    Focus on Yourself and Just Run with Wonny Keil

    What does it take to survive the brutal, crowded, and stunning trails of the UTMB® CCC? In this episode of the Run Fearless Podcast, host Caleb Scoville sits down with Salomon running team athlete Wonny Keil to break down the raw reality of racing in the Alps. If you are training for the CCC or dreaming of Chamonix, this episode is packed with the tactical advice you need. Episode Overview: From her home base in Innsbruck—the trail running capital of Austria—Wonny brings elite experience mixed with unfiltered honesty. She shares what it’s really like to navigate the massive bottleneck of the CCC start line, fight through severe weather conditions, and manage mid-race injuries. We dive deep into: The CCC Traffic Jam: Why you need to get to the front of your starting corral and how to manage the crowd. The Reality of Race Day: Facing injuries, stomach issues, and running through literal rivers in a Chamonix downpour. Mental Anchors: The surprising (and hilariously "awful") German pop song that fueled Wonny to the finish line at mile 70. Gear & Nutrition Essentials: Fast-hiking with poles, the Salomon Genesis, and the ultimate mandatory gear item. Whether you're gearing up for your own ultra or just love the grit of mountain sports, Wonny’s insights will help you focus on your own race and keep moving forward.
