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 and 2024 UTMB champion, Vincent Bouillard (HOKA athlete & employee) for a pre-race interview. Vincent is joined by his wife and running industry veteran, Kamilah Journet. Vincent won UTMB in 2024 in what many consider the breakout performance of the year. Those who knew Vincent, were not surprised, but most of the trail running world watched along in awe as a humble, longtime HOKA employee ran away with the race and won UTMB. Vincent signed with HOKA as an athlete earlier this year so he can focus more on running, while still maintaining his high powered job. Vincent raced his way into Western States at Chainti by UTMB in March and this will be his first go at the race on Saturday. Kamilah is currently works at Salomon in Annecy, France. It was fun to hear from Kamilah on how things have changed since last August and how they've navigated this exciting time as a family. They share that they are welcoming their first child later this year, which changes how they will navigate life moving forward.   Make sure to tune into all of Freetrail's coverage leading into the 2025 Western States. We'll have a live daily show at 3:30pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of race week before we set our sites on the official broadcast where Dylan will be commentating, and we'll be providing photo and video coverage of the race for the Freetrail social channels.

Text us your thoughts about this episode or ideas for future episodes!In this special live episode of the Singletrack Podcast, we sit down with Abby Hall in our Olympic Valley studio just days before the 2025 Western States 100. Abby's path back to the start line of this iconic race is anything but typical—and it's a story of resilience, determination, and a little bit of fate.After enduring a traumatic injury in 2023 that sidelined her from the sport she loves, Abby made a courageous return to racing at UTMB last summer before chasing golden tickets across two continents this past spring. We unpack her gritty performances at the Black Canyon 100K and Chianti Ultra Trail, and how an unexpected turn of events ultimately secured her spot on this year's Western States start line.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 Leah on Instagram,  Strava, TwitterFollow Brett on Instagram, Strava, YoutubeFollow Finn on Instagram, Strava, YoutubeSupport the show

Est-ce que je n'aurais pas confondu boire et me rafraîchir ? Peut-on boire trop pendant une course ? Et si boire un peu trop ruinait notre performance au lieu de l'améliorer ?Quand il fait chaud on craint beaucoup la déshydratation. Et on entend beaucoup aussi parler de l'excès dangereux pour la santé, l'hyponatrémie. Et s'il y avait une situation intermédiaire peu confortable et qui complique la pratique sportive ?Dans cet épisode je vais vous expliquer l'erreur que j'ai faite le week-end dernier sur mon trail. Et que ça m'a appris et pourquoi il ne faut pas confondre se rafraîchir et boire.

Send us a textSam Lewis brings a wealth of experience to the starting line of the Broken Arrow 46K, having represented Team USA three times internationally and competed in the 23K version of this iconic mountain race twice before. In this compelling conversation, she shares the meticulous preparation that has her feeling "in the best shape of my life" heading into one of the season's most competitive events.Training from her temporary base in Boulder, Colorado has given Lewis the mountain-specific preparation needed for Broken Arrow's demanding terrain. Working with long-time coach Travis Fleck, she's compiled her highest-ever training volume while maintaining the physical health that's become the hallmark of their eight-year partnership. "He's always thinking about what I'm doing not just today, but five years from now," Lewis explains, highlighting the sustainable approach that's kept her performing at an elite level.Lewis reveals her tactical approach to the challenging two-loop course, describing herself as a hunter who patiently waits to strike on the second loop. "I like to hunt down my prey," she says with understated confidence, drawing on lessons learned from aggressive European race starts that left her frustrated. This balanced strategy reflects both physical preparation and philosophical grounding—Lewis holds a PhD in philosophy of sport and embraces the ancient Greek concept of "arete" (pursuing personal excellence) rather than fixating on placements.The conversation delves into equipment choices, including On's new Cloud Ultra Pro trail shoe that Lewis describes as "game-changing," nutrition strategies for mountain ultras, and the profound meaning she finds in representing her country. "Being on Team USA is one of the greatest honors of my life," she reflects, while maintaining perspective about the exceptional depth of American talent.Most compelling are Lewis's insights on mental resilience, drawn from races like the 2023 Verbier Marathon where she battled severe stomach issues yet finished. "It's not if it's going to happen in these ultra races, it's when," she notes about inevitable low points. This hard-earned wisdom, combined with her physical preparation and measured approach, makes Lewis a formidable competitor at Broken Arrow and beyond as she looks toward OCC at UTMB later this summer.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Manual del Corredor, en nuestra nueva sección de un CAFÉ CON ZAPATILLAS. Hoy traigo a una invitada que personifica esa mezcla de libertad y disciplina que tanto admiramos en la montaña: Cristina Palomo Congosto, más conocida en Instagram como @crispula87.Quizá la viste volar hace nada por las calles empedradas de Ronda, porque Cristina se proclamó campeona absoluta de los 101 km de La Legión 2024 con un tiempazo de diez horas y dos minutos, sacándole diecisiete al segundo dorsal femenino. Y por si fuera poco, este mismo año ha firmado victorias en el Ibiza Trail Maratón y en el Riaño Trail Run, elevando su índice UTMB a 642 y colándose entre las trail-runners más consistentes del panorama nacional.Lo curioso es que, si viajas un par de temporadas atrás, Cristina ni siquiera pensaba en ultras. Empezó a correr en 2017 “para desconectar”, se enganchó al trail en 2019 y, desde entonces, su progreso ha sido meteórico…

