In dieser für mich persönlich sehr inspirierenden Episode begrüße ich Eva-Maria Sperger, eine renommierte Psychotherapeutin und erfolgreiche Trailrunnerin. Eva-Maria teilt ihre bewegenden Erfahrungen vom Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), einem der anspruchsvollsten Ultramarathons der Welt. Sie erläutert, wie Kindness, Durchhaltevermögen und die Entscheidung, alles zu geben, sie durch die härtesten Momente großer Rennen getragen haben. Eva-Maria reflektiert über ihren sportlichen Werdegang, angefangen bei ihren Anfängen im Thaiboxen bis hin zu ihren beeindruckenden Erfolgen. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der mentalen Vorbereitung für Ultraläufe. Sie teilt ihre Techniken der Selbst-Hypnose und erläutert, wie sie Positivität und Achtsamkeit in ihre Wettkampfvorbereitung integriert. Zudem erörtert sie die vielleicht im ersten Moment unkonventionelle Methode, sich auf negative Szenarien vorzubereiten, um mental widerstandsfähiger zu werden.

Dans ce second chapitre de la série, on aborde deux sujets extrêmement importants dans notre sport : l'entraînement et la nutrition. Richard est autodidacte dans ses entraînement et sa nutrition, et gère le tout de manière intuitive. Par contre, son immense bagage de connaissance, combiné à sa carrière de physiothérapeute-ostéopathe, en font de lui un candidat tout indiqué pour nous en parler.

In 2016, Christian Meier made an unusual decision: at the age of 31, he walked away from a successful WorldTour career a year before his contract was due to end to focus on the coffee shop he and his wife had just opened in Girona, Spain. That year, they opened two more businesses. After dabbling in off-road racing for a couple of years, he made a second unconventional transition. He started competing in trail running events and found so much fulfillment in it that his focus began to gravitate toward professional sports again. Last year, he won TDS, a 150-kilometer trail race in Chamonix and one of the most iconic ultra races in the world. This year, he has his sights set on the biggest off-road running event of them all — Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB).Payson sat down with Christian to discuss his journey from Canada to Girona before the town became known as a cycling haven. They delve into Christian's decision to leave the WorldTour early, his entrepreneurial ventures, and that time he started a breakaway at Unbound. He also talks about why he switched from cycling to running, and how the current state of ultrarunning mirrors where gravel was a few years ago. Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen

Ethan Peters is a 25 year old software developer currently living in Fernie, BC.  He started his running career at the age of 19 by completing his first official race - that just happened to be a 100 miler! Since then he has excelled in mountain ultramarathons, earning multiple podium finishes amongst elite fields on some very tough courses.  Most recently Ethan was the first Canadian runner to cross the finish line at the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) in Chamonix, France. Although the race didn't go exactly as he had hoped, he finished strong and learned a lot, coming home with some great stories to share.  Ethan's introduction to trail running is rather unique and his success at such a young age isn't something you commonly see amongst ultrarunners.  He is passionate, self aware, and refreshingly relaxed in his approach to the sport.Connect with Ethan:Instagram: @run_ethanConnect with Carolyn & Kim:Email us with guest ideas: inspiredsolescast@gmail.comInspired Soles InstagramKim's InstagramKim's FacebookCarolyn's InstagramCarolyn's FacebookCarolyn's websiteWe love hearing from you!

These days, Katie Schide is living in France pursuing her passion as a professional trail runner. And, it's paying off — last year she took home the win at Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), a roughly 171-kilometer (about 106 miles) trail race with 10,000 meters of elevation gain. And just last week? She came in second at the UTMB OCC 50K, showing that she's got some range in the mountains.

Yohann Metay est un traileur français qui complète des ultras depuis près de deux décennies. En 2006, il a participé à la 3e édition de l'Ultra-trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), et cette expérience unique a été son inspiration pour le spectacle La Tragédie du Dossard 512. Pendant 90 minutes, il tente de répondre à la simple question : pourquoi participer à une course autour du Mont-Blanc? Pour l'orgueil? Pour trouver un sens au temps qui passe? Pour devenir quelqu'un? Dans une quête haletante du héros qui est en lui, Yohann partage avec humour et autodérision ses hallucinations, ses crampes, ses doutes, ses hypoglycémies, ses questions existentielles, ses délires intérieurs et ses craintes. L'homme de théâtre et improvisateur professionnel a présenté son one-man show à propos à plus de 1 000 reprises sur le continent européen, faisant rire à la fois les traileurs et les non-initiés. Dans les jours qui précéderont l'Ultra-Trail Harricana, Yohann présentera son spectacle à Montréal, Québec et La Malbaie, au plus grand plaisir du public québécois. Et dans cet épisode, il nous donne un bel aperçu de son énergie, de sa folie et de sa profondeur d'âme.

In this episode of Run with Fitpage, we have the Founders and Race Directors of the iconic race, UTMB(Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc), Catherine and Michell Poletti to discuss all the history and race qualification criteria, with our host Vikas Singh.The Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) is one of the most renowned and challenging endurance trail running races in the world. Held annually in the breathtaking mountainous region of the Mont-Blanc massif, spanning France, Italy, and Switzerland, the UTMB attracts elite athletes and passionate trail runners from across the globe. The race covers approximately 170 kilometers (105 miles) with a staggering total elevation gain of over 10,000 meters (32,800 feet). Participants endure treacherous terrains, unpredictable weather conditions, and grueling ascents and descents, pushing their physical and mental limits to the extreme. The UTMB is a true test of endurance, strength, and determination, offering a unique and awe-inspiring experience in the heart of the majestic Mont-Blanc mountain range.About The Founders:Born in Saintes in 1953, into an intellectual sphere where the passion was for music and the arts, Catherine, a pianist (1st prize in the regional conservatory), was the eldest of five children. Until adulthood, after 5 years in Morocco, her education was in Valence ending with two years of law before entering Pierre Mendes France University in Grenoble to study the “IT and mathematics applied to human and social sciences” program before continuing with psychology and then biology. It was while studying at this university that she met Michel in 1975. Born the second in an entrepreneurial family, Michel spent a childhood marked by the mountains, skiing, and above all cross-country skiing. After studying “IT and mathematics applied to human and social sciences” he did a masters in IT.

