Tom Joly of the Kailas FUGA Elite Team joins the podcast to talk through a pivotal stretch in his season — dealing with a DNF at UTMB, addressing iron deficiency, and putting together a strong, confident run at Grand Trail des Templiers to finish 3rd.
We talk about:
– What actually went wrong at UTMB
– How iron deficiency was discovered and managed
– Training at altitude and rebuilding after disappointment
– Nutrition adjustments through this period
– The mindset behind “failing forward”
– Executing a smart, composed race at Templiers
An honest conversation about frustration, reflection, rebuilding, and turning things around with patience and intent.
