Hey everyone! Welcome to a short episode right after the Trail Running World Championships in Canfranc in the Pyrenees. What an amazing and unforgettable experience! I spent four days there with a friend – cheering, taking photos, filming, and catching up with a few athletes for short interviews. The trails, the scenery, and the performances were just incredible. I came back home feeling truly enriched and grateful for the whole experience.

In this episode, I chat with Frédéric Tranchand, recorded the day after his fantastic victory in the Short Trail race (44.5 km / 3,557 m elevation gain/loss). He shares his strategy, the mix of orienteering and sky running, and how he took the lead at the first aid station.

🏅 Top 3 Men – Short Trail 2025 Canfranc:

🥇 Frédéric Tranchand 🇫🇷 – 4:42:10

🥈 Manuel Merillas 🇪🇸 – 4:45:33

🥉 Andreu Blanes 🇪🇸 – 4:51:52

Some episodes are in German, others in English – and stay tuned! In the coming days and weeks, more short episodes and in-depth conversations with participants and coaches from the World Championships will be released.