Quatre fois vainqueur de l'Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), recordman de la traversée du GR 20, en Corse, et du John Muir Trail, aux États-Unis (avec 359 kilomètres parcourus en deux jours, dix-neuf heures et vingt-six minutes)... François D'haene est devenu en une vingtaine d'années l'un des ultra-traileurs les plus célèbres du monde. Pourquoi ce besoin d'exploits ? Que disent ses performances des ressources incroyables dont semble disposer le corps humain ? Sportif de haut niveau, François D'haene est aussi kinésithérapeute, vigneron, époux et père de trois enfants. Il mène une vie ordinaire en somme, mais parsemée d'exploits extraordinaires. Ce qu'il raconte dans son livre, "La vie courante" (éd. Guérin, 2023).

Cette semaine, Marianne est de retour au balado pour jaser de son expérience au Costa Rica, où elle a participé à The Coastal Challenge. Elle me raconte l'expérience unique de cette célèbre course par étapes, qui en était à sa 19e édition! Marianne m'explique comment son approche décontractée du sport, axée sur le plaisir dans le moment présent, peut parfois mettre en péril ses objectifs long terme. Et sa décision de ne pas compléter The Coastal Challenge, bien que difficile, s'inscrit dans cette volonté de mettre toutes les chances de son bord pour ses objectifs A de la saison, soit la Western States et l'Ultra-trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB). On a aussi discuté de son prochain défi : une traversée à relais de 548 km entre Santa Barbara et Las Vegas. Marianne participera effectivement à The Speed Project, ce drôle d'ovni dans le monde de la course à pied. Ne cherchez pas un site web officiel, il n'y en a pas. Un parcours balisé? Oubliez ça. Il y a un point de départ et un point d'arrivée. Entre les deux, chaque équipe décide. Marianne fait donc partie d'un groupe de 9 femmes sélectionnées par Salomon pour former une équipe et effectuer cette grande traversée. Comme d'habitude, Marianne est généreuse, intéressante, pertinente, transparente et toujours aussi drôle! Bonne écoute.CréditsDesign graphique : David HébertThème musical : Frédérick DesrochesCrédit photo : Ian CorlessIdée originale, production, recherche et animation : Yannick Vézina© Pas sorti du bois 2023

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast, I talk with professional trail runner, coach, podcast host, and physiologist, Corrine Malcolm. We start by exploring Corrine's childhood in Wisconsin, growing up a very active kid, involved in sports from early on. Corrine shares how her competitive spark was ignited, playing a variety of sports through high school and in college. We hear Corrine's remarkable story of playing on two different NCAA college teams: cross country skiing and track. She discusses some of the challenges of being on a competitive collegiate team, including how team politics kept her from racing nationals.  With her eyes on the Winter Olympics, Corrine explains her decision to drop out of college and join the US biathlon team. A mix of cross country skiing and shooting, Corrine's training increased dramatically and it wasn't long before Corrine started to feel the effects. Corrine talks about the team cultures within college and professional settings she's been a part of, and how that influenced her physical and mental health. We define overtraining syndrome (OTS), the signs and symptoms, and how to avoid it. Athletes with OTS are no longer benefiting from their training, and a couple rest day won't solve it. Corrine shares her story with overtraining syndrome, even without RED-S or underfueling, that left her chronically fatigued and resenting the sport. We touch on the overlap between RED-S and OTS, while highlighting that they are independent conditions. Corrine opens up about the psychological symptoms of OTS, poor training, underperformance, and anemia that she experienced: OTS is all an encompassing physiological, metabolic, and mental condition. We discuss recovery from OTS: Corrine was forced to retire from biathlon prior to the Olympics and step away from all sport for 18 months. We hear about Corrine's return to competitive sport, this time in trail and ultra running, and how she is using the lessons she's learned along the way to help her and others succeed today. Corrine normalizes taking time off and sharing the struggles, both in this episode and on her own podcast the Trail Society. Corrine and I discuss staying fueled even with a busy schedule, including great strategies perfect for high school and college athletes, as well as us moms and working professionals. Corrine shares how she currently prioritizes her nutrition within and around workouts by planning ahead and preparing snacks and recovery shakes in advance. We emphasize the importance of avoiding within-day energy deficits, starting with eating around morning workouts. Corrine advises listeners that being busy is not an excuse for underfueling, and coffee is not breakfast! Corrine Malcolm's Official Bio: Corrine is a coach, physiologist, writer and newly minted editor-in-chief for FreeTrail, podcast host, and a professional runner for Adidas Terrex. Corrine takes after her mom -an emergency medicine doctor, medical director, and violin teacher- in that she feels she has to do a little bit of everything. Corrine says she has vexed many teachers, coaches, and parents with her need to know "why" - but that same impulse drives everything she does. Corrine has been an NCAA athlete in two sports: skiing and running, a national team member in both biathlon and trail running, dropped out of college twice, coached endurance sports for a decade, and most recently she has helped launch live broadcast commentary for trail and ultra running at races like the Western States Endurance Run (WSER) and Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB).

Guillaume Dubé, c'est un grand homme et un grand coureur. Il roule sa bosse dans le monde de l'ultra depuis plusieurs années, ayant complété de nombreuses courses de plus de 100 km. Sa saison 2022 culminait sur le parcours de 170 km et 10 000 mètres D+ de l'Ultra-trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), lui qui avait été pigé il y a plusieurs années. Mais, le processus qui l'a mené jusqu'à la ligne de départ à Chamonix s'est amorcé 10 mois plus tôt, lors d'un DNF éclairant sur le Bromont Ultra. L'athlète originaire de Rimouski poussait fort dans ses entraînements, jusqu'à se rendre à un point où la quête de performance avait surplombé le facteur fun. Et lors de cet abandon à Bromont, Guillaume a réalisé que son processus n'était plus le bon. Il a travaillé sur lui, il a retrouvé le plaisir dans la course et il s'est concocté une belle montée en force jusqu'à sa course A de la saison. Et bien sûr, à travers les apprentissages, les anecdotes et les quelques égarements, nous avons découvert son aventure sur l'UTMB. Bonne écoute!CréditsDesign graphique : David HébertThème musical : Frédérick DesrochesIdée originale, production, recherche et animation : Yannick Vézina© Pas sorti du bois 2022

For this week's podcast, we caught up with British Ultra runner, Tom Evans. Tom recently finished third at the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) in an incredible time of 20:34:36. He's also pretty handy over the shorter events that we normally cover on the podcast; with sub 14 and 30 clockings over 5K and 10K respectively. We chatted lots about the trail scene, including how he got into the sport, how he trains for such long events, how can be applicable to all runners, and much more. Enjoy!

What an inspiring episode we have for you today. We checked in with SFE client Laura off the back of her fantastic 106mile race at Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB). However, it's Laura's back story that makes her result even more special, from a year in a wheelchair following a road traffic accident, two previous medical DNF's at UTMB and two bouts of covid earlier this year, it was Laura's positivity, determination and consistent hard work that got her to that finish line.