She works for HOKA and lives in Portland with her wife and two dogs.  Ari joined the Lane 9 podcast to talk about her recent move to the trails, on which she's already had some success! She recently finished 9th in her 50K debut at the 2025 Canyons Endurance Run by UTMB, and also happened to win a road 5K in Portland this spring. She played college basketball before getting into endurance running, and has navigated mental health, injuries, and setbacks in the sport.  We also talk about:  the challenges she navigated with both injuries and mental health during 2020 her CIM race in 2022, finishing in 2:35 to qualify for the 2024 US Olympic Team Trials Marathon and becoming the 3rd fastest US Born African American woman in the marathon her experience at the 2024 Marathon Trials why she got interested in running trails instead of sticking to road racing how she met her wife, and her experiences as an open LGBTQ+  and African American athlete what she's excited about in the sport Follow Ari Hendrix on Instagram @ari_hendrix1 Follow Lane 9 Project on Instagram @lane9project, on Bluesky, and Substack.  Connect with a clinician in the Lane 9 directory by going to Lane9project.org/Directory.

In this week's episode of the Trail Network podcast, hosts Leah Yingling and Rachel Drake reconnect for a deep dive into recent adventures, personal milestones, and reflections on life, pregnancy, and trail running.Leah kicks off the episode with a recap of her recent trip to Northern Wales, where she crewed for her husband, Mike, at Ultra Trail Snowdonia—a notoriously rugged and stunningly beautiful race often dubbed “Hardrock at sea level.” Leah shares her experience navigating the course logistics, supporting Mike through brutally technical terrain, and balancing the demands of international travel while six months pregnant. The pair also reflect on the underrepresentation of women in ultra-distance events like Snowdonia and the broader implications of participation barriers in these challenging races.Rachel then recounts her rim-to-rim crossing of the Grand Canyon, completed just days prior to recording, as part of a supported project with Osprey and Precision Fuel & Hydration. She offers a raw and thoughtful look at preparing for a major effort while pregnant, including fueling changes, unexpected physical challenges, and the importance of adaptability and community support. The two also reflect on their evolving pregnancies, comparing their experiences, training adaptations, and what it means to find joy in movement during such a transformational time.The episode wraps with a meaningful discussion around postpartum expectations, race deferral policies, and the nuanced realities of running through pregnancy and fertility journeys. They spotlight Stephanie Case's inspiring victory at the 100K at Snowdonia—six months postpartum and breastfeeding mid-race—as well as broader issues around representation, sponsorship policies, and UTMB ranking implications for pregnant athletes.With honesty, humor, and heart, Leah and Rachel celebrate the many ways women show up in the trail world—on the start line, crewing, parenting, recovering, and dreaming big.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A special thank you to Osprey for supporting this episode.

