Are you a thrill-seeker, trail runner enthusiast, or lover of mountain hiking? Our guest today is a mountain athlete/ trail runner who specializes in ultra sports, or ultramarathons, which is any race longer than the standard 42km/ 26-mile race. We welcome Adam Campbell, whose passion lies in exploring the Alpine, whether it's running, skiing, or climbing. He is a former professional triathlete, narrowly missing the Olympics, who now spends his time in the mountains with multiple podiums and many prestigious ultra races, and breaking Guinness World Records. In our interview today, Adam shares where his interest in different sports originated and how he switched from a triathlete to a mountain athlete. He talks about his first 100-miler race, how he prepares, and the different effects elevation has on his training and races. We then hear about his grisly climbing accident that left him with broken bones and other injuries. He shares with us his journey, both physical and mental, as he trained and ran his first race post-injury, and what it was like to accept his new physical capacity.
