  • Tom Evans returns to the Singletrack Podcast to talk with Finn Melanson about how he plans to bounce back from last year's Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc (UTMB) and focus on process goals instead of outcome goals, his new approach to social media and in-person engagements before race day, some of the latest training and racing science he's incorporating into his 2024 schedule, and the influence of work and travel in Kenya on his ultrarunning career.
    Timestamps:
    (0:35) - influence of the military and Iten, Kenya trails on his ultramarathon career
    (10:50) - greediness, selectivity, being realistic about racing performance prospects, trail race strategy
    (30:42) - perils of media engagements, social media in sports, distractions and their impact on race day performance
    (48:43) - ultrarunning training questions around specificity, double-labeled water test, exogenous ketones, traveling with a rice cooker, running nutrition tips

    Thanks for tuning into this interview with Tom Evans. One thing to note - we had some technical difficulties in post-production, which required us to use the web-based backup video file for publishing. It’s not perfect (there are a few moments where Tom cuts out for about 5 seconds), but it’s the best we could do under the circumstances! Hope you enjoy it. Let me know in the comments below your takeaways from the conversation!

    Finn, your interviews with Walmsley and Evans are very good and well done. These interviews provide great context and perspectives into these elites at these elite races. I really appreciate your work.

    Media is so overdone and most of it not necessary. This is a great interview.

    Tom is a great tactician in every aspect of racing. Is the comment about Jim being the favourite to win and his race to lose a master psychology move to put more pressure onto Jim and take the pressure of himself a little? Let the mind games commence 🤣 Can't wait for race day.
