155. Eli Hemming | Working my way up to the top: how to become a professional trail runner

Running long - A trail & ultra running talk

Eli Hemming is a professional runner for Adidas Terrex from Kremmling, Colorado.

Eli is maybe my greatest competitor of this 2024: we shared the podium at OCC in Chamonix, where he was first and I was second, so I absolutely wanted to have him on the podcast at some point. We’re good friends in life and great enemies during competitions, and we both think this is the best way to show our mutual respect as athletes and competitors: offering the best we’re capable of to each other.

In this conversation we talk about Eli’s life and training with her wife Tabor, in their ranch on the mountains of Colorado, his background as an elite triathlete, becoming a professional trail runner, his upcoming debut in the 50m distance at JFK 50 this weekend and much more.
