In this episode I'm joined by Kris Jones!
Kris recently won the Arc of Attrition by UTMB 50 and he shares his experience at this years mud-fest!
This is Kris's first appearance on the Home Trails Podcast, so we obviously start with the obligatory Superhero Question. Kris comes from a background that combines world class orienteering with world class track and road running. Which clearly is the perfect combination, because he seems to win and set course records at every trail and ultra race he enters!
Kris talks in depth about his approach to training which prioritises fitness first, before moving into specific race phases. Something I will take home is his point about fitness trumping all other factors. He believes that if he's half marathon fit, then he's ready for most races, longer or shorter!
So time to dust off those road shoes and get the intervals and tempo runs flowing again!