Moins de deux semaines après sa performance électrisante à l'Ultra-trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), j'ai eu le plaisir de m'assoir autour du feu avec Marianne Hogan. La Montréalaise a fait tourner les têtes à Chamonix, devenant la première femme de l'histoire à monter sur les podiums de la Western States 100 et de l'UTMB dans la même saison. On reprend la discussion là où l'avait laissé en juin dernier, au terme de la série d'épisodes En Route vers Western States. Marianne me raconte en détails sa course, de la ligne de départ aux côtés de son ami Mathieu Blanchard jusqu'à son arrivée dans Chamonix, en passant par son dépassement de la meneuse Katie Schide au Grand Col Ferret. Elle me raconte également comment elle a gérer sa blessure, alors qu'il lui restait plus d'une quarantaine de kilomètres. Cette blessure s'est finalement avérée être une déchirure du psoas. On jase également de la saison prochaine de cette invitée chouchou du podcast, qui en est à son 8e passage! Bonne écoute.L'épisode a été enregistré dans Charlevoix, pendant l'Ultra-trail Harricana du Canada (UTHC).CréditsDesign graphique : David HébertThème musical : Frédérick DesrochesIdée originale, production, recherche et animation : Yannick Vézina© Pas sorti du bois 2022

En janvier 2020, j'ai été pigé au tirage au sort de la CCC, la « petite sœur » de l'Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB). Deux mois plus tard, la pandémie frappait notre planète et tout était mis sur pause. Après annulations, reports et rebondissements, j'ai finalement pu m'aligner sur la ligne de départ de cette épreuve mythique de 100 kilomètres et 6 100 mètres de dénivelé positif. Une course alpine qui traverse trois pays, de Courmayeur en Italie à Chamonix en France, en passant par Champex-Lac en Suisse. Pour revenir sur cet objectif A de ma saison 2022, mon amie (et invitée chouchou de Pas sorti du bois) Anne Bouchard m'a proposé d'échanger les rôles et de prendre le micro d'animatrice pour diriger la conversation. Quel plaisir de revenir sur ma préparation et ma course, en compagnie de cette grande athlète qui a complété elle aussi la CCC en 2016. À travers la discussion, je vous partage des extraits vocaux enregistrés pendant ma course, de mes anecdotes de marmottes jusqu'à mon gros coup de mou à la mi-parcours.

C'est le retour d'un épisode Jasette de Geeks et cette fois-ci, Nicolas Danne et moi ajoutons un troisième joueur : Nicolas Fréret, geek passionné de trail, rédacteur en chef du magazine Distances+ et animateur de l'excellent balado La Bande à D+. Ensemble, nous analysons la prochaine édition de l'Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), en passant au peigne fin les athlètes favoris sur l'OCC (55 km et 3500 m d+), la CCC (100 km et 6 100 m D+), la TDS (145 km et 9 100 m D+) et bien sûr, l'épreuve reine UTMB (170 km et 10 000 m D+). Attention, ça geek fort car les deux Nicolas sont de grands connaisseurs de notre sport! Et pour le plaisir, on se lance dans le jeu des pronostics, alors qu'on présente chacun notre top 5 pour l'UTMB, en plus des prédictions de gagnantes et gagnants sur les autres épreuves. Tout ça, dans une ambiance sympathique et décontractée. Bon UTMB et bonne écoute!*Petite erreur de notre part en discutant du système UTMB World Series : en sol américain, il y a effectivement la Speedgoat 50k et la Western States 100 qui permettent d'amasser des Running Stones pour l'UTMB 2023, mais nous avons oublié de mentionner The Canyons 100k, qui fait aussi partie de la série.CréditsDesign graphique : David HébertThème musical : Frédérick DesrochesIdée originale, production, recherche et animation : Yannick Vézina© Pas sorti du bois 2022

Though the FasterSkier team would select other highlights from the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games, one of the most read articles we produced featured the responses of members of the ski community to a story published on February 8th by the New York Times, which included the following quote:“In a sport that has so many women with massive shoulders and thighs, Diggins looks like a sprite in her racing suit, and it's not clear exactly where she gets her power. But the power is there, as she flies up hills, and comes off climactic turns with a burst. On the downhills, she tucks low and cuts through the air.”Following the initial backlash sparked by the quote has prompted a number of insightful conversations – and questions – on how athletes, men and women, are portrayed by the media, whether there is room for descriptions or comparisons of athletes' bodies to narrate a scene for a reader, and how the landscape of sports media has shifted with time.For this discussion, FasterSkier brought together a panel that spans both the athlete and media perspective on the issue.Perhaps needing the least introduction for this audience, the first voice you'll hear belongs to Rosie Brennan. In addition to her role as one of the top American cross country skiers for more than a decade, Brennan is also an advocate for the organization Voice in Sport which provides mentorship for developing female athletes across all sports. And she was a member of the women's Olympic skate sprint final in Zhangjiakou, taking fourth place just behind Diggins, the race which sparked the discussion in the first place.The second belongs to professional trail and ultra runner Corrine Malcolm, whose first go at professional endurance sport was in biathlon, from which she retired in 2014 after experiencing overtraining syndrome, likely coupled by relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S). Alongside her athletic career, Malcolm has become a coach for other endurance athletes, while also becoming an advocate for women in sport, and has also engaged with this topic from the media side of the coin while calling some of the top ultra running events worldwide, including the Western States Endurance Run in California and the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) which begins and ends in Chamonix, France. She's also the co-host of an engaging podcast called Trail Society, which dissects challenging topics in the trail and ultra-running space.We've also got Brian Metzler, an award-winning veteran journalist and author in the endurance space who currently writes for a number of publications including Outside, Competitor, Women's Running, Triathlete, and Trail Runner magazines. Writing with perspective from his own athletic career, Metzler is Colorado Running Hall of Fame inductee (2015) who adventures on foot, ski, and sometimes alongside a burro, throughout the high country of Colorado. Lastly, you'll hear a cameo from our own Nat Herz, on lunch break from his “real job” as a full-time reporter for the Anchorage Daily News. Having written for FasterSkier from 2009 through 2015 before making a return this year as our 2022 Olympic Correspondent and co-host of the Devon Kershaw Show, Herz shares insights from his time covering cross country skiing paired with those from behind a very different desk.Some of the talking points discussed include:  Initial responses to the NY Times story A writer's responsibility to be informed on the sport being covered, in addition to the physical and/or mental health challenges that may be pervasive in that setting Differences between American and European media, and shifts in focus, norms, or trends in sports media Differences, or lack thereof, of covering athletes of different genders Thanks for listening, and to this episode's sponsor, the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. Please note that the Craftsbury Green Racing Project Ski and Biathlon teams and U23 summer programs are currently accepting applications for the upcoming training year, which will close on April 10th.

