Sara Alonso is a professional trail runner from Spain sponsored by Salomon.
At only 22 years of age she's quickly becoming one of the best of our sport, with impressive results in many international races, especially in the Golden Trail Series, and a fans' favorite.
During the first part of her 2022 season, she won the Transgrancanaria Marathon, she finished 3rd in a ridiculously competitive Zegama (under the old course record) and she became national mountain running champion.
We chat about her training leading up to Zegama, how's she's getting ready for Mont Blanc Marathon, what it is like to compete for the Salomon Team, how important it is for a young athlete to handle the pressures and to remain concentrated on training and racing, despite the distractions coming from social media, sponsors and the increased popularity.
Enjoy the Spanish locura!!
