TransGrancanaria 2025 Prep: The Journey Starts Here

Join Finn Melanson from the Singletrack Podcast as he takes you behind the scenes of his training and preparation for the 2025 Transgrancanaria Classic.

In this first vlog, Finn kicks off his training block with a workout at Liberty Park in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, alongside friends and local professional trail runners Rachel Drake, Caleb Olson, Aubrey Myjer, and Mike McMonagle. We also meet his new coach, Tyler Green, and dive into the motivations behind his race choice and the season ahead.

Yo, it's Eric here! I'm the random legend!!! Got passed by these guys absolutely busting out 5:30s and saw a challenge HAHA. I ran into your buddy Treyce today at Liberty and he told me about this video! Such an honor to run with someone of your caliber and your friends and pros! Best of luck in your race!!

Bro I just got into running 3 years ago and I am 39. In August I just had my 5th kid. I have to get up at 5am to get my runs in before the crew wakes up for the day. You got this man!!!

[mitchellmclaughlin]

Finn looks like the guy from Portland and Tyler Green looks like the guy from Utah.

All jokes. Thanks for the wonderful running content!

[TalkVertyToMe]

Is Finn becoming the “fast media guy”? Psyched for the series!

[ramblingrunner]

HELL YES!!! The Finn running content I’ve been hoping for.

All I can think is Leah saying, "Why is Finn so good at speed workouts?" Love seeing this type of content man!

[KidTempered]

Cool to see you in action :) Best of fortune in your preparation . Can't wait to watch the livestream of Gran Canaria 🖖

“Must be nice” to have so many fast friends! Good job building those relationships and putting them to work.

Also, I’VE RUN THAT PARK

Scratching the OG Ben Crawford videos itch but with trail runners… is this heaven?

Dude, this was rad! And you’re no way near done at 33. I always use the example of Mark Darbyshire, who’s pretty much the best UK 100mile mountain runner not named Tom Evans. He holds the CRs at almost all the big UK 100s and has a top20 at UTMB. He’s mid 40s and started running in his 30s. It’s never too late!

Best of luck 👊🏼

Brilliant! Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for sharing

[stephbennett]

This is awesome!!! As someone that is also training for a race in February while living in a predominantly winter town, looking forward to seeing how your training evolves! Regardless, you’re crushing it!!

[RunningMan]

This will surely be a great series, and with Tyler's guidance to boot!
