Kilian JORNET está preparando la Western States Endurance Run, una carrera muy "corredera" y habitualmente muy calurosa. Es corredera porque apenas tiene 30m+ por cada km longitudinal: un total de 5200m+ para 160K. De hecho, el récord masculino de 14h09 supone correr a un ritmo promedio de 5'00/km. En cuanto al calor, cabe decir que la Western es "el laboratorio de pruebas" de las estrategias de adaptación al/ mitigación del calor de las carreras de montaña. Muchas cosas que se vienen viendo en ciclismo desde hace tiempo se empiezan a aplicar a carreras de montaña en la Western. Y, curiosamente, ni los perfiles correderos ni los ambientes calurosos se le dan bien a Kilian. De ahí que esté teniendo que implementar un régimen de entrenamiento muy específico y que requiere mucha disciplina. Ésas son las dos características del entrenamiento de Kilian que analizamos aquí y las dos lecciones que sacar del mismo y que, quizás, trasladar a nuestro entrenamiento. --- Si quieres apoyar este podcast, sígueme en https://www.instagram.com/correrporsenderos/ Puedes mandarme un MD por ahí y plantear dudas o sugerencias.

Some composers picture colors or abstract shapes when they're working on a new piece. Derrick Skye thinks about space. His fascination with the cosmos is threaded throughout his compositions, including the latest in his series "Prisms, Cycles, Leaps." For our series on California composers. reporter Clare Wiley sat down with the Los Angeles-based Skye to hear how he brings his otherworldly ideas to life and how living in multicultural LA has influenced him.   Plus, we go to the oldest 100-mile ultramarathon in the world: The Western States Endurance Run. This grueling race starts near Lake Tahoe and winds along old mining trails in the Sierra, drops into the canyons of the American River, and finishes outside Sacramento. Thousands of people are on the waitlist to attempt it, but just a fraction make it to the starting line. The runners who do compete are overwhelmingly white, even though the race is trying to include more BIPOC athletes. KQED's Mark Nieto got to watch this year's race at the end of June and he followed one competitor who's inspiring other runners of color.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Women's ultrarunning is on fire right now with powerhouses like recent Barkley Marathons finisher Jasmin Paris, 40, and Lululemon FURTHER 6-day record smasher Camille Herron, 42, showing the world what midlife women can do. This week, we sat down with ultrarunning legend Pam Reed, who broke ground for women in the sport decades ago, winning races like Badwater 135 outright in 2002 and 2003, and talking about menopause at a time when athletes rarely uttered the word. Now 63, Pam is still blazing trails, most recently finishing the Hardrock 100, Badwater 135, and Western States Endurance Run–that's 337.5 miles total–in a span of 22 days. We talk all about how she gets it done, the hurdles she's faced, and what the future holds.Pam Reed has been a prolific ultrarunner since she entered the sport in 1992. She quickly excelled and won on the track, road, and trails. She is most well-known for her back-to-back Badwater 135 overall wins in 2002 and 2003. Over her career, she has at least 30 ultra wins, including 13 wins in races of 100 miles or more. In 2021, she became the 19th known person in the world to achieve 100 100-mile finishes with at least 45 podiums in those 100-milers. She has finished 65 full Ironmans, including 10 at Kona, Hawaii. In 2005, Pam authored the book, The Extra Mile: One Woman's Personal Journey to Ultra-Running Greatness. She was also the race director for the Tucson Marathon for 28 years.ResourcesFollow Pam at Tor des GéantsRegister for the Feisty Summer STRONG Course: https://www.womensperformance.com/strong Subscribe to the Feisty 40+ newsletter: https://feistymedia.ac-page.com/feisty-40-sign-up-page Follow Us on Instagram:Feisty Menopause: @feistymenopause Feisty Media: @feisty_media Selene: @fitchick3 Hit Play Not Pause Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/807943973376099 Join Level Up - Our Community for Active Women Navigating the Menopause Transition:Join: https://www.feistymenopause.com/monthly-membership-1 Leave your questions for Selene:https://www.speakpipe.com/hitplay Get the Free Feisty Women's Guide to Lifting Heavy Sh*t:https://www.feistymenopause.com/liftheavy Support our Partners:Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code HITPLAY at https://www.previnex.com/ Lagoon Sleep: Go to LagoonSleep.com/hitplay and take the 2 minute sleep quiz to find your match, and then use the code HITPLAY for 15% off your first purchase
