Zachary Frisch a.k.a. TrailswithZach on Instagram decided to climb 1,000,000 feet of elevation in 2024. That is the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest 34.4 times! This amazing achievement is impressive but even more impressive is what he found on the way that made him reaching to even higher heights in 2025! A student from Arizona, called to the Mountains of Utah, he found a love for trail running and mountains, and more mountains, AND MORE MOUNTAINS!Like a moth to a flame Zach can't stay out of the mountains, and he himself can't stop attracting a horde of new trailrunners eager to come along with the guy who always has a smile and is the number one Hype Man on the trail!I had the chance to do a workout with Zach as he ran 20 x 400M sprints after a two mile warm-up and a two mile cool-down. What he finished with confidence left me slowly trotting around the track at an 9 minute pace...Zach's unique perspective on life and running makes you want to run just for the fun of it. You can find him on the trail, usually with a small group of likeminded runners excited for the camaraderie and the chance to slide down a snowy mountain. I had a blast with Zach and wish him all the best as he goes for a blistering course record on the famous Mount Timpanogas trail.🚀 Welcome to Mean Grit – Your #1 Source for balancing the grind of Home, Work, and Exercise 🚀In a fast paced world how can you do it all?
