    đŸ€” What's the biggest challenge you face in your ultra running journey? đŸƒâ€â™‚ïž
  • @2spoons
    Wow.... listening to Kilian Jornet answering straight forward questions was very educational....... Much appreciated GTN!!!
  • @BDamen1984
    He listens to Punk. That's my takeaway 😎
  • @ngdawgs1
    YES!! More GOAT vids 🐐!!! oh.. and Mark too 😁. BTW.. now we know Mark listens to Shania Twain on his long runs đŸ».
  • Hehe he's not "arguably" the greatest, he is the GOAT according to anyone than knows anything abut trailrunning!
  • Interesting with the nutrition subject. Always wondered how the ultra runners think about nutrition. Now I realize that many of my friends ultra runners are not so informed about how to train the gut and how to timing the nutrition. For my triathlon friends it’s a part of the training. In many of our workouts we got nutrition. It’s written how much nutrition I should take in my training plan for the specific workout. I wonder if my friend in ultra running have that information in her training program. I noticed how much Mark enjoy listening to Kilian đŸ€©, I do also even I’m not an ultra runner.
  • Can we have a look at a trail triathlon soon? I come from MTB and love trail running too. Thanks for the KJ content.
  • @y3_38
    Waiting for blummenfelt in the channel
  • @RightRoundYe
    Has he ever won the association world champs in either mountain running or trail running?
  • @lekcindr
    it never ceases to amaze me how in a sport that is completely about efficiency, nobody EVER discusses the importance of running form. It's really pretty amazing, particularly when most people are heal strikers.
  • So what are tips on ultra running

”first wake up with a VO2 max of around 90”😂😂😂
