Description

Tom Joly of the Kailas FUGA Elite Team joins the podcast to talk through a pivotal stretch in his season — dealing with a DNF at UTMB, addressing iron deficiency, and putting together a strong, confident run to finish 3rd at Grand Trail des Templiers.

We talk about:

  • What actually went wrong at UTMB
  • How iron deficiency was discovered and managed
  • Training at altitude and rebuilding after disappointment
  • Nutrition adjustments through this period
  • The mindset behind “failing forward”
  • Executing a composed race at Templiers

An honest conversation about frustration, reflection, rebuilding, and turning things around with patience and intent.
