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.
