Martin Perrier | Tor des Géants 2026 | Pre-Race Interview

Martin Perrier, a couple of days out from his fifth Tor des Géants. He covers a tough year that started with three months off running through the winter, sticking to his race calendar anyway for two wins and two DNFs, and the 27,000 metres of climbing in 12 days in the Aosta Valley that got him feeling ready again. Martin also talks through capping his effort by heart rate, sleeping the minute he's sleepy after last year's zombie stretch before Champoluc, his headlamp strategy, and, as requested in the Trail Talk WhatsApp, his mantras for sleep deprivation and the low moments: no time to be tired, no time not to smile. Plus why he's targeting the course record and why hardly anyone who finishes the Tor never comes back.
