Welcome to the Ultra Lado, where we explore the vast trails in your mind using two legs and a yearning to run. 

That’s right, today we are coming to you in English! If English is your second language or you feel more comfortable with subtitles in English, you’ll find this full interview in video form on YouTube with subtitles.  

Today, we’ll be speaking with Michele Graglia, an Italian ultra-runner based in the US. You might know Michele as the former top model who turned pro-endurance athlete. Over the last few years, Michele has carved a name for himself in the Ultrarunning scene by winning the hottest race on earth at Badwater in 2018, the coldest race, the Yukon Arctic Ultra, and setting a world record by crossing Chile's Atacama Desert, 560 miles, in 8 days. Oh, and Moab… and a bunch more. In addition to being an incredible endurance athlete who found his calling later in life, Michele is a gifted speaker who has an amazing way to talk about goals, motivation, and mindfulness all through the lens of ultra running. In his book, Ultra: Top Model to Top Ultra Runner, he shares his story of transformation and continuous pursuit of self-development. 

I was psyched to find out Michele will be a fellow ambassador for the OneHundred Mountain Trail World Series and he’ll be running the 100-kilometer race in Paraty, Brazil in April and the 100-mile race in Italy in October. In this interview, we talk about:  

- OneHundred Mountain Trail World Series and why Michele decided to get involved  

- Mental preparation for running 100 miles 

- Finding and reinventing your why  

- nutrition 

- veganism 

-  fat adaptation  

-the differences between Ultra running culture in Europe and the US and what Brazil should learn from this 

- and a bunch more.  

It’s a really inspiring talk, and a real trip on the Ultra Lado as you would expect with an amazing person like Michele.