Although she's only 25, Lucy Bartholomew has been competing in ultras for a decade.  She ran her first, the Surf Coast Century 100k, alongside her father, and the successes kept coming. In 2017 she raced in fifteen ultras and was the first place female in eight of them.  The following year she ran her first 100 mile race, Western States, and finished third in the women's race.  All of those medals came at a cost, however, and for a time she lost her love of running.  Today she talks about how she regained her joy in the sport and now appreciates it more fully than she ever did before. “People asked what happened when the numbers went up, but when the numbers were so low that I was clearly unwell, no one asked any questions. In fact I was put on a pedestal.” Lucy participated in a project at a heart institute in 2018, the year she triumphed at Western States.  Her numbers were incredibly low - body fat under 12% and a heart rate so slow that it didn't register on the lab's equipment. The doctors were amazed and impressed; it was “like a hall of fame moment,” she recalls. But those levels were impossible to maintain, and when she went back a year later, the numbers were all higher.  She was stronger and healthier, but the reaction was, “oh, you're out of that elite athlete percentile and you're like, normal, God forbid.” “ I remember sitting there,” she says, “and just being like, my photo's just gone off the wall of fame, and I'm now this normal human, which is just not good enough for their standards.” “Overnight I gained 50,000 followers on Instagram.  So 50,000 people started following me and they started following a version of Lucy that was not sustainable.” After Lucy crossed the Western States' finish line in 2018, she suddenly had tens of thousands of new followers, who only knew her at her thinnest.  When she gained weight after the race, people's comments made her start to question herself. “It just puts a grain of sand into your mind, just kind of like, am I doing everything wrong?”  By the end of 2019, that grain of sand had become a sandcastle. “I think that I had lost the race of Western States before I had even begun.” Running Western States in 2018 had been a joyful experience. She remembers an article that was written about her, saying how super-stoked she was. “And I was,” she says, “I was just like, oh my God, I can't believe I'm in this position. I didn't come here to lead the race. I'm in front of Courtney freaking Dauwalter, like what is going on?”  When she ran it again the next year, everything had changed.  She was in the worst headspace of her life, and says, ”if I have one regret in my running career - I don't use the word regret - but I disrespected that race. I ran it, but I didn't love it. I despised the fact that I was out there. I endured it, which the previous year, I enjoyed it, not endured.” She hadn't looked at her watch for the first nine hours of the 2018 race  because she was loving it so much.  But in 2019, she says, “I looked at my watch for the first time probably a mile in and went, ‘is that all we've done?'”   “I don't love this anymore, and I've always said that I would stop the moment that I outrun my love for running.” In retrospect, she knew that she should have rested after the 2018 Western States, but she kept racing.  “Then the Christmas season I chilled out a little bit,” she says, “had my three days off for the year, God forbid.”  She resumed her schedule of back-to-back ultras in the new year.  Thinking about her racing calendar, she says, “I'm like, you are an absolute goose, Lucy. Who do you think you are, standing on all those start lines and doing that to your body?” “I learned from Western States that I won't stand on the start line if my head and heart aren't in it.”  Lucy had raced the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) seven times and loved it, but when she arrived in Chamonix in 2019, she says, “I was like, I really just want to sit at a cafe and chill out, and sit in the river and do something else.  I just want to get the chairlift up. Like, do we have to run?” “To be a great runner, you have to have the ability to run but then also to be able to cheer on others.” She dropped out of the UTMB, but instead of sulking because “this was just turning into the absolute crumble of the year,” she decided to support the people who were racing.  She explains that when she was younger and would spectate as her dad raced, “I started to realize that you can be on the sideline and you can just be miserable about the fact that you're not in the race or you can be on the sideline and you can make people's day.”  She left Chamonix feeling proud that she'd respected herself enough to pull out of the race, and happy that “I was able to still be a part of the sport that I love, because whilst I wasn't loving the act of running, I love the philosophy and the community of running, and that's more important to me than any race ever.” “It was just the most beautiful experience that put me in a position where it was kind of like, this is what matters.” The lockdowns in Australia during the Covid-19 pandemic gave Lucy an opportunity to reset.  After only being allowed one hour of running a day, 5 km from her house, she was ready for a challenge. She and two friends decided to run the extremely difficult Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory of Australia.  There were times on the trail that were “really, really tough,” but at the end, when the community came out for the finish, she realized that “this is why I love this sport and this is what I want to do. I want to tell stories and I want to show places to people and I want to create community.” The past few months presented Lucy with a different kind of challenge.  She was diagnosed with cancer in one eye and has undergone surgery to remove the tumor.  But the love and support she received when she revealed her diagnosis on social media have made her realize that people care about her as a person, not only about her appearance and her ability as a runner.  Now she's eager to get back out on the trails. “I can be a part of the community and I can be out where I love, in nature, and that's kind of what I've taken away from a really challenging few months.” Resources: Lucy's Instagram “Running Out,” the documentary about Lucy running the Larapinta Trail Lucy's website Lucy's podcast interview with Dylan Bowman   Thank you to Tracksmith, InsideTracker, and Zencastr for sponsoring this episode.