L'INTERVIEW de Duncan Perrillat Voici l'interview que le marathonien Duncan Perrillat a accordé à Distances+ juste avant son départ pour un tour de France en courant en 30 jours avec tentative de record du monde de la plus longue distance parcourue en un mois.Cette entrevue, extraite du 70e épisode de La Bande à D+ présenté par Nicolas Fréret, a été réalisée dans le cadre de la rubrique Esprit Wise.Esprit Wise, c'est un rendez-vous en partenariat avec la marque française de vêtements de courses techniques Wise Ultra Running, basée à Annecy, dans laquelle on vous parle de "off", d'itinérance et de voyages en courant. Dans ce segment de l'émission, nous vous racontons des histoires inspirantes d'athlètes, élites ou amateurs, qui se lancent ou réalisent des projets aventureux.Dans le 8e épisode de la 4e saison du talk-show du trail, Nicolas Fréret s'est entretenu Duncan Perrillat, 31 ans, champion de France de marathon en 2022, vainqueur en 2023 du 126 km du Trail du Saint-Jacques by UTMB, qui s'est élancé le 2 juin de chez lui à Grenoble pour un tour de France en courant avec l'objectif de battre le record du monde de la plus longue distance parcourue en 30 jours.Selon le Livre Guinness des records, il doit parcourir plus de 1900 km, mais son objectif est d'être de retour à Grenoble 30 jours plus tard avec plus de 3000 km à la montre, avec une originalité : faire le tour des marchés de France. Son projet a d'ailleurs été baptisé JOUR DE MARCHÉ.*** LES PARTENAIRES OFFICIELS DE LA BANDE À D+ ***

La Vall d’Aran no es un escenario. Es un organismo vivo que decide cuándo abrirte paso y cuándo cerrarte el camino. Aquí no mandan los relojes ni los récords personales, manda la montaña. Este fin de semana lo hemos comprobado en primera persona. Junto a Fred Urrutia —compañero en RUNNEA y periodista incansable— viajamos hasta Vielha para preparar la Val d’Aran by UTMB de este 2025. ¿El objetivo? Reconocer el terreno. ¿La experiencia? Mucho más que eso. Lo hicimos de la mano de Aran Discover, el único partner oficial de la prueba. Y lo que en principio iba a ser una toma de contacto con el recorrido, se convirtió en una lección de trail, de vida y de respeto por un entorno tan salvaje como bello. David y Fran, los fundadores de Aran Discover, no son guías al uso. Son corredores, locales, apasionados del terreno y de su cultura. “Este valle lo conocemos como si lo hubiéramos parido”, nos dicen mientras señalan una senda invisible entre pinos y rocas. Ellos han corrido las distintas distancias del evento. Han organizado la primera edición. Y, sobre todo, han entendido que lo que muchos corredores necesitan no es solo un track, sino contexto: saber lo que te espera en cada kilómetro, por dónde vendrá el calor, dónde escasea el agua o qué subida te vacía sin avisar. Aran Discover nace justo para eso: para ofrecer acompañamiento real, guiado técnico y asesoramiento logístico a quienes quieren llegar bien preparados a la carrera. Y no solo a la élite. “Hemos tenido desde corredores que van a por sus primeras 100 millas hasta atletas que pelean por puestos de podio”, explican. La montaña no discrimina. El respeto por el terreno es el primer paso para todos. Parece que lleva toda la vida en el circuito, pero esta será solo la quinta edición. La HOKA Val d’Aran by UTMB nació en 2021, tras un primer intento frustrado por la pandemia. Desde entonces, ha crecido hasta consolidarse como una de las grandes citas del calendario internacional. VDA (163 km): la vuelta entera a la Vall d’Aran. Majestuosa y brutal. CDH (110 km): la hermana pequeña, que no lo es tanto. Técnica, intensa y cambiante. PDA (55 km): con tramos memorables como Colomers o el Port de Rius. EXP (32 km): ideal para disfrutar sin morir en el intento. SKY : distancia más corta con salida en Beret, pensadas para trail runners explosivos o debutantes. Cada prueba tiene su lógica y su terreno. Y cada tramo es un mundo. Colomers no tiene nada que ver con Torán. Artiga de Lin no se parece a Liat. Aquí todo cambia. El paisaje, la piedra, el suelo, la altitud, el clima. Por eso, reconocer el terreno no es un lujo. Es parte del entrenamiento. En tres días aprendimos más que en semanas de planificación desde casa. Porque aquí el mapa no manda. Lo hace el cielo. Lo hace la nieve. Lo hacen las tormentas que entran en media hora y te obligan a improvisar. Como el viernes, en el Tuc de Couva, cuando una tormenta nos sorprendió en altura. Gracias a Fran, bajamos rápido y seguros por una ruta alternativa que él conocía al detalle. Al día siguiente, con David, recorrimos zonas de Montgarri y Montoliu con nieve acumulada. De nuevo, ruta alternativa. Sin su conocimiento, estaríamos hablando de otra cosa. Lo importante no es solo saber por dónde va el recorrido. Es entender por qué, cuándo y cómo abordarlo. Dónde dosificar. Dónde apretar. Qué zonas exigen técnica, cuáles son tramposas. Saber, por ejemplo, que entre dos avituallamientos pueden pasar cuatro horas. O que una subida que parece sencilla en el perfil, se te puede atragantar por calor, altitud o exposición. Hay algo más que queremos destacar. Algo que David y Fran nos repitieron durante todo el fin de semana: “No vengáis solo a correr. Venid a conocer”. La Vall d’Aran no se resume en un dorsal. Aquí hay gastronomía, historia, románico, cultura propia, lengua propia. Y gente. Mucha gente dispuesta a acoger al corredor con cariño. Si te obsesionas con el crono, te perderás todo lo demás.

