Děkuju :)O čem je tahle epizoda?V této epizodě podcastu jsem vyzpovídal Tomáše Fárníka, českého reprezentanta v horských a ultra trailových bězích. Jeho jméno jste mohli zaregistrovat mimo jiné v souvislosti s fenomenálním výkonem na Matterhorn Ultraks, kde zvítězil s druhým nejrychlejším časem od roku 2018, nebo třemi triumfy na Lysohorském Ultra Trailu (LHUT). V roce 2024 navíc přispěl k zisku bronzové medaile českého týmu na mistrovství Evropy v horských bězích.Hned v úvodu jsme probrali jeho nejčerstvější zážitek z březnového UTMB v Chianti, kde se na trati 123 km / 5 200 m objevila i světová esa jako Kilian Jornet či Jim Walmsley. Tomáš v silné konkurenci vybojoval výborné 6. místo a podělil se o průběh závodu, svou strategii i profil trati. Prozradil také, jaké to bylo potkat se s běžícími legendami.Tomáš se s námi podělil o své sportovní začátky, o vliv otce Michala Fárníka a o tom, jak kombinuje trénink s pracovním životem. Trénuje především v Krkonoších a jeho koučem je Zdenda Kříž, který o něm říká: „Tom je strašnej nervák a “nesnesitelnej” puntičkář. Když je trenink napsanej na 2:15 hod tak je v trainingpeaksu 2:15,02. Takhle je to ve 100% případů. Nevím, jak to dělá, ale já to miluju.“ :-)Probrali jsme i významné závody Tomovy kariéry: vedle Matterhorn Ultraks nebo MS 2023, kde skončil 9., zmiňoval i oblibu v českých horách a názory na tuzemský i světový skyrunning.Zajímaly mě taky detaily jeho tréninku – objemy, obecná struktura, použití zátěžových testů, práce na technice i regenerace. Tomáš se netají tím, že se na sobě snaží systematicky pracovat, což bude zajímat nejednoho běžce.V neposlední řadě jsme narazili na výživu a vybavení. Tomáš běhá za Salomon, během závodů nepoužívá hole a pečlivě si hlídá příjem jídla. Na závody se připravuje do detailu.Na závěr přiblížil plány pro letošní sezónu. Pokud se chcete inspirovat, dozvědět se o životě vrcholového ultra běžce a nasát atmosféru světových trailů, tenhle díl rozhodně nepropásnete.Podcast MAKEJ VOLE! také podporují:Runsport.cz - Experti na kopceZa podporu děkuju hodným lidičkám z běžecké speciálky Runsport.cz, kteří mě zásobují nejen hadříkama a botkama na běhání a lyže, ale taky mi půjčují prostor pro natočení podcastu.

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 all fail. Life really unfolds in what happens next. We love you all!

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.

Voici le 16e épisode de la 3e saison de La Bande à D+ animé par Nicolas Fréret avec :

Early release this week as Farley has an out of town race coming up this weekend.  We start off today with results from Tor Des Geants, a beast of a race in Italy.  Then we discuss Run Rabbit Run which was the 100 mile main event of the weekend in the U.S.  We also talk about RUT 50K, a sky race in Big Sky, Montana.  Then we talk about Remi Bonnet setting the Mt. Tam Hill Climb FKT right here in the Bay Area (Mill Valley).  That FKT has been held by Jim Walmsley since 2017.  Remi was in town for the Headlands 27K which is part of the Golden Trail World Series.  We go over the results and speedy dual at the finish of the Headlands 27K.  We also dive into this crazy unsupported 100 mile race that takes place in Plain, Washington.  In addition, we look at an article from Run247 that describes some of the training that Jasmin Paris did leading up to her Barkley finish earlier this year.  Finally, we give a status update for Tara Dower and Mike Wardian who are still out there kicking ass on the Appalachian Trail.  All eyes are on Tara as she is closing in on the last few hundred miles with the overall FKT in sight.  Go Tara!!