Fernanda Maciel uses ultrarunning to draw attention to environmental and social issues around the world. She's completed the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) nine times, earning a spot on the podium four times and winning once; is an Ultra-Trail World Tour champion; and among other feats, holds the World Female Record for running up and down Mount Kilimanjaro. “In Brazil, I was always running on the trail. So my love for the waterfalls and the rivers and for the nature there was giant, so that was part of myself.” Fernanda studied law at university because it was her dream to become an environmental lawyer and protect nature in her home state in Brazil.  She practiced law for a time, but was dismayed by the role that politics play in determining environmental policy. “Maybe I can do something for the environment, but being outside, being outdoors… just inspire people to be a little bit more aware about what's going on.” She decided that she could make a greater impact by committing herself to ultrarunning full time and bringing attention to environmental and social issues in the places where she runs. The White Flow project was born, and began with her becoming the first woman to run the Camino de Santiago de Compostela (860km in ten days), which she did to raise funds for children with cancer in Spain and Brazil.   “I did this project in Aconcagua, running up and down the highest mountain in America, and then part of the project was also about the environment and how they recycle their rubbish in the park.” Fernanda had dreamed of running up and down Aconcagua, in Argentina, and in 2016 became the first woman to do so.  She used the feat to learn about and share how a huge national park can manage the garbage left by visitors.  “I think more than the win, is for me just to finish. You suffer, you learn so much, you know, when you suffer, and during this race, you learn a lot.”  Fernanda has taken on a new challenge every year, but there's one that she's done multiple times  - the UTMB.  It starts and finishes in Chamonix, in the French Alps, and covers around 170 kilometers (106 miles), circumnavigating Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe.  Although she lives in Chamonix now,  the cold conditions are still a challenge for her; as she says, “I think because I'm from Brazil, I need to train three times more than European people.”  Although she's been victorious there, there have also been times when she hasn't finished, but she doesn't regret them. “The victory is cool,” she says, “but I think I learned so much when I couldn't finish.”  This year Fernanda has had to forgo races and record-setting after suffering a brain injury in February, while belaying her boyfriend rock climbing.  She's on her way to a full recovery, and says that as a result of the accident, “I'm really connected right now much more to the universe than I was before.” “Just be grateful for where you are right now.  I think the simple life is the most beautiful one and I wish the best for everybody. And yeah, just enjoy the mountains and the trails because this is a beautiful gift that you have.” Resources: Fernanda's website Fernanda's Facebook Fernanda's Instagram Fernanda's Twitter Running Realized: Running and Climate Change with the UN Humanitarian Office Running Realized: The Sustainable Road Race Fernanda's video for the UN's World Humanitarian Day Thank you to Athletic Greens, goodr, and Insidetracker for sponsoring this episode.

Mandy Wallace competed in the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB).  UTMB is regarded as one of the most difficult foot races in the world.  It is often considered the Olympics of the Ultra world community. Mandy had her sights on this race since she was a kid, and thought she would never be able to compete in it after suffering severe knee injuries in university. With her determination and driving force, she started to train in 2018, with marathons in New Zealand, the Chase The Coyote 50k in Ontario, (which she won), Bromont Ultra 160k in Quebec and Oman Ultra in the middle east. Even while she suffered through stomach issues, knee pain, and of course was sleep deprived she still managed to get it done in over 45hrs.   This is Mandy's story...    You can follow Mandy on Instagram here : nurse_wallace   Check out GottaRunRacing website here: gottarunracing.com Check out our Youtube Channel at GottaRunRacing Check out GRR Facebook here: GRRFacebook Check out GRR Instagram here: GRRInstagram Check out GRR Twitter here: GRRTwitter

Fresh off his finish as America's top male at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), Colorado ultrarunner Luke Jay discusses his keys to success, including a laid-back attitude that involves focusing on family and work while racing for fun. Luke organizes the adrenalin project, a collective of mountain athletes on Instagram @theadrenalinproject.

L'année dernière, Mathieu Blanchard a couru 650 km en Gaspésie. En 2021, le Québécois d'adoption a terminé troisième à l'Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), la mythique course en sentier de 170 km qui a lieu dans les Alpes françaises. Pourtant, il est le premier à prôner des sorties... de 10 minutes! Une rencontre qui donne envie de se surpasser, un kilomètre à la fois.

À l'approche du Québec Mega Trail qui se tiendra du 13 au 15 août 2021 entre Charlevoix et le Mont Sainte-Anne sur la Côte-de-Beaupré, je jase avec quatre athlètes qui prendront part à l'événement. Audrée Lafrenière, une fille de Shawinigan qui vit dans le coin de Vancouver depuis une douzaine d'années revient dans sa province natale pour participer à son premier ultra en sol québécois, après de nombreuses années à performer sur la côte ouest et en Europe. Lyzane Trépanier, une maman de deux et infirmière de profession prendra sa revanche sur la distance mythique de 100 miles, après deux abandons sur l'Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) en 2018 et 2019. L'illustrateur, auteur et enseignant Jean-Philippe Lebeau se lance pour une troisième année consécutive sur l'épreuve de 110 km, dans une approche zen et décontractée. Claude Auchu, pour sa part, est la recrue du groupe alors qu'il s'élancera sur le QMT50. L'homme d'affaires et chef de la direction de l'agence publicitaire lg2 a profité de la pandémie pour commencer à courir et moins de 18 mois plus tard, il s'apprête à se lancer sur son tout premier ultra. Ensemble, nous discutons de leur parcours, de leur préparation, de leurs objectifs, de leurs stratégies et de leur état d'esprit à l'approche du jour J. Ne manquez pas l'épisode 52, dans lequel je m'entretiendrez avec les quatre mêmes athlètes quelques heures après leur course. Bonne écoute!Merci à Jean Fortier et Alexandre Mailhot du Québec Mega Trail pour le partenariat et la collaboration.

Lizzy Hawker is one of the worlds best ultra and endurance athletes. Some of her career highlights include five wins at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), former World Record holder for 24 Hours, and winner of the 2006 IAU 100 km World Championships. In 2013 she set the record for running the 199 miles between Mount Everest South Base Camp and Kathmandu, Nepal, in 63 hours. While training for the UTMB, Lizzy ran along the footpath of the Tour de Monte Rosa many times. This experience led her to create a new race, the Ultra Tour Monte Rosa, which runs for 93 miles from Grächen to Zermatt, on through villages in Italy, before returning to the start point. It incorporates more than 32,000 feet of ascent and descent over technical terrain. Lizzy ran, hiked and climbed 1,600 km across the Himalayas in Nepal in 2016 Ultra Tour Monte Rosa https://www.ultratourmonterosa.com Originally on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gko8Ks15ggw

In this BONUS episode we speak to ultra runner, mother of three and Women in Sport board member Sophie Power.Sophie's life changed when a photograph of her breastfeeding her three-month-old son whilst running the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) went viral. Without being able to defer her place despite being pregnant, Sophie decided to attempt the 106-mile race three months postpartum. Sophie explains the story behind the photograph, why it made such an impression on her and other people around the world and how she has been inspired to empower other women (especially mothers) to pursue their goals no matter what they want to achieve.In the interview we also talk about pelvic health, why it's important to keep pregnant women active, how to get more girls involved in sport and how Sophie (the second slowest at school) became an accomplished ultra runner.Resources:Sophie Power's Instagram: @ultra_sophieSophie Power's website: https://www.sophiepower.com/blogTelegraph Women's Sport article: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/womens-sport/2019/10/17/sophie-power-story-behind-viral-picture-breastfeeding-son-ultra/BBC News article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-45560184We would like to thank our title sponsor for series 2 -Pretty Athletic.

