Rachel Entrekin and Kilian Korth just rewrote what we thought was possible at Cocodona 250.

Rachel became the overall champion, set the overall course record, and won Cocodona for the third time, making history in not only this race, but in the sport.

Kilian won the men’s race, set a new men’s course record, and overcame many years of challenges at this race to become the fastest male to ever ran the course.

In this episode, we sit down with Rachel and Kilian right after their historic performances to talk about what actually happened out there: the chase, the pressure, the doubts, the lows, the breakthrough moments, and what it takes to perform at the highest level in a 200+ mile race.

Things we discuss:

The moment Rachel decided to take the lead at mile 60 — and why she refused to wait for anyone else
What it felt like for Kilian to chase “a ghost” for nearly 200 miles
How Rachel ran up Mount Elden to make a statement — when most runners would be surviving
The pressure of being counted out, doubted, underestimated, or given an “asterisk”
Why Kilian believes 200-mile racing is not just “whoever is fastest”
The difference between being in pain and letting pain mentally break you
The 20-minute rule Rachel uses when something starts going wrong in a race

How Rachel and Kilian turned doubt into fuel
Why impossible goals might be more realistic than your spreadsheet says
What this race proved about human potential, belief, and the future of ultrarunning