Additionally, we explore the potential split between professional and participant markets in ultrarunning, and have some fun exploring open job roles in the sport, like the PR position at UTMB and the Global Creative Director role at Salomon.Timestamps:02:24 The Power of Filmmaking in Athlete Narratives07:45 Balancing Brand Marketing and Performance Marketing15:01 The Rise of Niche Brands in the Digital Age19:08 Navigating the Fragmented Cultural Conversation21:12 The Value of Long-Term Brand Marketing27:38 The PR Opportunity of a Lifetime at UTMB37:19 The Power of Storytelling44:52 The Evolution of Races54:14 Marketing Activations and Moments58:08 Decoupling Athletes from RacesPartners:Naak - use code SINGLETRACK20 at checkout on their website (https://www.naak.com/) to get 20% off your purchase.Rabbit - use code Singletrack10 at checkout on their website (https://www.runinrabbit.com/) to get 10% off your next order.deltaG Ketones - use code Singletrack20 at checkout on their website (https://www.deltagketones.com/SINGLETRACK20) to get 20% off your next order.Pillar Performance - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout on their website (https://pillarperformance.shop/) to get 15% off your next order. Additional Links:Follow Matt on LinkedIn, Personal Website, Auteur SportifFollow Finn on Instagram, Strava, Youtube, and PatreonSupport the show

What a race! The top athletes of the 2024 UTMB have completed the historic lap around Mont Blanc and this year's race did not disappoint. Our team recounts the top stories, breakout performances, upsets, and more from the 2024 UTMB.    In a breakout performance, Vincent Bouillard took the men's win in blazing fast time of 19:54:23, the third fastest time in the race's storied history, behind Jim Walmsley and Kilian Jornet. Vincent is a HOKA employee and unsponsored racer, making this an extra special performance.   Katie Schide won the women's race in a time of 20:09:31 course record time of, breaking Courtney Dauwalter's record from 2022 by over 20 minutes. After her win at Western States this June, Katie has solidified herself as one of the best ultramarathon runners our sport has ever seen.    Come back Sunday for our full week recap of the race and champion interviews with the winners of CCC & UTMB.   Our 2024 UTMB coverage is brought to you by our good friends at HOKA. We're grateful for their generous support and belief in Freetrail.   HOKA is a proud presenting partner of the UTMB series. And sponsor of this week's Freetrail coverage.Check out the Freetrail coverage all week to learn more about their new release of the Tecton X3. 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  

An interview with Jim Walmsley before the 2024 UTMB.

Today we start off talking about David Roche's Leadville 100 course record that he set on Saturday, breaking a record that has stood since 2005.  Also it was David's debut 100 miler which is a bit surprising since he has been around the ultrarunning world for so long.  We also go over race results from Leadville, Tamalpa Headlands 50K, Squamish 50/50K, and the Marquette Trail 50/50K.  Then we discuss Jim Walmsley's return to UTMB and talk about Harvey Lewis and what he recently accomplished.  We go into a discussion on which race is the toughest between Western States 100, Badwater 135, and Bigfoot 200.  Then we go over the FKT updates and through runs for Tara Dower, Mike Wardian, and Bronco Billy (Jeff Browning).  We end the show looking at some of the video footage of Leadville posted by Matt Choi on his Instagram account.

Today, Katie Asmuth and Hilary Yang interview Rob Farvard and Tim Tollefson (Rod's pacer at Western States). Rod had a magical day at Western States, running head-to-head with the legend, Jim Walmsley, for a second place finish, making him the third fastest person to run Western States in 51 years with a finish time of 14:24 and 15 seconds. And as you probably know, those seconds really mattered at the end. He speaks of his self-belief, running in the moment, and shooting your shot. We know you're gonna love this one! A special thanks to Osprey for their support.

In this episode, Keely, Corrine, and Hillary discuss their experiences at both the Western States 100 and Lavaredo trail races from last weekend. They kick off the episode by talking about the “Here for the Women's Race” movement at the Western States 100 and then dive into a viewer question about hiking versus running on steep terrain and how to determine when one is more efficient than the other.   The Western States 100 produced the fastest times in history, with Katie Schide and Jim Walmsley winning the women's and men's race, respectively, in the second fastest times in course history. They talk about the rest of the field, fun storylines, and Keely talks through her experience pacing Rachel Drake to a top 10 finish.

