In this episode, we dive into the myths that shape how we think about trail running. Do carbon shoes really make you faster? Do you always need to train on trails to be ready for races? Can you race yourself into shape, or is that a recipe for burnout? Is walking a sign of weakness, or actually one of the smartest tools in an ultrarunner’s kit? We also unpack whether intervals are truly necessary, whether trail races are still wilderness experiences or have become big festivals, and finally - whether ultras are ultimately about suffering.

We share our own experiences from years of training and racing, and talk about where the truth usually lies in the grey area between. Expect honest reflections, practical insights, and a few friendly disagreements along the way.
