Joe Palisi | First Northeast Ultra 8 Gold Skyrunner

This week I interviewed Joe Palisi. He is a runner, hiker, climber and skier and this March became the first person to finish the Northeast Ultra 8 Gold Skyrunner Challenge. Joe completed the Presi Traverse, Pemi Loop, Mahoosuc Traverse, Devil’s Path, Great Range Traverse, Taconic Crest Traverse, Saranac 6 & Cranberry 50 in both summer and winter all under strict time limits. These are eight of the toughest single day routes in the northeast and he had some crazy and epic stories getting this project done. He’s a great athlete, strong runner & hiker and a good dude.I ended the episode with a discussion on trail conditions and trail season, race results and race previews, and a bit of a deep dive into some “dream talk”.Give it a listen.HOW TO FIND JOE:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/joe.palisi/STRAVA: https://strava.app.link/Q8ZAnr0ar2bYOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksTRAINING & NUTRITION INFOhttps://substack.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coachingFOLLOWInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588592565447TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@runmountainpeaksThreads: https://www.threads.com/@runmountainpeaks?hl=enX: https://x.com/runmtnpeaks#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest
