In one of the most exciting moments of our lives, we sat down with Kilian Jornet, aka the GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Kilian is the winner of almost every major race around the world, most recently UTMB and the Hardrock 100 just four weeks apart. He's also a dad of two and a founder of shoe company NNormal, bringing a process-focus to his life on and off the trails. In the episode, we talk about the dynamics of racing UTMB, how he trained for his dominant 2022, take a deep dive into the physiology of training and how his approach has evolved over time, why he doesn't do strength work, speed work for mountain racing, being a business boss, and balancing it all with family.
We love Kilian, and we know you will too. May we all make love to the mountains! White spandex is optional, but encouraged.
