Running long - A trail and ultra running talk

Karina Carsolio is a Mexican trail runner (corredora de montaña) sponsored by Salomon. She comes from a family of world class mountaineers from which she inherited her love for the mountains and the high altitudes (she lives above the clouds at 2600m of elevation, on a vulcano!). She enjoys running on very technical terrain, which is no doubt since this year she stood on the podium of Dolomyths Run, the 3rd stage of 2021 Golden Trail World Series.  Her deep interest for physiology and her studies in medicine, together with her passion for trail running, made her realize how little awareness and information related to women's health there is among athletes. One of her missions is to extend the research on this topic, to share this type of information and make it available to anyone, in particular to help female athletes struggling with REDs (relative energy deficiency), eating disorders and body image. Follow her on social media @karicarsolio and find out more about her project: La Atleta Integral

Pascal Egli is a Swiss mountain runner and ski mountaineer who likes steep and technical races. He has an endless passion for mountains and their unspoilt landscapes, where mostly he feels at home, preferably above 3000m of elevation. While being a world class athlete, he's also completing a PhD in glaciology at the University of Lausanne. Coming out of his first ultra, we sat down and chatted about his running career, his training and his future plans in the sport. We covered his environmental activism, his commitment for non profit organizations like POW (Protect Our Winters Switzerland) and Kilian Jornet Foundation. We talked about the importance of recovery, the environmental awareness of trail runners, his glaciology field work and the balance between his studies and his professional athletic career. Please welcome: Pascal Egli!
