TRAIL RUNNING LEYENDAS: KARL MELTZER, SPEEDGOAT. 50 victorias de 100 millas y Hoka Speedgoat. Karl “Speedgoat” Meltzer es una de las grandes leyendas del trail running mundial: 50 victorias en carreras de 100 millas, cinco triunfos en Hardrock 100, seis en Wasatch 100 y 22 temporadas ganando al menos una cienmillera. Su historia comenzó como camarero y esquiador en las montañas Wasatch, antes de convertir aquellas sendas de Utah en su modo de vida y alcanzar 75 victorias en ultras. Hoy repasamos en Radio Trail su vida, palmarés y espíritu pionero, completando nuestro reportaje especial sobre Karl Meltzer. Meltzer también llevó su resistencia fuera del dorsal: en 2016 completó los cerca de 3.520 kilómetros del Appalachian Trail en 45 días, 22 horas y 38 minutos, rebajando por nueve horas y media la marca asistida de Scott Jurek. Lo logró a los 48 años y en su tercer intento, sostenido por un equipo donde el propio Jurek desempeñó un papel decisivo. Una aventura que cobra toda su dimensión al repasar la historia del Appalachian Trail y sus grandes récords, hoy culminados por el registro absoluto de Tara Dower en 40d18h06m. Su legado continúa además en las zapatillas Hoka Speedgoat, nacidas en 2015 a partir de su apodo, experiencia y preferencia por los terrenos técnicos, y convertidas después en una saga superventas mundial. Meltzer creó también la exigente Speedgoat 50K, desarrolló su trabajo como entrenador y demostró que un corredor podía construir una marca duradera sin abandonar su identidad montañera. De aquella primera zapatilla hemos llegado ya a la Hoka Speedgoat 7 analizada por Mayayo, mientras Karl sigue persiguiendo otro reto muy suyo: alcanzar las cien metas de 100 millas y cerrar el círculo en Hardrock 2027.

(Wylder is now available on iOS + Android.)In this episode, the Josh hosts Brian Peterson (Wolfie's World) + Karl Speedgoat Meltzer to dbate about the sponsorship of Western States, focusing on the merits of Nike versus Hoka as potential partners. This is hypothetical, obviously. We use Nike to make a point - Hoka is missing a lot of opportunities that Nike would not miss.Ultimately, this feels like less of a debate and more of a discussion around what we need in this sport.Both sides present compelling arguments, with insights from Karl Meltzer, a prominent figure in the trail running community (and Hoka's first pro athlete and namesake of one of the best selling shoes in trail running history - Hoka Speedgoat), emphasizing the importance of sponsorship dynamics and media representation in shaping the future of ultra running.---- Partners ----Wylder - Host and find Run Clubs, schedule public and private group runsNaked Sports Innovations - the worlds best hydration beltSalt Lake Footshills Trail Races.
