Get ready for an adrenaline-charged episode of the Steep Stuff Podcast! This week, I, James Lauriello, recount my exhilarating experience at the Cirque Series Alta race, where despite facing technical descents and calf cramps, I proudly snagged a top-10 finish. You'll get an insider's preview of the upcoming Matterhorn Ultraks Extreme race and hear from Jackson Cole, last year's top-10 finisher, as he shares his insights on tackling its daunting 25K course with 2,900 meters of climbing. Later, we set our sights on the Trofeo Kima Sky Race, promising a grueling 52K challenge that will push even the most seasoned runners to their limits.
In this episode, I also reflect on the distinct challenges and benefits of racing at various altitudes, with personal anecdotes from recent competitions, and how racing at different elevations has shaped my strategy and performance. Don't miss the exciting announcement of our upcoming Friday podcast featuring Cirque Series Alta winner Mason Kopi, whose inspiring journey and vision for the sport are nothing short of motivational. As I gear up for the Grand Targi race, which plays to my strengths, your support means the world to me. Tune in for a thrilling ride through the world of extreme trail running and beyond!
