This is great little insight into Kilian’s next project by the man behind the camera, Seb Montaz.
Seb is without doubt one of the best cinematographers out there. He has worked closely with Kilian over the years and between them they are the perfect combination. Kilian performs the magic with his feet, Seb performs the magic with his eyes. Together it is a stunning combination.
Every now and again you get a product to test that ticks all the right boxes and you say to yourself “no way are you being sent back!”
This has just happened with the UltrAspire SPRY race pack. A really awesome solution for being minimal on your runs but not skimping on the essentials. You can read the review here
I am really pleased to announce that Nick Clark will be the next guest on Talk Ultra episode 11.
Nick is a Brit that most people seem to think is an American… well he’s not, he’s British and despite what anyone else says, even Nick for that fact, he is staying British.
Nick is a top guy. I had the pleasure of finally meeting him and spending time with him in La Palma and then the Pyrenees. For me, Nick did one of the best ‘doubles’ in 2011 getting 3rd place at Western States and then 3rd place at Hardrock some 2 weeks later. Great result!
Anyway, Western States is around the corner and Nick will be on the start line. I will be chatting to him about his past, his expectations for the future and also about Zegama. You can read his Zegama blog post here. I also may even ask him about his birthday and about how we celebrated in the Pyrenees… but who knows, that may just be too much info!
Talk Ultra episode 11 will be available on June 15th via talkultra.com
Another great video to come out of the island of La Palma and once again filmed by the master, Seb Montaz.
It’s a who’s who of ultra running but I guess showing them in a different light… at play in the lava fields.
Thanks to Marcus Warner from Ultra 168 for a great memory…
A little training run on the Zegama course. Mike Wolfe, 2nd at Western States explains the terrain – “Douche Grade’
It only takes a few beers, the side of a volcano, some of the best ultra runners in the world and the talent of Salomon Team Manager, Greg Vollet to put Usain Bolt’s 100m record to bed! Well, sort of…
Admittedly, Greg did say after his run that he has a new respect for Usain Bolt. It is all well and good running down a vertical slope and ‘just’ breaking the record, BUT to go that fast on the flat is quite something else.
Well done Greg. It was a pleasure to see this at first hand. What a fun way to spend a few hours.
A wonderful film by @TAA The African Attachment and Salomon Running on what it is like preparing for a race season. It’s not all work but play…
Another wonderful film to come out of the island of La Palma and the Transvulcania race. This time by Salomon Running and featuring British runner and 2nd place in the race, Andy Symonds.
A hard and extreme Ultramarathon, proof that only men of iron and women of steel can overcome, many try, many want to, but only a few will achieve the goal. The body is pushed to extremes in a race that all who participate call spectacular, breathtaking, addictive, and challenging. The 2012 event included a stellar line up with athletes travelling from all over the world to take part. To reach the goal of the finish line is everybody’s dream but the reality is not an easy one… welcome to the fourth edition of the Salomon Transvulcania Nature Trail
Inspirational and what a teaser. Filming by the best in the business, Sebastien Montaz