Rod Farvard had a breakout performance at Western States, chasing down Jim Walmsley to nab a second place finish in his 4th going at the race. And it was one of the most inspiring performances at the race to date. And one of his biggest keys to success? Building self-belief. Rod had gone through 3 prior races at Western States where he believes that he didn't give himself a chance to be great. But this year's race was different. And it showed in the results. In this episode, Rod shares how he built massive self-belief in himself to get on the podium of one of the most competitive races, stories from his day at the race, and a look inside his mindset towards racing and life.

We were flying high after the best sports week of all time for this amazing episode! The main topic was the 2024 Western States 100, the most insane race we have ever seen. It was not a cool year, but the times were wildly faster across the board, building on massive speed breakthroughs from 2023. What are we seeing? The same trends are present on the track and even in other endurance sports. We have theories! The biggest, most exciting question of all: where might this trend be going next? We aren't sure, but after seeing this year's Western States unfold... we think it's indicative of a fundamental shift across endurance sports, and we can't wait to see where things go from here. Storylines included Jim Walmsley and Katie Schide further establishing legacies as two of the best ever, Rod Farvard's breakthrough that might be the story of the race, the importance of pushing the pace earlier than previously thought, the cruelty of sports existing right alongside the uplifting stories, aging athletes resetting what's possible, and so much more! Plus, we brought tons of fun stories from the Olympic Track Trials, which we got to experience firsthand with the athletes. There are so many lessons to share. Most importantly, there were unlimited free snacks. We'll be eating like we stole a vending machine for weeks. This episode is full of so much love, joy, and inspiration! We hope that you feel it, absorb it, and go on to chase your own limits. How fast can you go? How many snacks can you grab? There's only one way to find out. We love you all! HUZZAH!

We are coming to you from Eugene, Oregon at the Olympic Track Trials for this amazing episode! The main topic was on some inspiring stories from the first half of the Trials, which feels like the ultimate party of the US running world. And like most good parties, it features a lot of Snoop Dogg. We also talked about lessons from Broken Arrow, including Jim Walmsley doing the Vertical Kilometer race prior to the Western States 100, right alongside Anna Gibson racing the VK prior to the Olympic Trials 1500 meters. It's clear that we are seeing something about how this type of skill applies to all types of events, whether those events are 4 minutes or 14 hours! And this one was full of some of the greatest topics! Other topics: our initial thoughts on Oregon and Tracktown USA, getting coaching credentials at the Trials, birthday reflections, a question on salty food options for endurance events, why Broken Arrow was one of the most competitive races ever on US soil, Jade Belzberg's incredible journey for an incredible race in the 23k, Drew Hunter's gutsy 4th place in the Trials 10k, the psychology of racing in heats, why an emphasis on coaches in Olympics coverage makes David nervous, why Megan thinks it's a weak argument, a Western States preview, how this year's race will unfold, the incredible tech of the Coros Arm Band HR monitor, UTMB's new prize money announcement, and hot takes. The episode finishes with a meditation inspired by our spiritual teacher, Ludacris. May all of your days and all of your drinks be crunk. We love you all! HUZZAH! Trucks!

We sat in a stew of uncertainty before recording this awesome (and healing) episode! The main training topic was a pair of studies looking at longevity outcomes in serious athletes. Extra-hard training seems to have longevity benefits compared to general population lifestyles, contrary to some warnings you might hear! Let's all plan on doing uphill treadmill runs in the nursing home. The big conversation was in the spirit of sharing all of the ups and downs of life. TW: deep discussions of pregnancy uncertainty. Megan courageously shared her current health status, and how she is thinking about vulnerability in a tough time. Over the last 4 years of this podcast, we have opened up about everything, and our lives have opened up with so much love as a result. We got this, whatever "this" ends up being, even if it takes a while. And we discussed so many of our favorite topics! Our theory is that talking about interesting things (and making jokes) is restorative. Other topics: Conan O'Brien's commitment to the bit, how the new Jim Walmsley video played a role in our weekend, fitness return after David's accident, caffeinated gels and fueling workouts, AI bots and how we think it may change human interaction as we know it, a new study on sodium bicarbonate and the placebo effect, the Cocodona 250 and multi-day ultras, Zwift's price increases, Emma Coburn's toughness, and hot takes. There may even be a poetry reading at the end. Stick around to find out... If you dare! On a day like today, we are even more thankful for the amazing listeners out there who give us strength and courage to wander through the darker forests along the way. We love you all! HUZZAH!
