Going the extra mile to train resilience, feat. Salomon Wettstein (Ultra Runner & co-CEO Synpulse8)

Meet Salomon Wettstein, one of Hong Kong’s best ultrarunners and co-CEO of Synpulse8. Salomon champions putting in the hard work and meticulous planning to achieve greatness in ultra racing and business. That made him a very successful runner who finished the super tough Hong Kong 4 Trail Challenge and who won the Lantau70 & Lantau100 and many other races in Asia and Europe. Plus, he grew his business successfully alongside all that.

Salomon opens up in this episode about his journey to trail running, his training style and the experience of doing the Hong Kong 4 Trail Challenge. It is all about building resilience.

Additionally, he shares his views about the latest trends in the trail industry, how running shops have a tough time competing and how the industry needs to be more professional to provide elite runners with a decent income.

In the news section, Salomon, Markus and Ned discuss the recent Sierre Zinal race where Kilian raced to his 10th victory (!) and many Kenyans came into the top 10.

Tune in to learn more.
