Jon Albon #195

This week we catch up with The North Face athlete, Jon Albon, one of the most versatile and consistent endurance athletes on the planet. We look back on his huge 2025 season, dig into what he’s building toward in 2026, and then take a deep dive into Gary’s new best friend: The Albon App… or Ascend, as it’s now known after the recent rebrand.

Jon brings his trademark clarity & humility. Whether you’re a mountain runner, an OCR die‑hard, or just someone who loves hearing from athletes who truly get it, this episode is packed with insight, laughs, and a few surprises!
