Ryan Ghelfi | Post Sponsorship Athlete Life, Trail Running Teams, UTMB, FKT Scene

Text us your thoughts about this episode or ideas for future episodes!

Ryan Ghelfi is the Founder of Trails and Tarmac, one of the more prominent coaching businesses in our sport. He has also run professionally for Nike and Hoka One One. And he’s a great thinker in our sport, which is the primary reason why I wanted to have him on the podcast.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What the transition looks like after sponsored athlete life ends
• His thoughts on team-based ultra running
• The benefits of bringing runners together to do workouts
• His thoughts on UTMB and the boomerang effect it had making him want to embed more in the American West. 
• FKT culture
• The Ashland, Oregon running scene

Enjoy!
