtés des athlètes soutenus par la marque de nutrition sportive spécialisée dans les sports d'endurance.À noter que Näak soutient la couverture journalistique de Distances+ sur cette Western States et nous permet d'être mobilisé sur le terrain pour tenter de vous raconter au mieux l'un des quatre majeurs de l'ultra-trail international.ATTENTION - Un code promo exceptionnel a été créé pour la communauté D+ : LBAD+WSERAvec ce code, jusqu'au 31 juillet, vous avez 20 % de réduction sur TOUTES vos commandes sur le site web de Näak.---Le partenaire de La Bande à D+ Shokz offre également 10 euros de réduction sur tous les casques à conduction osseuse et/ou aérienne Shokz avec le code LBAD+ sur shokz.com (rabais qui se cumule aux éventuelles promotions en cours).Hébergé par Ausha.

This interview is part of Freetrail's coverage of the 2025 Western States 100, the most important trail running event in North America. Our shows and athlete interviews are hosted each day by Dylan Bowman who sits down to talk with some of the favorites who are racing this year.   In this interview, Dylan talks to professional runner, Rod Farvard (HOKA) for a pre-race interview in advance of this weekend. Rod lives and trains in Mammoth Lakes, California. Rod was the breakout star of the 2024 Western States 100, throwing down an incredible performance to take second place behind champion Jim Walmsley. He is the second fastest man in Western States race history. Rod comes in as the fastest returning male runner and no doubt a favorite. He is hungry to be at the front and drive the sport further. Good luck, Rod!   Make sure to tune into all of Freetrail's coverage leading into the 2025 Western States.

Text us your thoughts about this episode or ideas for future episodes!Rod Farvard joins the Singletrack Podcast live from our Olympic Valley, CA studio during Western States race week to discuss what it really takes to compete at the highest level in trail and ultrarunning—and why he may be the biggest threat to the Western States crown in 2025.In 2024, Rod turned heads by going toe-to-toe with one of the sport's greatest athletes, Jim Walmsley, at the Western States 100. His fearless front-running and relentless pace put him on the radar of fans and competitors alike. Now, with another year of focused training, refined systems, and added motivation, Rod returns with something to prove—not just that he belongs, but that he's ready to win.In this conversation, we dive deep into the mindset and lifestyle of a modern pro trail runner. Rod pulls back the curtain on the level of commitment and precision it takes to not just go pro, but stay pro. We explore the pressures of high-stakes racing, the tactical demands of the Western States course, and how he's evolved as an athlete over the past 12 months.Partners:Norda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever made (https://nordarun.com/)Gorewear - use code SINGLETRACKPOD30 at checkout on their website to get 30% off your purchase.Naak - use code SINGLETRACK20 at checkout on their website (https://www.naak.com/) to get 20% off your purchase.Raide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains (https://raideresearch.com/)Additional Links:Follow Brett on Instagram, Strava, YoutubeFollow Finn on Instagram, Strava, YoutubeSupport the show

 “Whether he finishes first or last, we have our life together – and that's all that matters.” – Jess Brazeau“A lot of my success is because I have such a good teammate in the background.” – Jim WalmsleyIn this very special episode, I was joined by Jess Brazeau and Jim Walmsley – not just elite athletes in their own right, but also a deeply connected couple navigating the world of endurance sports together. This marks their first podcast appearance as a duo, and it's an open, honest, and often funny conversation about racing, crewing, and building a life around shared passions.Jess shares how her background in gymnastics shaped her approach to movement and competition, and why she often finds just as much joy in supporting others as she does in chasing her own finish lines. Jim reflects on the evolution of his ultra-running career, from Western States to UTMB, and how Jess's support behind the scenes has been a cornerstone of his success.We dive into:How they navigate race day as a teamThe emotional highs and lows of crewing and competingWhat it means to maintain balance, fun, and purpose in a high-performance lifestyleTheir thoughts on equality in sport, authenticity, and what really matters at the end of the day

