Martin Perrier – 2nd at Tor des Géants and What It Takes to Race for Days


Listen Later

Martin Perrier finished 2nd at the Tor des Géants, one of the most demanding ultras on the planet — a 330+ km race through the Italian Alps with over 24,000 metres of ascent.

In this conversation, we talk about what it really takes to perform at that level:

  • Martin’s background and path into ultra-trail running
  • Strengths that define his style — climbing, pacing, and fearlessness on descents
  • How he trains for the extremes of a race like TOR
  • A blow-by-blow look at his incredible run this year
  • The mindset behind pushing beyond limits

This one goes deep into what separates good ultra-runners from great ones — and what it means to race for days in the high mountains.
