Playing with Fire - I DARED and I TRIED - Eszter Csillag

Hey Headlampers! Welcome to the Headlamp Hour! On this episode of the Headlamp Hour we talk with Eszter Csillag - a trail runner born in Hungary but currently based in Hong Kong.

Eszter is a mother of two and just last week defended her dissertation for her PhD in Art History! On this episode we talk about how Eszter was raised in an active, sports family of 6 children in Budapest, Hungary, how she met her husband and now how she lives and trains in Hong Kong.

We talk about her involvement in the Pro Trail Runners association - specifically working on equality for women in media coverage and in all other aspects of trail running.

We talk about her amazing 3rd place finish at Western States in 2023 and her attempt at the Western States - UTMB double last year - and some difficult and personal issues that were going on behind the scenes but how she maintained a positive attitude through it all. We talk about the cultivating lessons learned and how she plans to attempt that double again in 2024!

We discuss some of the amazing friends she’s made through trail running and how it’s a sport that brings us all together!

We also talk about her adventures in raising two children in Hong Kong and how she fits in her training among Phd’ing, immersing herself in Chinese culture, and everything else that she has going in her life! I hope you enjoy this conversation with Ezster Csillag!
