A debrief of Jon’s win at UTS 57K by UTMB, where he approached the race as a training effort rather than an all-out performance. The Albons also discuss the role of training races within a wider training programme, when poles are worth carrying in trail races, and whether simple sugar has finally replaced gels as their go-to fueling strategy. They also share updates on recovery, heat training, and preparations for MontBlanc 90K around the corner.
