How do you deal with death threats you receive through your LinkedIn post you meant to be inspirational and informative? How do you obsess over the process of becoming a better trail runner and detach yourself from the outcome?
Chris Claflin is a trail runner based in Bentonville, Arkansas, and a financial coach whose LinkedIn posts are informative, educational, but apparently also controversial to some
On this episode of the Headlamp Hour we dive into what the trail running scene is like in Chris’ hometown -  a city known for being the World Headquarters of Walmart, but which has also been dubbed the “Mountain Bike Capital of the World”. 
We also talk with Chris about having explicit priorities in life and how trail running supports many of those priorities including God, Family, and Health. 
Be sure to give Chris Claflin a follow over on LinkedIn as long as you plan on not issuing any death threats!

Eszter is a mother of two and just last week defended her dissertation for her PhD in Art History! On this episode we talk about how Eszter was raised in an active, sports family of 6 children in Budapest, Hungary, how she met her husband and now how she lives and trains in Hong Kong.

We talk about her amazing 3rd place finish at Western States in 2023  and her attempt at the Western States - UTMB double last year - and some difficult and personal issues that were going on behind the scenes but how she maintained a positive attitude through it all. We talk about the cultivating lessons learned and how she plans to attempt that double again in 2024! 

We discuss some of the amazing friends she’s made through trail running and how it’s a sport that brings us all together!
