Singletrack With Mathias Eichler

Finally I got Scott Michie on Singletrack. It's only taken 315 episodes. And all it took was Scott heading back to Chamonix for another dance around that big white mountain. Over the last few years Scott and I have trained together, run many trails, and climbed many mountains. And in a couple of weeks we'll both be in Chamonix together. He will run UTMB, for the second time while I put on a bib for OCC. In this episode we'll chat about Scott's experience at UTMB a couple years ago and how he's approaching training and preparation differently. Oh, and we're both very very excited about it all.

Julie Urbanski, cofounder of Team RunRun will be racing OCC in just a couple of weeks. No stranger to the UTMB madness Julie has been with her family many times in Chamonix, crewing and spectating, but this year it is her turn to run the race. I also ask her about some of her favorite places and things to do in the Chamonix valley, including what gondolas to ride! I cannot wait to touch down in the Alps and take it all in.