Our InnerFight Endurance Ireland crew took on one of the UK's most iconic ultra races across 25K, 50K, and 100K distances – all in the stunning (and brutally steep) Welsh mountains.With UTMB points on the line and legends like Jon Albon in the elite field, the stakes were high – but so was the energy. From training on treadmills and Sugarloaf peaks to navigating freezing mornings and quad-shredding descents, our team showed what real preparation looks like.

Take a run with The Human Potential Running Series podcast. For Episode 66, HPRS Race Director John Lacroix discusses change and transitions. Change can be terrifying to the point that some people avoid it. It can also be necessary to grow. Transition is a word that can better describe change in a positive light. In this episode, John discusses aspects of the ultrarunning community that need to change for the sport to evolve. John also discusses how these aspects have affected his desire to self-identify as an ultrarunner, and how it ultimately leads to a period of transition at HPRS that will occur over the next 2-4 years. This is a heavy, incredibly personal episode, recounting challenging situations that have led to decisions that will affect the HPRS community for years to come.

Dans cet épisode #276, je vous invite à embarquer sur la plus belle montagne du monde. J'ai nommé la Sainte Victoire

In this episode, we speak to elite ultrarunner and author Damian Hall. While most teens were experimenting with smoking and drinking, Damian was already running cross-country races. He shares how his journey began with a half marathon in his hometown of Bath, eventually leading him to some of the world's toughest ultramarathons, including the notorious Barkley Marathons.We explore why Damian believes ultrarunning is “easier” than it seems, why he prefers tea over coffee, and what makes the fifth loop of the Barkley so brutal. Insightful, inspiring, and refreshingly honest, this is a conversation every runner should hear.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

Take a run with The Human Potential Running Series podcast. For Episode 65, HPRS Race Director John Lacroix and co-host Thomas Stott discuss a wide range of thoughts about race preparation strategies. Together, they take us on a journey from beginner training plans to using races as training. They tackle ego versus mindset, how one can be destructive on your journey and the other the base of your foundation. They tackle movement streaks, body and brain recovery, and what truly matters in the race prep journey. 

Kia ora e te whānau. It's always a party in the Blue Mountains. From the out-of-this-world scenery, to the amazing people, to the exceptional country that carries you, the Blue Mountains have it all. Add to this mix the atmosphere and celebration of Ultra Trail Australia being a UTMB world major, and you have a recipe for an incredible time. This year's UTA live special is in three parts. In part one, Ali and Matt speak to UTA miler athletes, Vlad Shatrov, Kellie Angel, and UTA22 guns Ben Duffus and Sara Levett at the first of the DCR live shows. Part two sees Matt head out onto the trails, with the 50km athletes, speaking to Sweep Manager and running legend Jane Trumper, adaptive athlete Mick Marshall, Father and Daughter duo Harry and Jess, and some Fairmont aid station action. We then head to Part 3, where we speak to some of the 50 and 100km runners. We try to crack Dan Jones' media training, we find out that a gorilla has no chance against 100 Caitlin Fielders, we sizzle in Beth McKenzie's laser focus, and dig into  2023 UTA100 winner George Murray's road to redemption in 2025.

In this week's episode, we're recapping Elena's speedy race and “effort PR” at the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati. We talk through why Elena chose to race a road marathon as part of her build for UTMB, her flexible approach to setting A/B/C goals, how she managed internal and external pressure, why feeling bad during the taper doesn't mean you're going to have a bad race, the mental prep she did to get ready for race day, how she designed and executed her race plan on a challenging course, why body weight has so much less to do with performance than we might think, what it was like to coach her husband Will (who also crushed it!) for this race, and why self-belief was the number one factor that led to her incredible performance. Katie and Elena also cover some fun insights on when and how to choose a big vs. small race, why the ability to “say yes” to anything physically is one of the greatest benefits of endurance training, how we think about integrating chat GPT into our training and coaching strategies (or not), and female athlete body pressures. This is a super rich episode full of insights for any athlete — check it out! View extended show notes for this episode here.To share feedback or ask questions to be featured on a future episode, please use ⁠this form⁠ or email: Katie@TheEnduranceDrive.com.

