Emelie Forsberg is one of the most accomplished and inspiring trail runners of our generation, a mother, an entrepreneur, a farmer and so much more. She is from Sweden but she lives and trains in Romsdal, Norway. 
I met Emelie for the first time at Giir di Mont, (31km, 2700m elevation mountain race in Italy) in 2014. I had raced the day before and I was traveling back home with my girlfriend when we decided to stop for the night in Premana, to watch Giir di Mont and cheer the runners, because I knew she would be running there with Kilian. We slept in a sleeping bag under the stars, and the day after we woke up early in the morning to go out on the course. And that was my first memory of Emelie!
In this conversation we cover many topics that I've found incredibly inspiring and related to the present time: the development of her athletic career after giving birth to her second daughter last year, where she still finds the motivation and drive to train at a high level after so many years and achievements in the sport, her projects with her farm in Romsdal and Moonvalley, the state and the future of our sport, in particular related to female athletes.