We gulped down some pungent juice before recording this amazing episode! The main topics were the two big pieces of news: Jim Walsmley won't be racing Western States, and Kilian Jornet is making training videos now. Jim is the GOAT and we gave him an 85% chance of winning just last week. He's the supermassive black hole at the center of the Western States galaxy. Without Jim at the start line, how does it change the race? Kilian is the GOAT too (yes, we have a GOAT herd), and he just released a training video! He abides by the "no secrets" approach, and we analyzed every frame of that video to try to find clues about whether he might be beatable. Answer: no. Bonus answer: Kilian is the best and it's fascinating that he started his own video series by talking about his heat training.And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: our magical coaching day at the US Mountain Championships, thoughts on training for mountain races, Unbreakable 2 cancellation, the wild triumph of Simon Yates, a new bicarb gel that could upend the bicarb market, the wild science of broccoli sprouts and a new juice supplement from Nomio, anti-histamines and athletic performance, why we're eating dark chocolate (it tastes good), lung training via breathing devices, the relationship between speed work and form in ultras, a hypothetical about Conner Mantz racing Leadville or Western States, an article in the New York Times on unethical mountaineering, training with a newborn, dealing with life transitions, fitting the Naked Belt, the cost of running, cheaper suphershoes, and an incredible poem on failing and flying.Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew. Also, if Icarus had broccoli sprouts and Kilian's training video, maybe he would have flown a bit longer.We love you all! HUZZAH!

Voici le 8e épisode de la 4e saison de La Bande à D+ présenté par Nicolas Fréret du média Distances+ avec :l'aventurier Stéphane Brogniartla montagnarde Fiona Portel'humoriste en chef des Genoux dans le GIF Robin Schmitt

Send us a textFrom track star to mountain master, Dan Curts path to the pinnacle of sub-ultra trail running defies conventional wisdom. While many elite athletes flock to western training hubs like Boulder or Flagstaff, Kurtz has embraced the harsh New England winters and technical terrain of his Northeast home. "Four below this morning," he mentions casually, "but that teaches you something that has to translate to real mountain running."After a collegiate career at Iowa State that left him questioning his relationship with running, Kurtz found renewed purpose in mountain races. Now a three-time Team USA representative who has competed at World Championships in Thailand and Innsbruck, he offers rare insights into the challenges and rewards of pursuing excellence on the trails. His candid discussion about breaking his toe in Thailand, rebuilding fitness through skiing, and preparing for the upcoming season reveals the unfiltered reality of professional trail running.The conversation explores fascinating territory beyond racing, from van life and Brooks' emergence as perhaps "the best sub-ultra trail team on the planet" to the neurological aspects of race-day cramping. Kurtz makes a compelling case for the Northeast as an underappreciated training ground, suggesting that the increased presence of high-profile races like the Cirque Series might finally bring deserved attention to the region. With honest reflections on the pressure to make another World Championship team and admiration for innovators like Jack Kenzel and Jim Walmsley, this episode offers a window into the mind of an athlete operating at the cutting edge of mountain running's evolution.Want to hear more from the athletes reshaping trail running?

We took off our armor for this incredible episode! The main discussion might have been one of our most important (and fun) ever: the Big Alta 50k DNF, failure, and what it truly means to go for it. David raced Big Alta because it was somewhere that he couldn't hide. We needed to gather data about what happened at the very edge of human capabilities. And when you F around...sometimes you find out. We hope that you feel a connection to your big scary dreams. Thank you for giving us the courage to dream bigger!And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: racing lessons from Big Alta, why ankles are annoying, guys v. dudes, running your own race, Jim Walmsley dominates at Chianti, Kilian is going to Western States, sauna v. hot tub, going from 0 to 1 to 2 kids, running groups, bike v. treadmill, core work, life "balance" for people with big goals, long-term training builds, and lots more.This episode gives you a raw window into the true story that athletes rarely tell.

We lifted some styrofoam plates painted like metal before this great episode! The main topic was a new study showing improved fatigue resistance for athletes doing heavy lifting twice per week. Yes... we regret to inform you that we think you should probably have a squat rack nearby. Prepare your butts.We also answered a question on carb intake after exercise, framed around a pro triathlete recently announcing that they had high hemoglobin A1C. We talk about some of the complications of that particular story, and also how high-carb fueling during training may change fueling approaches overall. This episode is not sponsored by Country Time Lemonade, but the Country Time people need to call our people.And there were so many other great topics! Other topics: our first date run in 6 months, Jim Walmsley's dominant 50k, an offer code for the Wahoo Run Treadmill, grunting during training, timing nutrition intake, creating supportive environments, why health is the missing link in many training approaches, fitness and speed offsets, watch data, cadence, and the main thing to look for if you suffer from cramps.This episode is a Public Service Announcement for medicated creams.