Tom Evans made his mark on the ultrarunning world in 2017, when he came third in the 251km desert ultra Marathon des Sables. Despite entering on the back of a bet with a friend, having won the first ultra he entered, the 2016 Beacons Ultra, his third-place finish was the best result any European had ever achieved in the history of the race. Tom astounded once again in 2018 when he won the 101km CCC race at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB). It was the pinnacle of an incredibly successful racing year, which also saw him take the top spot – and break course records – at the Coastal Challenge Costa Rica and the South Downs Way 50. A British Army Captain, Tom was little known to the ultrarunning world until 2017 but is now one of the world's leading ultra-athletes. At the end of this episode, Tom springs a surprise by announcing his biggest goal for 2021.

Tom Evans made his mark on the ultrarunning world in 2017, when he came third in the 251km desert ultra Marathon des Sables (MdS). Despite entering on the back of a bet with a friend, his third-place finish was the best result any European had ever achieved in the history of the race. Evans astounded once again in 2018, when he won the 101km CCC race at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) – the pinnacle of an incredibly successful racing year, which also saw him take the top spot – and break course records – at the Coastal Challenge Costa Rica. At 2019's Western States 100, a near iconic fixture on the ultrarunning calendar, Evans took third place and even broke the record for the fastest overseas time at the Californian race, clocking 14 hrs 59 minutes in his debut 100-miler. A British Army Captain, Tom Evans was little known to the ultrarunning world until 2017, but is now one of the world's leading competitors.

One of the many conversations we enjoy on the trail is how each of us were introduced to trail and ultra running. Each of us has our own story. Although each of these stories are unique, there are some relatable common threads. In the book, The Rise of the Ultra Runners - A Journey to the Edge of Human Endurance, Author Adharananad Finn explores these stories as he walks through his journey into ultra running with the final destination of running the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), a 106-mile race through the French Alps.

Ever wonder why someone would want to run distances longer than the marathon? Isn't the marathon hard enough? What about hundreds of miles through the woods, across the desert, or up a mountain? If you ever wondered how any runner becomes an ultra runner, and why, these are the questions explored in Adharanand Finn's latest book The Rise of the Ultra Runners. Adharanand Finn is a journalist and a runner living and working in the UK. This book reads like a story but provides lots of information about ultra-running, well known (and some not so well known) ultra-runners, and Adharanand's own journey into becoming an ultra-runner. In this episode, we had the pleasure of interviewing the author and he tells us about his journey to become an ultra-runner and how the experience changed him. Adharanand completed a series of ultra-races including the Oman Desert Marathon, the Miwok 100, the Comrades Marathon (this name is misleading as it is actually a 90 km race), the Dorset Coast 45 mile race, a 24-hour track race, and the Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB). He tells us about the experience of running these races, and about some of the people he met along the way.Thank you to Pegasus Books for providing us a review copy, and also putting us in contact with the author for the interview.

Ahora el corredor Pau Capell del equipo The North Face gana casi todas las carreras en las que compite. Cuando le conocimos en el 2014 subió al podio del Trail Menorca Camí de Cavalls de 185 km. Es la vuelta completa a la isla de Menorca por el histórico Camí de Cavalls. Con tan solo 22 años compartió 170 km con otro corredor y demostró una madurez y calidad humanas en la competición que hemos querido recordar con él seis años después. - Y aquí os dejamos la "persecución" de Rafel a Pau. Un intento vaya ;) https://vimeo.com/412225522

Courtney Dauwalter is a professional trail runner for Salomon, living in Golden Colorado. She won the Western States 100 in 2018, the 2019 Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), as well as having wins at multiple races and distances worldwide. She has represented the USA at the 24 Hour World Championship, and is a former American Record holder in the 24 hour event. Just after this interview was recorded, Courtney was named Ultrarunning Magazines  #1 Ultra Runner of the Year (UROY) for 2019, for the second year in a row. Courtney is a teacher, but has taken an indefinite sabbatical to pursue running full-time.

Je pars donc à la rencontre de ceux qui donnent le sourire au vin... comme l'agent très très spécial Romuald Cardon.  Cette conversation a filé, vite trop vite, et j'ai regretté d'y avoir mis un terme. Il aurait fallu au moins 2 épisodes tellement j'avais de questions pour cet agent de vignerons amoureux de montagne, de sport... mais aussi de bande-dessinée et de gastronomie. Dans le désordre, nous avons parlé de son métier, bien sûr : un métier de rencontres, où l'humain est au centre de tout. Un métier d'assiduité, d'endurance ! Nous avons aussi parlé de l'évolution de la cuisine, de liberté, de l'émotion (rare !) que l'on peut rencontrer à l'occasion d'un accord mets & vins, d'ultra-trails, d'ivresse et de soirées qui se terminent à l'aube, de confiance, de respect de l'autre, de chaussure bien sûr ! C'est un véritable entrepreneur que vous allez écouter, et son histoire est riche d'enseignements : celle d'un enfant qui n'a jamais réussi à l'école, et qui se retrouve aujourd'hui à la tête d'une entreprise florissante. Son expérience, il ne l'a pas apprise dans les livres, mais sur le terrain, et surtout au contact des vignerons.  Une conversation précieuse, inspirante et pleine d'espoir. N.B.: Nous n'avons pas parlé de Vendanges Solidaires, une association qui aide les jeunes vignerons à traverser les aléas des épreuves climatiques, une association d'utilité publique (qui accepte les dons !), et que Romuald a fondée il y a 4 ans. Pour l'anecdote, dimanche dernier au Resto-Zinc, j'ai eu en direct le témoignage d'un vigneron avec qui je travaille, Sylvain Liotard du domaine des 13 Lunes. Sylvain a insisté : l'association a permis à son tout jeune domaine de survivre après une saison dramatique ! N'hésitez pas à faire un tour sur leur site Internet.

