stage race

Short and sweet could describe today's stage... minus the sweet! It was a brutal course and once again we've seen a lot of drama, and like yesterday, runners went absolutely "full send" mode in all the segments!

Wanna learn why that day was so special for Nienke Brinkman? Unveil Morgan Eliott's secret on how to take the uphill segment win from Remi Bonnet ? Or find out how Sophia Laukli and Allie MacLaughlin helped each other out to finish 2nd and 3rd of this stage respectively ?

Well, it's all there in today's episode and more, enjoy!

CARNAGE !!!

From my experience in stage races, we usually see the biggest amount of carnage on day 3 or 4 but day 2 of the Golden Trail World Series Final in Madeira Island was insane. From a 180 degree shift in weather going from wet and raining yesterday, today was sunny, hot and windy  = perfect combo for dehydration !

I also managed to get on the course to give you additional updates on how the race went, as well as pre and post race interviews, enjoy !

The first stage took place and it was hell of a kick off for this week of racing. Crazy weather, people going out fast, blow ups, crashes, sprint finishes, we got them all for you, right from the field, enjoy !

In this episode of NomadWolf, we are joined with North Face ultra and trail runner, Vlad Ixel.  You've probably seen his incredible Instagram content doing alternative types of trail running specific workouts or come across his hydration tablet company Bix. We managed to catch up with him for a quick hour to go over how he manages everything from using his addictive personality to his benefit, racing to a high degree to co-founding a company with his wife, Silke.

It's no surprise that there's probably something interesting and different about you if you're playing within this ultra marathon world.  For many, ultra running might be an addiction that could be actually doing us some good, which means that we've overcome some pretty poor habits.  Vlad's story is somewhat similar except for maybe how after his second marathon he jumped right into a 230 km+ desert stage race.  We dive into that, his mentality, some of his memorable DNF's, lessons from racing and why he eventually co-founded Bix Hydration.

Overall, Vlad's secret to life is quite simple and inspiring.  Think long term, go all in but operate on the consistent little things every day.  There's a lot of sacrifice involved, but in the end it prepares you for whatever you're building to.

We hope you enjoy this episode and hope you use your additive personality to take somewhere incredible.
