🤔 What's the biggest challenge you face in your ultra running journey? 🏃‍♂️

[spoons]

Wow.... listening to Kilian Jornet answering straight forward questions was very Much appreciated GTN!!!

[BDamen]

He listens to Punk. That's my takeaway 😎

[ngdawgs]

YES!! More GOAT vids 🐐!!! oh.. and Mark too 😁. BTW.. now we know Mark listens to Shania Twain on his long runs 🍻.

[marie-louisekarlander]

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 🤩, I do also even I’m not an ultra runner.

So what are tips on ultra running……”first wake up with a VO2 max of around 90”😂😂😂

[sportfittech]

My first ultra in July, keep the tips coming #GTN

[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.

2:51 my man just ran through a swarm of bees

[paulsslightlyactivelife]

Can we have a look at a trail triathlon soon? I come from MTB and love trail running too. Thanks for the KJ content.

[joakimpettersson]

Hehe he's not "arguably" the greatest, he is the GOAT according to anyone than knows anything abut trailrunning!

[y_]

Waiting for blummenfelt in the channel

[a.g.j.potman]

so, how do I train downhills in the Netherlands ;)

[RightRoundYe]

Has he ever won the association world champs in either mountain running or trail running?

[MichaelDavis-uuzh]

92 on vo2 max? Pretty much could give up oxygen at that point…

[ichbindoofhihi]

I tried to up my steps to 10k a day for the last week and my feet hurt a lot :)

[pezdacandyboi]

Does he bring his own potatoes and avocados? Or do you just eat what the aid station has and supplement with geld n stuff

[alexnice]

If Kenyan\Ethiopian had more interest in ultra running they would be the fastest runners, ever

[Daniel-fpqn]

He's spaniard. Of course he's the 🐐. Like Nadal, Alonso, Márquez, Real Madrid.... 🐐🇪🇦

[hektor]

He gets that fat is the long-run fuel.