Allí aprenderás que Paola Fierro es una ultramaratonista colombiana. Con 41 años, ha ganado múltiples carreras como runner totalmente aficionada. Hasta el momento, Paola Fierro ha corrido 4 ultras de 160 kilómetros y 18 maratones. Recientemente terminó dentro de las 40 mejores mujeres del mundo en la carrera principal del circuito de ultras de montaña del mundo: La Ultra Trail de Mont-Blanc (UTMB). Acaba de correr en la maratón de Viña del Mar y ahora pone su mirada en El Cruce a inicios de diciembre 2019.   Ganando experiencia. Paola Fierro no siempre fue una ultrera destacada. Lo que fue una invitación casual de un amigo a correr una ultra de 80 kilómetros en asfalto por las afueras de Bogotá, se convertiría en la chispa que despertó su amor por la larga distancia. Antes de correr su primera carrera de 100 millas (160 kilómetros), corrió alrededor de 15 a 20 ultramaratones de 80 a 100 kilómetros. Preparando su cuerpo y mente. Aprendiendo a leer la montaña y entendiendo cómo era este mundo de ultra trail running. En ese proceso, ha ganado decenas de carreras y se ha posicionado como una de las mejores ultreras femeninas del mundo.   Chicamocha Canyon Race. En el episodio, Paola Fierro nos explica cómo fue pionera en correr ultras en Colombia. Muy pocos eventos y con una logística por perfeccionar era la realidad en el 2010. Sin embargo, el sueño de toda ultrera era la UTMB. No obstante, Paola Fierro no se preocupó inicialmente por reunir los famosos 15 puntos para clasificar a la UMTB. Con pasos de bebe, acumulo experiencia y empezó a dominar cada distancia. Chicamocha, una carrera que se celebra en el mes de junio en el cañón de Chicamocha en el departamento de Santander, fue una gran escuela. Participó en varias distancias inferiores a las 100 millas. Finalmente, en el 2017 se lanzó por la distancia máxima que ofrece Chicamocha y ganó las 100 millas con en 39 horas. Al siguiente año, se coronó nuevamente, mejorando su récord del circuito por cinco horas. 34:45 fue su crono.   UTMB. Participar en este mundial del ultrarunning, no es nada fácil. Inicialmente, se debe acumular 15 puntos en máximo 3 carreras. El número de puntos va directamente proporcional a la dificultad de la carrera. Por ejemplo, Chicamocha otorga 6 puntos. Vale la pena recordar, que el sistema de calificación para el 2021 será totalmente diferente. Stones (piedras), será la nueva escala. Paola Fierro hizo la tarea dos veces. En el 2018 fue rechazada. En el 2019 fue una de las 2543 personas aceptadas. Todo un honor, ya que más de 26.000 runners quieren un cupo a una de las 5 distancias ofrecidas por la organización alrededor del Mont-Blanc UTMB: Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc: 171 km +10,040 metros de ascenso. CCC: Courmayeur – Champex – Chamonix: 101 k +6,100 mts de ascenso. TDS: Sur les Traces des Ducs de Savoie: 121 km +7,300 mts de ascenso. OCC: Orsières – Champex – Chamonix : 56 km +3,460 mts de ascenso. MCC: De Martigny-Combe à Chamonix: 40 km +2,300 mts de ascenso. Adicionalmente, hacen parte estas dos carreras: Una por equipos y otra para jóvenes: PTL: La Petite Trotte à Léon: 300 km +30,000 mts de ascenso. YCC: Youth Chamonix Courmayeur: 15 km +1,100 mts de ascenso.   Una carrera ‘ruda’. Paola Fierro describe la UTMB como una carrera ruda. No es para menos. De las 2543 personas que arrancaron, solo 1556 personas lograron llegar a la meta en Chamonix. Es decir, solo el 61% terminó la carrera con éxito. Escucha el episodio para aprender como Paola Fierro narra: Lo que sentía cuando veía en cada puesto de control la mesa de abandonos. Plan de carrera vs. realidad basado en circunstancias de carrera. Sus sensaciones en el kilómetro 80. Fortaleza mental. Sacrificios. Nutrición.   Paola Fierro, la entrenadora. Paola se desempeña actualmente como entrenadora en el centro Tritech. Un centro con alta tecnología para triatletas, ultreros y runners. El perfil tradicional, son personas profesionales y ocupadas que no tienen tiempo para entrenar con un equipo.

Top-39 en el mundo en la UTMB appeared first on Trotadores.

Welcome to series five! For our first episode, we have a special before and after on all things Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), with past guest Gayle Tait and myself as your hosts and guests rolled into one. I was excited for the opportunity to catch up with ultrarunning mama Gayle nine months or so after our first conversation (if you haven’t yet heard this, go check out episode 25). We dug into the difficult stuff last time; Gayle told us about her history with depression and PTSD, and an attempt she made to end her life in 2018. After everything Gayle has been through over the last couple of years, I was delighted she’d been able to make it injury-free to the start line in Chamonix. To give an insight into this monster trail race for those not in the know, UTMB is a 106-mile ultramarathon around the stunning Trail du Mont Blanc in the Alps. Over 2,000 runners. who have worked patiently to build up the entry points and get through the lottery system, leave Chamonix on a Friday evening, and most don’t return until Sunday. They traverse ten mountain passes, ascend over 10,000 metres – higher than Everest - and cross two borders into Italy and then Switzerland before closing the loop back into France. Gayle and I shared a three-day recce run around the course in early August, then caught up again in Chamonix before the race to talk race plans, preparations and fears. It was my third dance at the race and Gayle’s first. The audio is not perfect as we struggled to find quiet space in our apartments to record, so resorted to an outdoor greenspace – mostly quiet with the occasional helicopter circling overhead. Indicative of the circus that is Chamonix pre-race. Then we headed off into the mountains to make our UTMB 2019 memories, catching up a week after the race to relive our experiences. Enjoy!

Paola Fierro condecorada ultramaratonista colombiana. Ganadora de múltiples ultras de trail nacionales e internacionales. Tiene un tiempo récord en las 100 millas de 27:22:07. Adicionalmente, terminó 39 en el mundo en la UTMB 2019.  En este episodio, nos cuenta sus inicios en las carreras de calle y entrenamiento peculiar. Paola nos cuenta como un problema de tiroides la llevó a empezar a correr 20 minutos al día. Luego, con dos bebés en un coche comenzó a correr 10 kilómetros diarios para mantenerse unida al running. Hemos dividido la entrevista en dos episodios: Parte 1 hablamos de calle. Parte 2 hablamos de montaña. Recuerda, puedes escuchar el episodio entero con el reproductor que encuentras a continuación.