On today's episode of the Free Outside Show, we're joined by Grant Barnette—a thru-hiker turned Pro ultrarunner who has tackled some of the toughest races in the world. Grant has hiked the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail, holds the DC Peaks 50 course record, placed 2nd at Grindstone 100, 5th at Speedgoat 50K, and was the third American at CCC at UTMB. Most recently, he signed a pro contract with Craft. Follow Grant online: https://www.instagram.com/runwithgrant/ We dive into how he transitioned from carrying a heavy pack on the PCT to discovering Angeles Crest 100 in middle of a thru-hike, his nomadic lifestyle living out of his truck while chasing FKTs, and his journey through ski mountaineering and backcountry adventures in Utah. He shares his take on training with a job, fueling strategies, sponsorships, and the challenges of race selection for the US Trail Team. Plus, we discuss the controversial selection process for the World Trail Running Championships, how social media and live-streaming influence race prestige, and what it's like lining up next to Jim Walmsley at UTMB. Takeaways Grant Barnett has a rich background in trail running and ultra events. The transition from through-hiking to competitive running can be inspired by encounters on the trail. Living in a truck and pursuing a passion for running can lead to unexpected opportunities. Ski mountaineering offers a unique training method for ultra running. The importance of mentorship in outdoor sports is highlighted through Grant's relationship with Joey Campanelli. Media coverage significantly influences race popularity and athlete opportunities. Qualifying races for championships may not always reflect true mountain running skills. The culture of ski resorts can mirror the lifestyle of through-hikers. Nutrition and hydration strategies change drastically in winter sports. Community support and shared experiences are vital in the outdoor sports world. Wasatch 100 is a historic race but lacks hype. Experiencing a DNF can be deeply embarrassing. Bouncing back from a DNF is crucial for growth. The bond between twin athletes can be unique and supportive. Modern running science is complex and ever-evolving. Finding what works for your body is essential in fueling. Crew support can significantly impact race performance. The emotional toll of racing can be challenging to navigate. The evolution of race formats keeps the sport dynamic. Shoes and gear have advanced significantly in recent years.

AND if you are here in Chamonix, go experience the HOKA basecamp and join in all the Tecton demo opportunities across the week. Named after the earth's tectonic plates, which inspired its parallel dual carbon fiber plate design, the Tecton X franchise has revolutionized the trail racing world – propelling athletes to new heights.   The Tecton X3 features an upgraded midsole featuring two layers of PEBA foam, with one softer layer on top for cushioning and impact, and a slightly firmer layer underneath for agility proprioception on technical terrain. The propulsive parallel carbon fiber plates have evolved – now featuring winglets, the wider plates wrap strategically up the sidewall for additional control in key zones. In the upper, a new knit collar acts as a gaiter to help mitigate trail debris from entering the shoe.   Launching just in time for the UTMB Mont Blanc World Series, The Tecton X3 will be seen on HOKA elite athletes competing at the highest level in Chamonix,   France. Inviting consumers and fans of the sport to learn about the innovation behind the brand's most pinnacle trail release yet, HOKA will be opening their FlyLab™experience dedicated to the Tecton X 3 in celebration of UTMB, located at the HOKA Base Camp in Chamonix Village, and open from Tuesday - Friday of race week.   Freetrail Links:  Website | https://freetrail.com/   Fantasy | https://fantasy.freetrail.com/   Freetrail Pro | https://freetrail.com/pro/   Patreon | https://www.patreon.com/dylanbowman   Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/runfreetrail/   YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/Freetrail   Freetrail Experts | https://freetrail.com/experts/     Dylan Links:  Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dylanbo/   Twitter | https://twitter.com/dylanbo   LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-bowman-06174380/   Strava | https://www.strava.com/pros/1596921
