ON THE ROAD TO UTMB®
TRAINING NEVER STOPS
Imagine running 100-plus miles for more than 20 hours straight at extreme elevations on rugged terrain in brutal conditions. That’s the Ultra-Trail Mont Blanc, one of the world’s most prestigious (and challenging) trail running events. Preparation is a year-round endeavor for athletes like Katia Fori and Li Kuo, who train a world apart yet share the same drive, determination, and ultimate destination. And while the race doesn’t officially start until August 26, the road for Katia and Li has already begun.
“
Running is different from many sports. It requires you to train consistently every day in order to make a little progress."
– LI KUO