Paola Fierro es una ultramaratonista colombiana. Se desempeña muy bien tanto en montaña como en calle. A sus 41 años ha logrado cosas en el mundo del atletismo increíbles. Sin embargo, se enorgullece de ser una mujer independiente, madre de Simón y Juanita y entrenadora en el centro Tritech. Aunque fue contador público por muchos años como profesional, varias cosas la llevaron a renunciar a su trabajo y buscar un estilo de vida más saludable. En el 2006 por un desorden metabólico que la tenía con sobrepeso y con imposibilidad de quedar embarazada, empezó a correr 20 minutos por su casa al norte de Bogotá. Menos de tres años después los kilos se derritieron y dos embarazos exitosos fueron razones adicionales para enamorarse del running para siempre. A la fecha, ha competido en 4 ultras de 160 kilómetros, 17 maratones, incluyendo 4 Boston. Recientemente terminó dentro de las 40 mejores mujeres del mundo en la carrera principal del circuito de ultras de montaña del mundo: La Ultra Trail de Mont-Blanc (UTMB).   Sus inicios. Aunque hoy es reconocida como la mejor ultramaratonista colombiana y una de las mejores del mundo, esa no siempre fue Paola Fierro. A sus casi 30 años empezó a correr y cuando la invitaron a una carrera de 10 kilómetros no podía visualizar correr esa distancia. Como todos, poco a poco fue progresando y bajando tiempos. En sus primeros 10k, logró 42 minutos. En su primera media maratón: 1:40. Estos resultados la sorprendieron; pues su entrenamiento era muy básico y nada enfocado. Por cosas de la vida, quedó embarazada dos veces y dio a luz a Simón y Juanita. No queriendo perder lo que estaba sembrando, decidió comprarse un coche BOB para gemelos aprobado por IronMan para correr. Fue así, como por casi 4 años construyó una base sólida corriendo en la cicloruta 10 kilómetros 5 a 6 veces por semana. Después de años corriendo limitada por el coche, sintio una fuerza extra cuando pudo entrenar de manera más organizada y con brazos libres. Después de decenas de 10k y 21k, se lanzó en el 2012 a correr la maratón de Medellín. Allí lograría un tiempo de 3:35 y pondría su mirada en clasificar a Boston prontamente.   Maratonista de calle. Por razones prácticas, Paola Fierro ultramaratonista colombiana se inició en calle. Desde muy temprano le dijeron que la meta de toda maratonista aficionada debía ser clasificar a Boston. Por su disciplina, Paola no solo logró clasificar a Boston sino también tiene el orgullo de ser una maratonista de calle sub3. En sus propias palabras, ella no es la mejor maratonista ni la mejor ultramaratonista colombiana, pero si es la mejor que hace las dos disciplinas. Por ejemplo, terminó en el podio general en Lima 42k detrás de dos Etíopes. También, ha sido la mejor latinoamericana varias veces en la maratón de Miami. Aunque podría tener mejores resultados si se dedicara a una sola disciplina, a Paola ultramaratonista colombiana le encantan los dos mundos por razones que nos cuenta en el episodio. Aquí te dejamos dos enlaces a entrevistas que Paola ultramaratonista colombiana ha hecho antes, donde nos habla de cosas puntuales a su entrenamiento e inicios. WinSports y Revista Ultra Trail.   Ultramaratonista colombiana. Aunque su palmarés como maratonista de calle aficionada no es nada despreciable, es como ultramaratonista colombiana que realmente ha sobresalido. En el episodio nos cuenta como la vuelta a la sabana, una ruta de 80 kilómetros que los ciclistas hacen a las afueras de Bogotá, fue el punto de inclinación. Nos describe como competencias de muy largo aliento como las triatlones siempre la cautivo. El hecho de empezar muy temprano en la madrugada y seguir haciendo actividad física hasta muy adentro en la noche le intrigaba e inspiraba. Poco a poco, se fue incursionando en el mundo de la montaña haciendo las carreras que apenas estaban siendo organizadas en Colombia. En la segunda parte de la entrevista, episodio 90, nos metemos a fondo en el mundo de ultramaraton en montaña. Ha ganado carreras icónicas en Colombia y en el mundo. También, hablaremos de su participación en la UTMB.   Contacta a Paola Fierro.

This is the second part of the super special episode with Giles Ruck and Gavin Bussey, two incredible guys who I am honoured to call friends. They joined me for a marathon conversation about their life-changing adventure at a monster multi-day event called the Petit Trot de Leon (PTL) last year, the big daddy of the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) series. By the UTMB's design this is not a race but a run, and quite a run it is: 25,000 metres of ascent over a highly technical, alpine 300km route, with a 152hr time limit. We hear about the kind of preparation they did as well as the gritty details of how the days unfolded; the highs to some dark and vulnerable struggles. We hear about the sleep deprivation, calories consumed, staying strong through storms, teamwork tactics and what the experience has done for their friendship. Come listen in and show these amazing guys your love!

Na een korte vakantiebreak is LoopPraat terug. Te gast in aflevering zeven is ultraloper en sportmasseur José Vicente. José deed onlangs mee aan de Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), een waanzinnig zware trailwedstrijd van 170 kilometer met 10.000 hoogtemeters rondom het Mont Blanc-massief. Maar José haalt de finish niet, […]

After an amazing run that resulted in a brutal DNF, Tim Tollefson joins us to chat about his training for the incredible UTMB as well as the fall and wound that contributed to having to drop. This guy's legit.

Yeter ki İste' nin bu hafta birbirinden değerli üç koşucu konuğu vardı. Dr. Alp Yörük: Tarabya sahilden Chamonix' nin dağlarına... 2015 yılında 96 kg iken yapılan 4-5 km' lik koşulardan, 2017  yılında UTMB TDS 119 km 7250 metre irtifalı yarışlara, 27 saatlere ve 77 kg' a! IT sektöründe partneri  olduğu bir şirketten arta kalan zamanlarında, amatör olarak dağ koşuları ile ilgileniyor. Onun için koşu artık bir yaşam biçimi.

Shalane Flanagan may have won this year’s TCS New York City Marathon, but the next American to cross the line was Allie Kieffer, who finished in 2:29. Not only did Allie nab a 26-minute personal best time that day, she was also the fifth place overall finisher. Not bad for a self-coached, unsponsored runner from Buffalo, NY! On this episode, Allie talks about every aspect of her groundbreaking race, from the injury that almost kept her from lining up at the start — but that ultimately led to the strong race she had — to her mental state before, during, and immediately after the race. She explains how what was once her greatest fear — running the race alone — ended up being the greatest gift, and breaks down how she managed to negative split a tough course, passing a handful of runners in that final 10K. Allie talks about how — and why! — she set the world record for the fastest indoor marathon last year (that’s 211 loops around a 200-meter indoor track, by the way), and opens up about the tremendous and tragic losses she and her family have faced over the years, including the death of her sister. Then, Allie talks about her struggles with body image, and offers up her advice for women going through similar experiences, as well as what she wishes all female runners understood. And then, of course, she talks about the question everyone’s asking: What’s next for Allie Kieffer?
