Episode Description from the Publisher

This week on Trail Talk, Aaron and Jake Catterall get into the Mont Blanc Super Loop, all eight UTMB week courses run back to back in one continuous effort, and how the whole thing only exists because another project got called off three days in. Recorded in Chamonix four days after he finished. They get into the Amsterdam advertising job he burned himself out in, the Ironman that taught him the finish line was the worst part of it, cutting eighty percent of his mates out of his life to get there, cycling 700km to Berlin on a borrowed bike with no plan, running Norway to Spain to impress his girlfriend, the Via Alpina that his mum suggested by accident, soloing the Matterhorn to check whether the community was right about conditions, calling off the Alpine Connections after three days of rockfall and rotten glaciers, the order he ran the eight courses in and which ones actually hurt, sausages on one side of the vest and gummies on the other, crying his way down a descent on the TDS and deciding that was a good thing, whether he considers himself a trail runner at all, and what he makes of brand camps and clique culture in the valley. RunMotion - The official training partner for Trail Talk.
