Like the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) – a 171-kilometer race with 10,000 meters of positive elevation gain around the giant of the Alps – these endurance events are like condensed lives. One must face their emotions, the euphoria and the frustration, the moments of joy and suffering, and find the means to achieve their goals as well as manage their failures.<\/p>\n
I approach this new career, like my former one as an engineer. Ultra-trail encompasses several areas to master: training and recovery; sleep duration; nutrition; altitude; climate, etc. This sport is a significant daily project, with numerous improvable parameters, making the challenges it offers all the more exciting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