Send us a textWhen you hear Lindsay Allison's story, you might wonder how one person balances so many contrasting elements. A Stanford graduate working remotely from Telluride while training at an elite level, Lindsay embodies the modern trail runner who refuses to choose between career and athletic dreams.From her unexpected athletic background in competitive trampoline to her recent signing with Altra and podium finish at Big Alta 50K, Lindsay takes us through the fascinating journey that brought her to the trails. Her connection to Mount Tam, where she first fell in love with running as a high schooler, provides a beautiful through-line to her current life as a mountain athlete in one of America's most stunning landscapes.The conversation delves into the realities of living in remote Telluride – a double-edged sword offering unmatched mountain access but presenting logistical challenges that would deter many elite athletes. "You can be in the Alpine at 6 AM and at your desk by 9," Lindsay explains, revealing how she makes the most of this unique training environment despite its limitations. Her insights about the local running community showcase a refreshing perspective where the experience of the mountains trumps metrics and data.What truly stands out is Lindsay's approach to training volume. Running 100-115 miles weekly while maintaining a full-time job requires extraordinary discipline, yet she discusses it with remarkable practicality. "You have to have a reason for everything you're doing," she shares, offering wisdom about finding the right "imbalance" rather than pursuing perfect life balance.Looking ahead to Broken Arrow, Speed Goat, and ultimately CCC in the UTMB series, Lindsay's thoughtful race strategy reveals an athlete who knows her strengths and how to maximize them. Her candid discussion about race nutrition, including mishaps and solutions, provides valuable takeaways for runners at any level.Whether you're fascinated by the lifestyle of elite mountain athletes, curious about balancing professional careers with competitive running, or simply looking for inspiration from someone charting her own path, this conversation delivers honest insights from one of trail running's rising stars.Follow Lindsay on IG - @l_allisonFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow The Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podThis episode was brought to you by Ultimate Direction!

If you like running, this week's episode is for you! Kenton sits down to talk to Hem Rana, a remarkable man who 'got the running bug' after going along to a park run six years ago and has since completed multiple ultras. Hem talks to Kenton about his childhood in Nepal and his application to join the Gurkhas. He remains a serving Gurkha today and has lived in the UK for 27 years working for a variety of Gurkha regiments attached to the British Army. Hem used to run only because he had to, for fitness tests and PT sessions, but in 2019 he tried his local park run (5km) and loved it. Out of curiosity, he gradually built up his distances, moved from road to trail, and developed his confidence. He tells Kenton that he has completed several 100 milers, the Winter Spine race (twice!), UTMB and the Bob Graham Round, to name a few. Hem truly believes that everyone is capable of doing what he has done. If you're looking for a bit of inspiration today, look no further!

Send us a textThe ultra-trail world is buzzing as Canyon's 50K approaches, and we've got the ultimate preview loaded with analysis, predictions, and some good old-fashioned trash talk. In this special episode, host James Lauriello teams up with guest co-host Teddy Tonelli to break down what might be the most anticipated ultrarunning matchup of the year: defending champion Eli Hemming versus 2023 winner Hayden Hawks.These two titans of trail running bring nearly identical impressive résumés to the start line. Hawks recently dominated Terroir 50K with a blazing 3:18:46, while Hemming crushed Big Alta 50K in 3:19:30, leaving elite runners gasping in his wake. As Teddy puts it, "This should have a belt on the line" – it's that big of a heavyweight clash.The women's race promises equal drama with Jennifer "El Lobo" Lichtner squaring off against Tabor Hemming in a rematch of last year's battle where they were separated by just two minutes. Former champion Heather Jackson lurks as a potential spoiler after a disappointing showing at Black Canyon.Beyond the elite matchups, we dive into controversial topics like UTMB's eye-popping race fees ($285 for a 50K!), the exodus of talent from The North Face team, and what it means to "swim with sharks" when racing against the sport's best. We also spotlight dark horses who might surprise everyone, including local favorite Nick Handel and rising star Cade Michael.Whether you're placing bets, planning your race strategy, or just love ultra-trail drama, this episode delivers everything you need to know about one of America's premier ultrarunning events. And for those wanting even spicier commentary? Head to the Chasing Trail YouTube channel for the unedited "director's cut" version.
